Profile

Molly is a sweet senior girl! She has a pretty dark red coat and a cute white face. She is the happiest dog and seems to always have a wagging tail. Her favorite things in life seem to be tennis balls, getting petted, and belly rubs. Over the 36 hours I've had her she has been very reliable in the house (no accidents, chewing, etc.). She and my 9-yr old Golden girl (also named Molly so it's a little confusing!) get along fine, but once or twice they have had a quick argument over a tennis ball. But as long as there are enough balls to go around, or no balls in sight, everything is fine. They give each other their space, and all is well! I've been keeping her crated at night and she does fine. She has tested positive for heartworm, so we are attempting to keep her quiet. It hasn't been difficult so far, but you can tell she has a lot of "happy energy" and I'm sure she'll be a happy girl when she can run around a bit more. She is somewhat overweight, so she will benefit from increased activity once that is allowed. All in all, she is a sweetie. More later!!

Hi-

I wanted to let you know that I had to let Molly go on 9/16/11. She went to sleep in my arms at our vet's office.

Molly found me through RAGOM in April 2005. Molly had been abandoned and she refused to tell me just how old she was, but the vet estimated she was about 9 years old at the time I adopted her. I have to admit I had my doubts about adopting a "senior" after losing my first Golden less than a year earlier, one month short of her 10th birthday. But Molly's foster mom, Jennifer, convinced me she was the right gal for me. She was SO very right. Molly taught me many things, including how wonderful a "senior" golden can be.

I feel I was truly blessed when she came into my life 6-1/2 years ago. I couldn't have found a sweeter, happier, more loving dog if I had searched for years. She was my best buddy, and since I retired we were rarely apart. We helped each other through some tough medical issues over the years. But most of all she was just there, with her smile, day in and day out, making life brighter for me and for everyone she touched.

My deepest thanks to Jennifer, Michele, and RAGOM for getting us together. I think we were a good team and I feel so fortunate to have shared 6-1/2 years with her.

Thank you so much.

Below are 3 photos of Molly. One is her "official" RAGOM photo. I don't know who took it, but I could never improve on it. She had that same smile for 6-1/2 years. The other two are more recent.

Here are a couple photos of Molly on her weekend getaway at Lake Superior. She loved hanging out on the rocks with that cool lake breeze!
