(MY UNCLE LES AND AUNT GLENDA’S DOG)

MOLLY IS A PURE BRED GOLDEN RETRIEVER WHO WAS BORN IN 1995. WHEN SHE WAS THREE MONTHS OLD MYUNCLE AND AUNT BOUGHT HER FOR THEIR CHILDREN, DAVID AND KAITLIN.

SHE WAS A LITTLE NAUGHTY AS A PUPPY BECAUSE SHE LOVED TO CHEW ON THINGS, ESPECIALLY SHOES. MOLLY LIKED PLAYING OUTSIDE WITH THE KIDS OR HANGING OUT WITH UNCLE LES WHEN HE WAS BARBECUING (HE’D ALWAYS SLIP HER A PIECE OF STEAK OFF THE GRILL). MOLLY WAS A GREAT DOG BUTWHEN SHE GOT OLDER SHE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN QUITE A BIT. SHE DIDN’T REALLY BAEK VERY MUCH EXCEPT WHEN SOMEONE WAS AT THE DOOR, BUT SHE WOULD STOP WHEN SHE SAW WHO WAS THERE.

IN MAY OF 2009, WHEN SHE WAS NEARLY FIFTEEN YEARS OLD, HER MASTERS KNEW THE TIMEHAD COME TO SAY GOODBYE TO THEIR DEAR FRIEND. MOLLY COULD NO LONGER WALK AND HER SIGHT WAS GOING AS WELL. EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY WAS AT THE VET’S WHEN THEY SAID THEIR GOODBYES. MOLLY’S ASHES ARE BURIED UNDER THE SAME TREE WHERE SHE USED TO LIE IN THE SHADE.
