When good things happen to good dogs

When Gretchen's Mom, Char, passed away a few years ago, one of the things she was most worried about was finding a new home for her dog, Molly. Luckily Molly found a great home, although last year we found out that the family that adopted her was concerned about not being able to give her enough time and attention.

Fast forward to this summer. One of Char's best friends, Carolyn, who knew Molly well and is a dog lover, sent Gretchen a note saying that she was reading about "rehoming" of dogs through the local Humane Society and came across a dog that sounded really familiar...yes, it was Molly. The family that adopted her had decided they just couldn't give her the time she needed, but didn't want to give her up without finding her a good home. At the time Char passed away Molly would have been too much for Carolyn to handle, but by this summer she was ready for her own dog to have a canine companion. They met Carolyn, and so it came to be that (perhaps with a boost from above by Char?) Molly is now very happily living with one of Char's best friends. Gretchen has always seen Molly as a real link to the memory of her Mom, and now she gets regular updates on how she is doing and can visit her the next time she's back in Wisconsin.
