I went shopping this weekend for art supplies and decided to try a new brand of paint... so I brought it home and painted this...

Little did I know that this drab, depressing blue sample painting would be so appropriate for the mood in our home today... sadly, one of our dogs is going to be put to sleep... we've had her since my son was two...

We were only getting one puppy, but we couldn't leave her sister behind...

They have been very close all through the 11 and 1/2 years we've had them...

I only introduced them to all of you a few weeks ago...

And now our precious Molly Madison will live in our hearts forever...

She will be missed!

Oh I am so very sorry, Fifi. Losing a pet after that long is like losing a member of the family.

Darling sweet pup - so sorry Fifi. xv
Oh Fifi, I am so, so sorry. I know that losing Molly is like losing family. I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts will be with you today. Your somber painting a beautiful tribute to your puppy.

I'm sorry you have to put her down. That's so sad, especially during the holidays. Hang in there.
Aw Fifi,
How sad for you and your family.
Molly will be missed and always loved.
Wish I was there to give you a big hug.
xo xo
Aww. I hate this. Losing a pet. But you are helping her leave the pain. You are doing well by her. selflessly. Godspeed, Fifi.
Hi Fifi! I was going to say Happy Winter right back at ya but I see it isn't a happy day for you. I'm sorry you had to do this, especially now! I know when I found my dear beagle had passed on in the back yard it was very upsetting after 13yrs with us; so I do know how sad you are right now! Feel better dear! Although the new paints are expressing the blues it still is a pretty picture! Sincerely, Jeannette
What a sweetheart!
Very sorry Fifi...
So sorry to hear this. Have you heard of the Rainbow Bridge Poem? There are many versions but thought this one for Fifi (no relation to you) might help

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
Ohhhh, so very sorry Fifi. What an adorable little girl! Dogs always find their way right to our hearts and somehow always remain. Very sorry ~Miss Kris~
I'm so sorry about your little friend. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers today.
What a great life you have given your canine children...I'm sure you will be sad for a while...my kids lost their dog a few years back, and it was almost harder than when they lost a grandparent.
They are certainly part of our families.
I did the same thing with kitties; took two instead of one...big hearts! :)
Blogger hugs to you...
Oh Fifi, I am so sorry to hear this. They become one of the family as dear as your children. What a lovely thing you did tho taking them both together as puppies. My neighbor lost her two dogs within a month of each other earlier this year even tho they were not well it still was a sad loss. My heart goes out to you and your family. I am now going to go hug my sweet Annie.
Oh Fifi - hugs to you. xoxo
Hi Fifi, I am so terribly sorry! I went through this one week ago with my cat of 13 years. My thoughts are with you.
Hugs, Diane
Dear Fifi: I am so very sorry. What a horrible loss at this time of year. It is never easy. But the holidays do tend to magnify everything. Hugs, love and my sincere condolences to you and all who loved Molly.xoxox
Fifi,
My heart aches for you and your family! It is so hard to part with our fur babies as they are a member of the family.
Big Hugs to you,
Tracey
oh, I'm so sorry for your loss. It is so sad to lose loved ones, especially this time of year.
I am so sorry about your precious Molly Madison.....what a loyal friend!
We have had to do the same with two of ours so I KNOW exactly what you are all going through. It is so tough. Please know I am thinking of you!
God Bless!
oh my heart breaks for you!!! as a fellow cocker spaniel lover and owner, it broke my heart when i had to put down pippin (i got her when i was three and she lived to 18 years). there is not a day that goes by that i don't miss her!!! *HUGS*
Sorry to learn about your pet. I had a cocker spaniel when I was little called Mini. It was heartbreaking when I lost him. Know how you feel. Try to have a good Christmas in spite of it all.
Aww I'm so sorry to hear that. Wishing you the best...and you are in my thoughts today.
Fifi,
.....So sad for you and your family...Molly Madison has had the most wonderful thing happen to her...God has touched her (and who wouldn't want to be touched by God) and called her home!
Kris

Fifi...I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Molly. They bring us so much joy and love. But what a lucky pooch she's been, getting to enjoy the love and companionship of your family. My heart goes out to all of you for your sadness. And I hope Molly finds the biggest butterfly in heaven to chase around!
Our hearts go out to you and your family. I know it's a hard time for everyone and I'll be thinking about you! Pets are very much a part of the family!!
Oh, I'm so sorry about your sweet Molly. My thoughts are with you~ {hugs}
Fifi I am also so sorry to hear this about your sweet Molly. Kathy.
Oh, dear one! I'm so sorry about your little dog! She is beautiful! I know your heart is breaking, I've been there before, but I'll keep you in my prayers. Cherish the sweet memories you'll have of precious little Molly Madison! I know our pets become our children.
Blessings,
Shelia :(
I'm so sorry Fifi...
Wanted to wish you and your family a blessed holiday season.
Hugs to you my friend. xo
hugs to you and your family for a very sad passing...
Love & hugs to you my friend. Be kind to yourself, grieve together as a family & hold your precious memories close to your hearts.

I am so sorry to hear this news, they become such a member of the family. She was so lucky to have found a place in your hearts Fifi !!!
Molly now gets to play with my Ginger who also was a wonderful pet !!
Kathy :)
Oh noooo!! My heart hurts for you. I've had Maggie (our old lady adopted dog) for not even two years and she's part of our family. I can't imagine how your family feels having virtually grown up with Molly.
I'm thinking of you...and dear Molly. She's clearly had a wonderful life at Chez Fifi.
This broke my heart. My thoughts are with you!
So sorry to hear about this! What sweet girls!
Fifi,
I am so sorry, we had to do the same a few months ago. It is devistating.
Blessings to you...
I just ready your post about sweet Molly. I really sorry... It is really hard to lose a pet. We had 2 at one time and when our one passed away Kelly (lakeland terrier), my love and I were all in mourning. It took Kelly a couple of weeks to eat and not have accidents in the house. We were told her behavior was normal, because Buddy (welsh terrier) was the leader of the two and she followed him when he ate, drank and went outside.
Hugs... xoxo
