Popular Post Geoff Weeks Posted September 2 Popular Post Share Posted September 2 So sorry to hear that. It is tough. I can't go through it with dry eyes. Buried one and the dog I have now isn't long for this world. The love they give their whole life doesn't make it easier but does blunt the pain long term, I have the good memories of all animals that have passed through my life.. 3 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75917-miss-molly-the-border-collie/#findComment-581950 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Geoff Weeks Posted September 2 Popular Post Share Posted September 2 I'm reaching a point in my life, that when Rory dies, I'm not sure I have another 15-16 years I can provide to a young dog. The only thing worse than my dog's passing would be for me to pass before him. I can't imagine how to make sure he would be cared for. My 2 dogs were over 1 year old when I got them. I think this time I would look for an older dog that needs a good home, and can be cared for in its older years. Only "puppy" I had was when I was growing up. While it is nice to be there from the beginning, there is plenty of love coming into their lives later also. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75917-miss-molly-the-border-collie/#findComment-581970 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I have to leave and can't take him, like when I go to the doctor or something, he sits in the window and watches, from the time I leave until I get home. 3 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mechohaulic Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 sorry for Your loss. I found my best companion ; a 8 week old shepherd husky at a shelter number of yrs ago. he stayed by my side for 16 yrs . as with many 2/or 4 legged ; time takes it's toll. a decision to have him putdown to end his suffering were difficult. at 74 I can not enter thoughts of a new shelter puppy; my knees can't walk it. don't want the misery of putting down a senior dog. in a weird way the contract for this rent states "no animals/pets", possibly a good thing. thoughts of a cat are there . to have witnessed today how Otherdog and His Wife have 3 beautiful puppies so loyal and calm were a great gladness to me. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75917-miss-molly-the-border-collie/#findComment-581987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted September 3 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 3 Thanks for the kind thoughts everyone I always say to people that dogs are only with us for a short while because they give so much in that short time I have never bought a dog, they just sort of end up in my life, normally as a pup I wish I had my older mind many years ago with dogs as my biggest regrets inlife are when I have really done my block (gotten really angry) at a dog It achieved nothing and the dog meant nothing wrong, I guess age gives us wisdom, sometimes ? Miss Molly will be missed by me thats for sure and to me she was a unofficial forum member as she featured in plenty of messages and story telling Miss Molly came into my world when I was putting underground power onto a cattle station (ranch) in north Queensland, Leichhardt Creek station (is about 33,000 acres) Anyway this little pup, maybe about 10 or 12 weeks old gave me a hand all day, whether I needed a hand or not grabbing conduit and electrical wire, the end of the day I was asked if I would like her to which I said "YES PLEASE" and she came back to the sugar cane farm and chased roo's and pulled deer down and wrestled big goannas and generally lived a good life full of adventure She always loved riding in the trucks, she loved the little Isuzu as she could lay on the seat and cuddle me and watch the road all at the same time what a mate she was, did many 1000s of km sitting on the passenger seat of the Mack, I dunno how she sat there for so long but she loved it and would really crack a darcky if I left her behind I do a lot of running and in maybe the last 6 months she started to struggle to do the miles in the morning so the runs got shorter she loved it when we shifted to town as she would clean up around the fast food fish and chip cafe type of shops Anyway she bought me a lot of joy and I hope she had fun Leichhardt Creek station called her "Rubbish" as they were convinced she would never amount to much as she was kinda smallish for a working dog in Australia were they generally have huge dangley legs to cover upwards of 50 km a day working cattle and sheep the Princess changed her name to Molly I usually called Sweety or Darling pie once again, thanks for the kind thoughts Paul 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75917-miss-molly-the-border-collie/#findComment-581995 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cruiseliner64 Posted September 3 Popular Post Share Posted September 3 Ah so sorry to hear Molly passed on.She was by your side so much.The pictures are lovely.I know how you feel at this moment.20 odd years ago the kids wanted a dog which I was totaly against but was over ruled.Anyway this little Cain Terrier was got from the dog rescue.She was sitting shakeing in fear at the back of a kennel.The kids picked her and when I heard her history I was both heartbroken and angry.She was found strapped to a fence with barbed wire.She was afraid of me but went to the kids and the wife.Clearly wherever she was the man of the house abused her badly.Over the next 6 months she learned to trust me and we went everywhere together.We had a wonderful 14 years with "Bunty"but she got cancer and passed.I cant bring myself to get another dog as the heartache when she passed was too much to do again.Im with you Paul I know how your feeling.RIP Molly.
