In Memory of Molly Bloom a/k/a Microdog
My heart goes out to you on the loss of your dear Molly Bloom, what a terrific name for the Queen of your household. I
f you've seen my posts, you know that I've been going through something with my own King of the House, Dillinger, who I was told only had 1 to 3 months to live back in February and while I know the end is going to come, my sweetie is still hogging the bed and lording over the house even more than usual. . . so I am here to say, I've already cried so many tears over the impending loss of my 4-legged son and have yet to experience the depth of your grief, so I am sending my heartfelt best wishes to you. Please try to find comfort in knowing that Molly Bloom has joined a few of our members furry friends that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge recently and she is not alone as she waits for you to join her, and I know my Dillinger will not be without friends when he makes that crossing. . .
Hugs, Laureen

Laureen,
I am so sorry Dillinger is sick.. our 11 year old cat Mazel is sick too, and wasting away - we think he has cancer, but we are hoping it is just IBS and the prednisone will help. He weights a little over 5 pounds now.
All I can say is love him as much as you can. I am really glad that I gave Molly a veal bone in the middle of my desk. I had to reprint some of the research I had done, but she had a yummy bone 2 days before she died and I have the picture of her sitting in the middle of my papers.
There will never be another Molly Bloom. She was the smartest dog I've ever known - and had the most unique personality. I can't believe how much I am missing her. The house feels totally empty without her.
We are going to drive to the middle of the state - about 3 hours - tomorrow to go to a breeders..
The breeder has new poodle pups. We won't get one now, but we are going to be around lots of other dogs. We are taking our other poodle Leo with us.
(((jeane))) my heart breaks for you sweetie...i know exactly what you are going through....like others have said before me in time you will heal from pain of losing your furbaby....and yes she will find many of our loved pets in rainbow heaven!!! she is no longer suffering and is now playing with others that have passed before her...we are here for you if you need us!!!
hugs
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

I'm down 120 pounds - thanks to RNY! Working on the next 25. Then I'll tackle more...
We went only to look. There will never be another Molly Bloom. But the breeder also had a 3 year old ***** that she had bred once - but the poor girl had a uterine infection and had to be spayed about a month ago.
The breeder can't use her for breeding now, of course, and ... she's a beautiful dog. She is about 7 months older than Leo, about the same size, but instead of black or white like Molly, she is a deep red. She is a breathtaking dog and very sweet. She would have had no attention there. The breeder is a good breeder, but has many dogs. Most people don't want older dogs... but she is a charmer.
So we came home with two dogs. All the way back I had two dogs on my lap - which I almost have now.
This dog has an awful name - Squash Blossom. Sarasota Royal Squash Blossom, granddaughter of Eric the Red. (!) Who would name a dog Squash Blossom?
So we have a red toy poodle named Squash Blossom. The first thing she did was jump in the pool - I dont' think she saw it. I went out with her because I knew she did not know the yard and it was dark. I heard a splash, then saw the little mutt swimming and scared to death. So I jumped in after her - dress, watch and all. Miss Squash Blossom had a bath, ate, finally peed, and now is sleeping in the bed she picked out.
Molly will always have a special place in my heart...
I miss her terribly, but now we have adopted an adult dog who needed a home. She looks like a red Molly, but thinner. Leo tried to kiss her but she is still too scared right now to socialize. She was a bit traumetized by the pool jump, I think. The cats looked at her but did not hiss.
DH took a picture of her - I will upload to my profile.
Mazel, by the way, had his first solid stool in a couple of months. I am crossing fingers that maybe just maybe he has IBS and not cancer. We have been giving him prednisone now for about 3 days.
