Test 2

This is Molly

Long story short:

For a couple of years my family has wanted to adopt a dog. The Wife and I had a loving chocolate lab named Bailey back in the early 2000s (prior to children). Once The Boy was born, we had to give her up to another family that had the time and energy to give her the attention that she deserved. It was hard for us, but it was the right call.

The Kids, getting ready to take Molly to her forever home

Since then, we haven't had a family dog. We adopted and socialized a feral cat a few years ago - and he's been the family pet since then. BUT, cats are far less "needy" than dogs and my concern was that if we adopted a dog the kids wouldn't be mature enough to help out.

   

Enter: Molly. She's a one-year-old Border Collie-Terrier mix that was abandoned in Georgia. She's so mild-mannered and chill that I think she'll fit in with our family quite well.

So begins our Grand Experiment. Will the kids walk Molly regularly? Will they pick up her poo (without complaining)? Time will tell. What I do know is that this pup is FULL of love and affection.

More to come...

Meeting Molly at her foster home

Oh, and if you're in central Pennsylvania (or relatively close) and you're interested in adopting, we worked with PA Caring for K-9s (and on Facebook). The process was super-smooth and pleasant, and the folks (read: volunteers) are so kind and accommodating. We highly recommend their services.
