Nick and Vicki's Tribute to Miss Molly Moo

Molly came to NEBTR in Aug 2009 two weeks shy of her 11th birthday. She was diagnosed with Cushings and due to those medical complications we kept her as a permanent foster. She spent the next year and a half with us learning how to snuggle and be an important part of our family. She yodeled and danced like a little dancing queen when she wanted a cookie. She was a pleasure to sing with and she even filled in end of phrases for me! When we took in Ori, our 3-legged puppy mill mama, Molly taught her how to be a dog. Ori watched Molly's every step and action and it was Molly's confidence and ways that helped Ori to relax and "learn the ropes." Molly never gave up on being a part of our family. She loved to chew on bones, bully's and later zuke z ridges, always enjoying what was given to her. She traveled with us often and was a model doggy citizen loving time in nature and time with a pack of other dogs. We thought we were here to help her, but as usual, she helped us in more ways than we can ever express. Sweet dreams Miss Moo, we will always remember you and the love you faithfully gave to our little family...

 And here is the tribute Vicki wrote to Molly on her website:


We had a quick slide down and before we all knew it, we were saying goodbye to our beautiful Miss Moo.... We helped her cross on Friday evening...she was in my arms snuggled close to my heart and she went peacefully, released of her pain and confusion.

She came into our lives, reluctantly on our part on Aug 15, 2009.  We had a few beautiful months with her and Tink and then she helped us transition after Tink crossed the bridge.  She helped Ori learn all the things she needed to learn as a dog in our house beginning when Ori came to us in Jan '10.  And for just over a year we had "our girls" Ori and Molly.  Molly being top dog and reminding O from time to time.  Ori and Moo made a great pair.  Ori made a mess of whatever she was playing with and Molly ate the mess if we weren't fast enough.

We fell for Molly fast.  I used to tease Nick that she was Molly's boyfriend.  She was easy going and over the past year and a half learned to snuggle and love and be an important part of our little family.

And in a blink of an eye, our time with her is up.  She had a beautiful retirement with us.  We couldn't have asked for anything more, but of course we always want just a little more time.  Just one more pain free day....  Another beautiful golden girl left her paw prints forever on our hearts.  I wouldn't trade our time for anything.  She was another gem, another reminder of the good gifts we are given.

Miss Moo run fast and free, free of pain.  Give Tinker my love; let her know I think of her every day.  Teach her how to sing and always remember how much we love you.

We will have 2 roses in memory of our beautiful girls.... their legacys will live on in the work we will continue to do....

Molly Wigglesbottom: Born Aug 29, 1998.  Loved with us from Aug 15, 2009 to February 11, 2011 and beyond.  We will always remember you darling.
