By golly, its Molly!

We recently added a new addition to the family - a beautiful, sweet Labrador named Molly. She is an adult dog, about 7 or 8 (we'll know for sure once we take her to the vet later this week), and we did have some concerns about adopting an older dog, but the benefits have outweighed our concerns. We wanted a dog that was already trained, active but not hyper, and well behaved and affectionate with the boys.

Molly came from a home with three small children, and she is absolutely wonderful with the boys. She is gentle, but playful, and her maturity allows her some calm moments among her active ones. Her tail is always wagging, and her favorite place to be is about a foot or less from wherever I am (or sitting under the table while the boys eat). She really brings back memories of the Lab I had when I grew up, named Lindsay. She would follow my mom around closely all the time, and now its my turn to experience the same!

She weighs about 75 pounds, but is short and stocky, with paws that remind us of a bear - its definitely a good thing she's so careful with the kids!

Molly is so much fun! We're thankful and glad to have her here with us!







When we went to pick Molly up, Joel was afraid of her and wouldn't come out of the car. After 3 days she has won his heart and confidence! He tells me all the time "I yuv Molly" :-)
