farewell molly




well, we are once again petless. we have not been in this state since july of 2004. while the kids and i were out of town with my parents to allow adam time to adjust to residency, our wonderful and nearly perfect kitty molly was hit by a car. this is sad on a number of levels...marit loved her and molly and marit followed each other around and snuggled together (marit earned molly's affections with many cat treats). also, molly was seriously the most low-maintenance pet i have ever had. she house trained herself once we moved to a place with a yard. she really did not have any vices, except the occasional howl for a treat. she will be missed for sure. i know the best way to get over the loss of a pet is to get another one soon after (we lost many pets in my childhood). we just are not sure what we want to do...two kittens? a dog? no pets for a while?

oh that's so sad Ellen, I told the girls about it today and they were so sad too. Jada sad "oh poor Molly" I would either go the no pet root or since you have such a great backyard, get a fun dog (but beware, having a puppy is like a baby all over again!)
