I hope all is well with the animals and staff at the SPCA of Western Quebec.  I just want to give you an update on Molly whom I adopted in the middle of August, 2007.  Right now she is sleeping beside me after her day in the park with our other dog Scooter.  Molly loves the wide open space at the park where she can be free to play with the other dogs.  She has always been a wonderful dog, but now she has turned into a really wonderful pet. 

Molly has been going to obedience classes where she's made new friends and has learnt some new skills.  She comes when called unless there is something that smells better then me and walks well on a leash.  Molly has learnt to go up and down stairs, travels in the car with her seat belt on, and gets along with Scooter and our cat Willow.  She doesn't seem to mind our frog Louie either, mind you they haven't seen each other much. 

Molly is really enjoying living in a home where she can retire after breeding so many puppies.  She loves her breakfast so much it's like Christmas morning for a four year old every day. 

I took Molly on her first canoe trip and she did really well in the boat.  We didn't tip as Molly fell asleep with her life jacket on. 

Molly is also a great hockey game dog.  She either sleeps, chews on a chew stick, or the odd bit of popcorn that falls to the floor as we cheer on the Sens.

Thanks so much for saving Molly and looking after her until we met.

Update April '09 ...

Molly is now 8 yrs. old and doing great.  Molly and I both love the outdoors so I included some pictures of her and I camping and snowshoeing. 
 

Molly and I are volunteers with the Ottawa Humane Society's Brightening Lives programme.  She is always eager to get there as she enjoys visiting the people in the residences as well as the other dogs.  She keeps a close eye on the kitchen staff and will always be the first one to clean up any cookie crumbs that fall on the floor.

Update March '11 ...

Molly is doing fantastic.  I love her tons and sometimes more on other days.  You know the kind when you have a wonderful dog, when she becomes part of your life and you are so very happy.  That kind. 
 
She had a great time in all of the fresh snow we had.  As soon as she gets out the door, all she wants to do is run and play in it.  We made a snow angel together.  Well, I made it and she was just the angel.  The kind with a real big halo.
 
Molly still follows me everywhere I go, can't wait to go for car rides, and sleeps real hard whenever she lies down.  I usually fall asleep to her snoring at night as she sleeps at the end of the bed on the floor.
 
Next Saturday she is going for a bath at Carol's dog groomers.  She goes there to get her nails done.  They are still real long.  I guess that is what happens after 6 years of neglect. 
 
She turned 10 just before Christmas.  We celebrated with dog treats and extra long walks.  She loves to go to Conroy Pitt.  I never worry about her with other dogs.  Even the crazy ones.  They seem to calm right down when they are around her.
