I never thought I'd be posting on this board again so soon 
I just got back from the vet's office with Molly. I had to have her put down 
I'm a blubbering mess right now but I want to honor her and I'm hoping getting it all out will help me feel a little better.
As many of you know, there hasn't been a dull moment since the day I brought her home. In the beginning, she was nervous, high strung, and very bitey. Who could blame her, after spending 5 years of her life being cared for by people who couldn't even take the time to figure out her real age (they thought she was 1), being given horrible food, and shuffled around from home to home. But once Molly figured out that we were good people and loved her, she turned into one of the sweetest girls you could ever meet. She loved to follow me around from room to room, and when I sat down she would put her paws on my legs and look up for a kiss <3 And she was so sweet to Dexter and Zoey- she was the matriarch of the bunch and would follow them around, keeping a close eye on them.
In the end, she was so brave. She started having tummy upsets and nausea, and she couldn't play with the others anymore like she used to. We treated her for bacteria, insulinoma, IBD, and everything else we could think of, but she had been strong for too long. The medicine wasn't working. She lost interest in eating and drinking and just wanted to sleep all day. When she was awake she ground her teeth constantly and couldn't stay steady on her feet. It was the hardest decision I've ever had to make, but I didn't want her to have to suffer anymore. When I tried to hand feed her this morning and she wouldn't even lick food or water off of my fingers, I knew it was time
I'm so sorry I couldn't help you, Molly. I did my best, and tried everything I could, but I still feel like I failed you. I would have kept pushing for an answer, but I could tell you were tired of fighting and ready to rest. Just know that I loved you so intensely, sweet girl, and I'm hurting right now like I knew you your whole life and not just two months of it. You are so incredibly missed, and always will be, dear Molly.

She was so thankful to be taken out of the situation she was in! Don't ever forget that you saved her from a terrible life of being given little attention! 
she was lucky to have found you
