[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 575392, member: 84"] I'm doing ok. Actually much better than I thought I'd be doing. I think because I know beyond a doubt Molly's life was as full and happy as any furbaby's life could possibly be. I knew too that she was suffering and it was time to say goodbye. I've known for a while now that the time was drawing near, I'd just hoped that I could be strong enough to let her go and be with her when that time arrived. I'm so glad that I was able to do that for her. Jody, I have no trouble believing you. "Strange" has become normal around here, after a while you just accept what is instead of questioning it. Know what I mean?? I didn't include this moment in the original post because.......well, yesterday it made me too weepy to type. After the sedative the vet had given her had finally worked and Molly was relaxed in my arms.....not asleep, she never did doze off although with the dose he gave her she should've been out cold........as he was administering the actual anesthetic.....he'd gotten a couple of cc's in and her tail began to wag. I mean really wag. Startled both the vet tech and the vet (he paused in giving her the injection and said," OMG her tail is wagging! I've never seen such a thing!" ). I think that totally undid his professional decorum. At that moment when her tail wagged so hard, I knew Fred had come. I knew he was in the room. I could feel him standing next to me. Molly was just happy to see him again. So her Mommy was on this side letting her go and her Daddy was on the other side to greet her. Maggie, oddly enough, is not missing Molly. It's strange because she adores Molly. But I think I know why. Not too long after I got home Maggie went to the baby gate at the living room door. (I still have it up cuz she likes to snitch books from the bookcase and play with them if I'm not in there with her) I saw her out of the corner of my eye, then turned to watch her. Maggie knew that Molly had not come home with us. Maggie's tail suddenly started to wag and she kept cocking her head funny as if she was trying to figure out who was in the living room.
