Mollies trip


Today Mollie made her last trip to see family. My mom had a little party at her house, and everyone came by to give Mollie one last pet. She still is doing fairly well, considering, but she wont be making any more trips. Her lip has been bleeding more often now, but her spirits are still good. She will let us know when she's had enough of the battle.

Picture is of Mollie and Nicky, who passed away a few years ago. They were bestest good friends!

Just adding another picture of Mollie. She had a good day today - energy up, pain meds helping. Next Sunday she will make one last trip to see family. Over the years, she has made people feel good - friendly to all, hopping on laps, and playing fetch with her toys. She has had lots of adventures - from hikes to rockhounding, always at our side. I'll share some of the stories in the next few weeks.

Mollie, our beagle mix has cancer. We found out yesterday, it is a quick acting cancer, and its located in her mouth. We were told that if the cancer has not spread to the rest of her organs, her jaw could be removed and might buy her a year of life. Rather than putting her through that, we have opted to give her pain medication, and make her life as comfortable as possible until she lets us know its time...
