Molly is 3!!!

Dear Karen-

So much to tell you about! Molly turned 3 the end of July and we celebrated her birthday to the hilt! She had an awesome day and we just had to share her day with you - as if you hadn't rescued her, we wouldn't have her today...She brings constant joy to our lives...

We started with puppy invitations to all her "doggy friends".. We made doggy biscuits and I have some great recipes to share with everyone...We decorated the table with "doggy stuff" and made "doggy treat bags for all Molly's guests"... Below are some recipes for homemade puppy biscuits!

Molly had "playdates" with all her "best doggy buds" on her birthday.
Nova, Monroe, Carma, Maude, & Woofer.

Molly also had playdates with her favorite people: Bev, Travis, Mom, & Dad.

Of course, there were birthday cupcakes, each decorated with a puppy pick! Of course, Molly had one cupcake and just a little ice cream for dessert...

Of course, there were gifts...Molly loves opening her own presents for every occasion...

Molly's supper was "Gracie's Gourmet". At $3.79 a meal, they are for special occasions only, but Molly wolfed that dinner down like it was her last...And they are super healthy...

Her big treat was her "smoked Stittsworth's bone", which Molly gets when she has been a very good girl...

Molly ended her birthday in the "big bed" between her two favorite people, Mom & Dad...She had "doggy" playdates, she played ball, she went swimming, she had treats, she had presents, she had an awesome dinner, she had dessert, she had a big bone, and she had love and attention all day long. Not unlike most days of Molly's life...

Since we rescued Molly (or, Molly rescued us) she has filled our lives with joy and love. She is definitely spoiled, but in a good way; with lots of love, attention, & praise. Molly is not chained in the yard, she is free to roam not one, but two fenced yards. She runs free in the house while we are at work, she sleeps in comfort with pillows, blankets, heat, or air conditioning.. She is not kenneled, she is not tied, she is free of everything that happened to her before she came to us. Molly doesn't have to worry about her safety; she worries about ours...She never goes to bed hungry, hurt, or afraid of what might happen to her next. She is "our baby" and she brings so much joy to our household every single day...

So to everyone that has ever fostered or adopted a "rescue", our hats are off to you. They are not the easiest animals to acclimate to society, but with enough love, anything is possible. Our Molly has changed our lives....And we feel it is an honor and a privilege to have changed hers.

Keep up the great work, Karen!
