Molly passed over the bridge on Jan. 20th. of this year. She was only three years old, and the absolute love of our lives. It's only been recently that I've been able to talk about her without breaking down in hysterical tears.
She passed on a Sunday afternoon, after following my son's dog out the backyard gate as my husband was taking the trash out to the curb for Monday morning pick-up. Molly never tried to leave the backyard on her own, but my son's dog was a recent rescue and didn't have any training, so he ran out at the first sight of an opening.
My son's dog immediately ran up the street, with Molly in hot pursuit. My husband almost had Molly by the collar at one point, but she took off again as my son's dog crossed the main highway.
As fate would have it, a big SUV was speeding down the street just as Molly crossed. It happened fast, and my husband was witness to it all. Fortunately, Molly didn't suffer, as she died immediately.
It has been very hard on the entire family, as Molly WAS family, in every respect. I never would have thought that we would get another beagle so quickly, but a week without our precious Molly was all we could take, so we rang the breeder where we obtained Molly and immediately picked out Maggie.
Although one dog can never replace another, Maggie has wormed her way into our hearts and helped fill the void that was left with Molly's passing. I wish I had found this site when Molly was alive, so I could have shared her with you all. She was without a doubt, a special, SPECIAL little girl.
Below are a couple pictures of her taken several months before her passing. If one could only turn back the hands of time...
