Autumn & Lola Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hi Everyone, I just thought I'd post an update on Molly that I got from my (soon-to-be-but-not-soon-enough) ex. As many of you know, my ex (let's call him Jacka$$, or Jack for short) has had Molly since our split. Although we can't talk about anything else with any civility, we can discuss Molly in good humor, and he is always updating me about her antics. Molly turned 3 on March 5th, and March 14th marked two years since we rescued her from the shelter. She is, quite simply, a DOLL. She is extremely sweet and good natured. She loves everyone, babies, children and adults alike, as well as all dogs willing to play with her. She had her yearly check-up two weeks ago. She is in perfect health, and has gained 1/2 lb. since last year (all muscle according to "Jack"). She charmed the vet and office staff and gave kisses to everyone. At the park, she is a star. Jack walks her there nearly every night for a couple miles, and for hours on Saturday and Sundays. She has made lots of friends, both kids and dogs alike. When told to "lie down", she does so immediately and will stay as the toddlers/small children pet her (and pull her ears and tail!) Still, she seems to know to be the gentlest with the smallest children. Jack said she hasn't any bad habits or behaviors and he is always pleased as punch when so many people compliment her looks and her temperment. She does very well with her commands, Cairnness considered! Despite having to be left alone during the day for longer than either of us prefer, she has not had a single accident in the house. She willingly goes to her crate for naps, and greets her dad with unbridled enthusiasm when he comes home from work. Some days he is able to take her with him, and she runs all over the offices, greeting everyone. They all love her too. I miss her so much and am starting to tear up as I type this. I haven't seen her in 8 months. I'm sure she has changed. Jack promised me a new photo of her soon. I'll just have to be patient. I guess that is it.

Idaho Cairns Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Surely you could get Molly for a weekend? Are you close enough, geographically to pick her up and spend some time? I can't imagine how hard it would be to experience a split like that involving my dogs. Maybe Jack needs to take a vacation or just some time off?

pindrop Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 awww...I remember your story as you were going thru this. It's extremely hard when we are separated from the one good thing from that union - your Molly. Thank goodness Jack (grin) is at least kind enough to update you on her progress. I seem to recall you mentioning that you lived over 1000 miles away. Could you not fly out for a weekend and visit with her? Or would that only confuse and cause her stress to simply satisy your own need. It is a difficult situation and very hard on you being the one outside (so to speak) It's unfortunate you cannot find another Cairn to keep you company and fill your life with laughter and love once again. Thanks for the update on Molly - hang in there. Husband and dog missing ...25 cents reward for dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanford Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I remember reading about Molly before you & your ex split up. Molly is a wonderful dog and it's easy to see that you would miss her terribly. I can't recall if you mentioned previously whether or not it would be possible for you to get another dog. Nothing could replace Molly, but another cairn would definitely be the next best thing!

Dempsy's Mom Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I to remember your story and how hard it was for you to leave Molly. I am happy that she's happy and that must give you comfort. Your love for Molly is overwhelming and I am sorry that you can't share in her life more. Seems like "Jack" is doing well by her. Thank you for updating us and I hope that some day some lucky little dog will find you again. Elsie, Max, Meeko & Lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hheldorfer Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Awwww . . .sounds like Molly is growing up to be a very proper young lady. I know how much you miss her. Hugs coming your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn & Lola Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thank you everyone for the nice replies. Unfortunately, I cannot visit her. I live 1100 miles away now, and am moving 4500 miles away from here in the summer. I really don't have the extra money to fly down there for a weekend and stay in a hotel (I have no one to stay with there). Even if I did,I'm afraid it would confuse her and just make it that much harder to leave her again. Then there is the consideration that I'd have to spend time with the soon-to-be-ex, which I cannot do at this point. I might just thump him on the head and then I'd have to fight for time on the prison computers to post on this forum, and it would just be a big ol' mess. I can only hope that 'Jack' will keep me posted on her. I am glad he is taking such good care of her. I am also so happy that she has adjusted wonderfully and is growing up to be such a sweetheart. I do miss her terribly. I hope one day to get another Cairn, when I am settled. Thanks again everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanford Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I think I have some idea of how you must feel, no longer being able to have Molly in your life. As hard as it may be, I hope you'll be able take some consolation from very bright side of your situation: you have the peace of mind knowing that Molly continues to thrive and be loved and well looked after. Others in your spot don't always have that type of reassurance. I'm glad to know that there will be another cairn in your future when things are more settled for you! Wishing all the best for you.
