Kim and Jackie, Just wanted to give you an update on Molly; it's been all I can do not to call every day to tell you how much we love her! After a couple days of pacing the fence perimeter, and the house, she settled down and seems to be at home and happy. She is very affectionate (so much so that if she sees a neighbor working in the yard behind or to the side of us she whimpers until I let her out and then rushes to the fence, tail wagging, until they notice and reach over to pet her. My neighbors like her, too! (We are blessed with the best possible neighbors all around). She seems smart - she barked in response to a far neighbor's dog (I don't know these people; they live a block behind us and I can only see a bit of their back yard, where they keep a very yappy Llaso Apso (sp.?) outside all the time, poor thing) for the first few days and we told her no each time, and now she does not bark even in response. She has not had a single accident in the house, and appears to have picked one area of the yard for doing her business, which makes pooper-scooping easy. I have an appointment to have her spayed on Aug. 13 when her heat cycle should be done, and we are signed up for an obedience class (for owners, the class listing stresses!) starting in September. Molly's transition to our family has been easier than I could have dreamed and we are very thankful to you for rescuing her. It truly horrifies me that this almost-perfect dog was a day away from death and would indeed be dead, if it weren't for you. Bless you both! Oh - her very favorite thing to do is play in the hose. She loves chasing the water and having it squirted right in her mouth/face - she's hilarious and very entertaining, although it takes a good bit longer to water the plants . . .! We will send pictures later and keep you updated, but I wanted you to know that we love her and she seems to be healthy and content here. She lays at my feet as I type this - she is usually near me or the kids, following us from room to room to plop down near us, even in those times when we are not actively petting her (which are rare) - yet she has no problems being alone in the house if we are all gone - as I've said - a near perfect dog. With thanks, Buffie |
