Thank you everyone for your kind words on Tuesday as we said goodbye to Molly. I could not have asked for a more peaceful passing. She was snoring loudly, so content with her head in my lap, until she took her last breath. After doing this almost 60 times since I starting rescuing seniors, that silence after is something that will always take a small piece of my heart away. I often wonder if there is anything left of it at all.

While we have not been active in rescuing, we hope that we have been able to make a small impact in this world. In a time that feels so hopeless and materialistic, these dogs remind me daily of what matters most. I’ll never truly stop rescuing, in some capacity, until it’s my turn to go be with all of my kids.

Live every moment as if it’s your last breath. In a time so ugly, there is still so much beauty in the world.

I wanted to let everyone know that Molly will be crossing the bridge this afternoon. I’ve had Molly for about 4 years. She came to rescue when her person passed away and a friend of her momma reached out for help. Molly was always a relaxed and gentle girl. She loved her food, lounging on her couch and having her belly scratched.

Molly went to the vet last week and had bloodwork done. It revealed Kidney failure, liver failure and pancreatitis. At 14, this isn’t uncommon. We gave it a go this weekend with meds, subcutaneous fluids and chicken and rice diet. This morning, she was laying on the floor in her urine and shaking. I won’t allow her to suffer any further.

If anyone is interested in contributing to her final care, it would be greatly appreciated. You can call her vet, VCA Broadway Animal Hospital in Elmira, NY or Zelle 443-834-9193. All of our kids are privately cremated and ashes returned to us.

Update on Peanut. He was seen by my vet this morning. After an exam and tests including an ECG he has a heart arrythmia and enlarged right side of his heart which caused a vagal vassal episode. He has been prescribed a medication which he most likely need for the rest of his life. I did ask how at a little over a year old this happened. His vet said that since he has been seen multiple times and no arrythmia was heard it was most likely from the fire last year. It was a very long night. But the good news is it is treatable! (Tammy)

Hey everyone have an emergency situation. Peanut our sole survivor had an episode tonight where he was trying to vomit and had a seizure and stopped breathing. I was able to get him to start breathing again but he is struggling and pale. I am very worried about him but have no funds for an emergency vet. He is only a year old and my sole survivor. This is my personal dog and we are no longer active but I am very worried (Tammy)
