The Home Stretch

Molly and I are both really staggering down the home stretch. Me with my foot and Molly with her health issues that come with being a "mature" dog (she hates the term "old" dog. In fact, she hates the term dog, too). It seems that every day presents new obstacles and every day, Molly and I have to fight through the pain and I cannot think of "anyone" else I would rather have by my side. She has been here for 13 1/2 years now and it saddens me to think that she won't be here much longer. My foot surgery has been a blessing because now I get to spend most of my day with Molly.
