I still cry when I think about when we had to put one of our dogs to sleep almost five years ago now. Einstein was over 15 years old and had a bunch of problems, like Molly. I still remember the day we put him to sleep like it was yesterday. The pain of his passing is still the same.
Our remaining dog, Kala, turns 10 this month, too, and she's already starting to show her age. It's so hard because we love them so much! You and your wife, and Molly, are in our prayers!!
"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... "

It is clear that Molly could not have asked for a better life than the one she lived with you and Kristine. Please accept our condolences on the passing of your faithful companion.

The first time I went home last year after my Australian Shepherd passed away was so hard. I continued to hear him next to my bed at night and the bed felt too big without him next to me (taking up more than half the space, I might add).
It won't be the same without Molly. We'll have to be sure to tell the twins all the stories about their Big Sister Molly.
I truly wish you and Kristine the best as you give yourselves time and space to grieve and heal during this time of family loss. And then remember, you are about to be blessed with twins! Look up as things will be changing soon for the better in your lives. :-)
Thinking of you.
Molly will help you and your wife when the time is right, trust me. : )
My wife and I lost a cat in December. We came home and he had died in his sleep (we had two other cats, also). Exactly one week later, at the same hour of us finding Macaroni (Mackie) passed away, a little girl cat showed up on our doorstep and wouldn't leave. After checking the neighborhood for her keepers and having her checked for an ID chip, she became part of our family. She even has some of the same mannerisms and preferences that Mackie did. It's hard to not believe he had something to do with her choosing us.
Always remember that as much as it hurts now for you, you were provided Molly with the best home she could ask for.
You made the right decision, both for Molly and for your family. I wish you guys all the best.
Big hugs & purrs,

Very sorry to hear about Molly. I just got a dog myself about three years ago and I can certainly imagine the pain of losing such a loyal friend and companion. It's especially rough when she's been suffering. I'm glad she had such loving owners
We were so sad to hear about Molly... she was such a pampered pooch! I miss trading Beagle stories in the hallways at church. Our Jessie is now 6 and since we moved to Fort Collins CO we have adopted another Beagle Abby.... want her???? ;) Abby is 3 and a wild one but fun none the less. You have many wonderful memories of Molly and I'm sure we will be reunited with our beloved pets on the otherside... how could it be otherwise?
DR and I were so excited to hear about your twins... Congrats!!! I keep track of your family through your website. I'll look forward to the pictures once they kiddies are born. Give your Mom my best too.
Best Wishes,
Judy and DR Johnson
My heart and tears go out to you. My family lost our beloved boston terrier, Lumpia, in an accident, its been one year and we are still grief strickened. God created the dog to advance the human race, to not only have a job as a worker to help man, but to live side by side as a loyal friend and a furry family member. God surely loves all of mankind and his creatures he created, God will surely keep Molly by his side so you can both reunite oneday.
Thank you for this tribute page. May her soul visit you in your dreams. Blessings!

I wanted to acknowledge the anniversary of a deep heartache (I'm so sorry this note is late), and tender my appreciation for the inspiration you both offer via this blog and in the raising of your twins. Yes, Molly would be proud for what you continue to offer - a warm and inviting place among friends, with thought provoking conversation, and unparalleled hope and vision for the future.
With warmest wishes.
Respectfully Yours in Safety and Service,
