Time

The other day I had to face the harsh reality of being a pet owner and that was Molly's mortality. Molly's life is quickly drawing to a close and I was never more painfully aware of that fact than the other morning. When Molly woke up that morning, she had lost control of her back legs and could not maintain her balance. I was scared for her and I was also selfishly scared for myself. I knew I had to get her the help she needed but I also knew that I may not get the answer I want. I had her checked out and the decision was up to me. I decided to give Molly time. I owe her so much more than that but unless her suffering was too great, I wanted to give her some time. I am glad to say she is much better and seems to have cleared this hurdle. I realize that I need to do what is in Molly's best interests and in that vein, I cannot be selfish.
