Molly, the Dog of the Day
Name: Molly
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Pug mix
Home: Ontario, Canada
 
   Molly had a rough start in life. She was owned by an eccentric elderly hoarder and it's during those formative times she learned to climb up high and hide things in hard-to-find places. Sadly, the lady died in their apartment and the animals, Molly and two cats, were left there with her body for an unknown amount of time. Even a year and a half later, she has some personality traits that clearly go back to this traumatic time in her life. She follows me everywhere, and is frantic when I leave, and even more frantic when I come back. If I am not feeling well, she turns into a medical professional who refuses to leave my side.

    Like her brother George the Cat, who also had a rough beginning to life, Molly is also a bit of a thief. She takes things and hides them in the strangest of places. George usually only steals bags of treats which he shares with her so they are accomplices in petty theft. She adapted well when George came to live with us and brings him toys, plays chase with him, and naps, even grooms him. She must have learned this playing with the two cats in her first home. She shows a little jealousy from time to time but George's instincts are good and he'll wander off if she is being that way.

    Mplly has never met a toy she couldn't kill in five minutes flat. She rips out squeakers from stuffed toys like she eats her kibble, fast and furious. She's always disappointed when it doesn't squeak anymore but no matter how many toys she gets, she MUST KILL THE SQUEAKER. It's Molly Law.

    She's a good little girl aside from her toy-murdering episodes, just wanting love and approval. She gets lots of that but I know she remembers her life from before and it's heartbreaking to see some of the parts of her personality that are still back in that time. She has been with me for half her life now; she was one and a half and just turned three.
