Molly loved by The Putland Family
Molly (22/07/2004 – 19/09/2018)
Heartbroken to lose this amazing, cheeky, bundle of joy, care-free spirit, loving companion and scruffy soul mate. Such a gift for which I’ll be eternally grateful.
There will only ever be one Molly … that unwieldy scruff, the super-sized personality, the unique and endearing mannerisms, the larger-than-life spirit, the absolute and contagious passion for life and unbridled enthusiasm with which you greeted every day, the enjoyment in watching TV (the David Attenborough series were your favourites, but your ability to recognize – and bark at – cartoon animals was amazing), the incredible intelligence, the naughtiness (like climbing onto the couch as soon as I left home in the morning), a tail that never stopped wagging … and that adorable face with the infectious smile, which got you out of trouble regularly. You ensured I smiled and laughed every day and made hundreds of complete strangers smile as you walked by. You enriched the lives of everyone you met. A gift to me … a gift to the world.
Initially, you had to work hard to win my heart. While I was trying to teach you to walk on a lead, you were trying to teach me that life is too short for restrictions. While I was trying to teach you to wait for your dinner, you were trying to teach me that life’s pleasures should be embraced and engulfed with enthusiasm. If I tried to sleep in, you protested that another beautiful day was escaping, and enjoyment would be lost (and how could I ignore those escalating wake-up barks and resist your smiling face filled with anticipation?) … I’d like to think we reached a compromise, but the truth is, you won. I’m glad you did. You were right. And the more I let you teach me, the better life became, until your Molly Magic completely stole my heart and changed my life forever. Life was much better living it your way. You showed me the power of pure love without inhibitions and that a real hug meant melting together in total contentment. I’ll always miss your hugs Little Bear.
My Little Bear. My Golden Girl. My Beautiful Mess.
You are so deeply missed.
You have left behind a gaping hole in my heart and in my life.
But that just proves how special you were.
Thank you for sharing your life and enriching my life with your love.
Run fast and free my Little Bear.
Forever in my heart.
Your Human Dad.
