In loving memory of {in-memory-name}
We gained Molly as a family member back in 2014 at the age of I think 8 months old. She came from a registered breeder in Springfield QLD. 1st night we let her stay in the bedroom with us. We had made a nice bed for her next to ours and she made herself quite comfortable, and had no worries going to sleep. At 1 point during the night I was woken up by a single bark. Molly was standing next to me, and straight away I thought she might need to go to the toilet, (as we had our bedroom door shut she couldn't get out). So I got up and opened the door, and low and behold that's exactly what she wanted. I was quite amazed she had done that, but from that moment on she would always come to my side of the bed, and let out a single bark anytime she wanted to go out, or come back in mind u. Yes I use to get the same single bark whenever she was outside and wanted to come back in. My partner would even be up in the morning and she would still come in and wake me to be let out. Was a little bit frustrating when I started working night shift though and I would sleep during the morning, but she was my girl lol. I have so many memories and so many stories I could share with all of my dogs, but I would end up writing a novel, maybe even a short series lol.Molly for some reason became very unsociable with pretty much any other animal except Tank and Axle All though Molly and Axle got into a fight one day scared the shit out of me that's for sure. She would zone completely out from everything or anyone and there was no calling her back no matter what we did. Once she was set on something that was it. Her eyes would turn completely black and she wouldn't take her eyes off whatever it was she was wanting to eat.
We sadly had to put Molly to sleep October 2024 after a cancer growth became very large and continuously bleed, which in the end she became very enimic. I unfortunately am still recovering from a house fire we had in June of 2023, we unfortunately didn't have contents insurance so we are trying to rebuild. It also took us 15 months to be approved for a new rental even with excellent history. So we could afford to pay for the surgery to have the lump removed. I was quoted $1000;just to have the blood works done, then another $3000-$5000 for th surgery. So we sadly had to say our goodbyes, and I miss her so much.
Onto Axle. Axle is the son of Molly and our other boy Tank, and yes he was my boy (Nanna's boy). He was born on August 2019 and was the 1st of 4 litters. He was the 4th born and the last one to be born alive from the first litter. We sadly lost 3. Molly's 1st litter and she pops out 7 males....yes 7 males I couldn't believe it. At the age of 2 1/2 we had gone out for about half an hour and when we came back I looked at Axle as he was walking diagonally towards me, and said "what the hell happened to u", it was like he had been hit in the head or something. He came good about 1/2 an hour later, but since that day we started to notice slight changes in Axle. He would start fights with our other boy Tank for no reason, and Tank new he shouldn't be fighting, but would always have to defend himself. Axle's eyes would also turn completely black, like Molly's would.
October 2023 I had to make the heartbreaking decision to put him to sleep after Tank and Axle got into a fight and my partner stepped in between them to stop it. Axle turned around and bit my partner on the arm, got a big taste of blood and bit down again almost snapping my partner's arm in half, and almost killed him. My partner ended up with about 50 stitches both inside and outside his arm. I didn't want it to be someone else or a child next, so as much as it tore me apart. I had to say goodbye to my boy.
The worst thing about losing both my girl and my boy....it was only 12 months apart, and all though we still have Tank who is also still trying to adjust not having the 2 of them here. Tank is my partner's boy. Even though I feed him everyday, and he has been trained to protect me, it's just not the same. Molly and Axle were both mine. I can't have children of my own so they were my kids, and now I've lost them both 😥😭
