R.I.P. Layla
Good morning, Mike. Writing to you now is the hardest thing I've ever had to do.....

We had to say goodbye to our beautiful Layla Friday night unexpectedly. Her breathing was labored and sounded painful. We rushed her to the clinic-X-rays showed her chest was full of fluid (blood from a ruptured tumor we didn’t know was there). Apparently, she had several growths in her chest that had gone undetected. …We had no choice. We are devastated. She was the light in our lives.

We hunted mice in the woods for hours every single day. I’d push over dead trees while she checked out those already down. We were a terror in the woods, averaging 8-10 mice a day. God we had fun.

Dogs have this uncanny ability to weave themselves into your heart and soul, filling in gaps that make you feel complete. When they leave, the emptiness felt is so palatable, overwhelming and raw, it’s like you can’t breathe.

As time passes, we’ll be able to talk about Layla again without bursting into tears. Right now it’s impossible to do. Carol Lupinek / East Haddam CT

R.I.P. Molly
I adopted Molly as a little pup in May 2011. I’m sad to report that Molly passed away last week after a brief illness. She was a joy from the moment she stepped off the transport in CT. I always called Molly the best dog ever and truer words were never spoken. She was funny, loving and joyful - everyone who met her loved her. Losing her has left a big hole in my heart, but I can only hope that hole will be filled in time with all the memories I have of her. I can never repay you for bringing Molly into my life.

Merry Christmas from Maggie to all of you angels at Good Dog Rescue! This will be Maggie’s 12th Christmas with us! She is doing very well. We take two walks a day, and on the weekends she has been literally jogging down the street of her own volition to see her favorite neighbors! She is still very mischievous, stealing our things for treats😀 I have her on muscle support collagen, and I think it’s helping her back legs, which can sometimes be weak. Otherwise, she is still happy, eating and drinking well, and we are just grateful for as long as we have had her. Hoping for as much time as the Lord will give to us. Love, Evan & Karen Golann and Maggie, the best dog ever. / Sunderland MA
