Bye bye Molly. I am sorry for your loss.
This reminds me of my dog Mutley (who was 6 months older than me) and my dog Bambi (who was 3 or 4 years older than me). They're both dead now. Mutley was 9 when he died and Bambi was 16.
To top it all off, I'm coughing my lungs up right now. And my dad thinks that I have Swine Flu.
