Molly (Dog)

Molly is 11 and a pure mutt. Molly was a stray wandering the streets of Rochester, New York. She was hanging out at a business my husband frequented for his job. When he asked about her, no one seemed to know where she came from or if anyone had inquired after a missing dog. They were more than happy to have someone take her off their hands.

Molly loved to climb the big box elder tree in our backyard. The first time she did it, she was following the kids. Molly never wanted to be left behind, even if it meant going up a tree. After that first time she was hooked. She would climb the tree whenever she took a notion to get a bird's eye view of things. It was always funny to see her in her "look-out" spot.

We think Molly is part retriever, as she loves to swim. She will fetch anything that's thrown, will bring it back, and drop it at your feet. Molly never had to be taught, she seemed to instinctively know what we wanted her to do.
