Molly & Me

A little black dog showed up at work the other day, she had tags but there was no answer at the numbers we called. So she needed a place to stay for night. I called Brad & Korine and they decided to keep her for the night and call the vet office the next day.

It was amazing how this adorable lost dog was so well tempered and trained. She would sit on command and follow complete strangers, right at their heels. She was terribly friendly with the kids and never barked all night that B&K had her.

Korine got a hold of the owner... and the previous owner. They both asked if I wanted to keep her, poor thing! Apparently, she was found by Norway house as a young pregnant pup in poor health. Shelly took her in a nursed her back to health, but when they moved back to Steinbach, they weren't able to keep her. Which is too bad because she was their favorite dog out of 5!! She's been trying to find a home for her ever since then, but nothing has been working out.

She wanted to know if I wanted her, which of course I do, but I'm not able to keep her at my parents' place. Shelly said she wouldn't mind holding her until some time next year when I'm ready for her. And why wouldn't I want her? She's house broken, trained, spade, amiable, and adorable!!!

So, I have my name on her and I am welcome to visit her any time I want. My mind is filled with images of Sach and I taking Molly for walks and playing in the park, and sitting inside by the fire place during the depths of winter. I've wanted a dog since I was 7, after my last one ran away, but was NEVER allowed a pet since then. I'm soooo happy Sacha said we could keep her!!! I can hardly wait til next year when I can bring her home! :)
