It's unbelievable how fast things can happen. My beautiful, special little girl left us today to be reunited with "Baylee", one of our past Boxers that we affectionately referred to as "Mother Hen", who was Molly's best friend until her passing a few years ago.
Today, my husband came home from work, and parked down at the garage to put his catch away, as he does every day. Molly and Abby were down there with him, as they usually go down to welcome him home each day. He got in the truck to drive up to the house, and he ran over Molly. I was at my desk and herd her yelp and went crying and screaming down there. He had picked her up and handed her to me when I got to him and she was limp...not yelping like a dog in pain, so I knew it was bad, as she was obviously not feeling pain, and was paralyzed from the neck down. We jumped in the car immediately and headed to the vet. We are an hour and a half away from the vet, so deep in my heart, I could tell we were losing her and she would die before we got there. I knew there was no hope to save her, but I wanted to have them put her to sleep so she didn't have to suffer.
I held her in my arms like a baby, talking to her, crying to her, and trying to comfort her. Telling her how sorry we were and how much we loved her. Told her it was OK to go...to go and be with Baylee again. I knew it was coming fast, as her gums were pale nearly immediately (within minutes) after it happened, then she started breathing very, very fast and then take a big breath. Then all her membranes were pale...her pads on her feet, her mouth and muzzle and they were cold too. Her tongue was white, and at the very end, I know she could not breath anymore as her little tongue was curling up trying to draw air in to breath. About a half hour from home, she breathed her last breath.
I am just so devastated...words just cannot express how I feel. I have never lost a pet like this before...we have lost them to age and sickness, but never to an accident. I am sure it crushed her ribs and punctured her lungs. At least we take comfort in the fact that she did not suffer in severe pain...the Lord spared her that by paralyzing her, thank you God.
I know Chris feels so bad and blames homself. It was not his fault. Abby and Molly were "roughousing" and I think Abby knocked her under the truck and then the back tire ran her over. There was no blood at all, thank God for that.
Rest in peace dear Molly. Please go to her webpage and look at all her photos. Her personality shines through pretty good, showing you all the "clown" she was. She was truely a special one of a kind little dog that has taken a big piece of my heart with her.
