Poodle Molly: A true story by Helen

pc: standard poodle, wikipedia

Molly's background:   Kind people had found Molly, a poodle-mix, after noticing that a car had stopped and Molly was unceremoniously dropped-off like a sack of potatoes.  No notes, no explanations, no nothing.  They took her home, but after a while, their landlord said No, Molly was not allowed on the premises.  Sadly, they made the decision to give Molly away.

They walked-in with Molly through the animal shelter's doors right behind our friend Helen's family.  The apartment-dwelling family convinced Helen and family to adopt Molly.  From the short time they had had her at their apartment, Molly's sweet and lovable personality shone through.

Helen and her family enjoy Molly for many, many years.  She travelled everywhere with them.  They had even taken her across the border to Canada to visit with their son and his family.  Alas, on one of their Canadian trips -- Molly, already unable to walk -- was taken to the Canadian Vet for the very last time. They said their goodbyes. She crossed the rainbow bridge and was cremated.  Her ashes were put in a pretty urn, buckled in the car's back seat,  and driven back to the United States.  The N-family had their good memories and their pretty ash-filled urn, which they prominently and proudly displayed.

Molly's final destination:  Molly's standing with the family was lofty --- she deserved an even better final resting place than just a pretty container gathering dust on a shelf.  Thus, her urn was tucked-in with Helen's husband as he lay in his coffin. Their burial was the next day.

Did Helen and Family love their ♥ pet, or what?

Our very own, beloved "Molly" (not a poodle)
