Mollie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Mollie
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Female Breed: Yorkshire Terrier
Home: Eden Prairie, Minnesota, USA
 
   Two years ago, the vet told our family that Mollie was now to be considered a "senior" dog. But you'd never guess she was older than a puppy if you met her. Her energetic spirit hasn't slipped a notch since we picked her up from the breeder as a baby. Her favorite hobbies include chasing bunnies and squirrels outside, sleeping in the sun, watching movies with the girls on the couch, taking family road trips and going on walks. Her favorite snacks are eggs and carrots. She's a cuddler and when she's really content she sticks out her tongue slightly, as Yorkies are known to do. She has some neighborhood friends, including a "big dog" named Lucy that lives next door. She has a handful of nicknames from our crazy family including Mollie Mouse, Mita (Ita) Wee Wee, Vivala Visa, Benatonie and Fi-Fi. She also recognizes over 40 words and understands four simple sentences. Mollie has brought an incredible amount of joy to our family and is the true 6th member of our clan!
