[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 531990, member: 1233"] (((((hugs))))) I am so very sorry. Of course Sadie won't EVER take Molly's place in your heart. Given that Molly and Rowdy are both showing their age, it may be that they sent Sadie off on one 'last run' with directions to then come home and care for you when they got to the point that they couldn't, be it soon or not. not to ever take their place in your heart, but so that they would know that you were taken care of when they couldn't do it any longer.
