My Job is Done

I am so, so tired. I can barely follow Susan from one napping spot to another. Sometimes I don't even try. Then Gary says, "Where's Molly?" And Susan answers, "I thought she was with you." And they run all over the house looking for me. I would laugh my head off, but I am too tired.
I think I have finally accomplished my goal. My humans are fully trained. I get to eat whatever I want. "Oh, save a little bacon for Molly."  "No, give her a whole piece." Ice cream bowls to lick, steak from the grill, and, of course, tiny bites of cheese. I just wish I could smell the food again.
Susan has been taking me to my favorite places - The Out and Back Trail in Carlisle, the mountain bike trails in Banner, and of course our own Easter Lake.
​And all I have to do is look at the water and she says, "Sure, you can go swimming." But the hiking and swimming wear me out. I have even slept past my supper time!

I wish I had time for one more camping trip, one more trail, one more piece of bacon. But I am tired.

It has been a difficult job training these two, but my job is done. I'll wait for them in Heaven, and what hiking we will do then!

This is so beautifully written. Hard on her humans , she is now back to doing her favorite things on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

Oh Molly, I miss you too. It didn't take too long for us to get to know each other and it was always so wonderful to be around you. You were a special friend to two special people in my life. Thank you for all the joy and happiness you brought to everyone you met. I look forward to seeing you again. Love you lots!
