I am just getting back from being out of town for a few days. I'll tell you about it in my next post. Today I'd like to mark a new arrival and introduce you to Molly.
At 12 years old, she was turned over to the rescue along with another Golden named Kacee, who is 5 years old. Both girls were given up because their owner no longer had the time for them because of additional work hours, and they wanted what was best for them both. If possible, rescues will keep dogs that are bonded to one another, together. However, Molly and Kacee were not and Kacee has gone to another foster home.
Because I was out of town, Molly had to spend a couple of days in boarding where unfortunately she developed stress colitis. When I picked her up yesterday afternoon, she went right past me and to the door, letting us all know she was ready to leave!
When I got home with Molly, it was easy to see that she was nervous and unsure about what was happening to her. I wanted to give her the chance to relax and so I let the other dogs look at her from the other side of the fence.
Molly's previous owners said that she is a bit shy by nature. This meant that she wasn't very interested in the other dogs. But they are of course, very interested in her.
Of course Todd doesn't care or know anything about shyness, he really wanted to get to know the new girl.
Below is his reaction when she didn't notice him....
But Todd is right,
We are all looking forward to getting to know Molly ...
and being part of her story. Welcome to Golden Pines, Molly!
Molly looks to be in good condition, not like some who come to Golden Pines. I hope it works out and Todd will have a new friend. Pretty girl!
ReplyDeletePoor Molly must be so confused but little does she know how lucky she is to land at Golden Pines.
ReplyDeleteOh my . . . you two are the best . . .
ReplyDeleteHappy Molly is with you.
Todd is such a trip ... Look at him...
That picture made me laugh right out loud.
Happy days with your forever growing family!
Welcome Molly. Hope she soon feels a little less shy. She is a lucky girl to have found a loving caring home with you and your dogs. Nose licks and love from Moth xx
ReplyDeleteThat's it, Todd. If a female doesn't notice you, show off your junk.
ReplyDeleteI could never let my seniors go, I'd have to change jobs so I could work from home!
ReplyDeleteBut at least the previous owners tried to do was best for the dogs.
That is a wonderful thing you are doing. We have had our senior rescue Abby for three years this month. The Vet was unsure of her age - she's anywhere from 8-11 years old now but in good health after being dumped as a former puppy mill dog heartworm positive at a high kill shelter. To see her adapt to being inside and warm and loved has been such a healing balm after we suddenly lost Barkley to cancer. Thank you for what you do.
ReplyDeleteAnother one to love and cherish, I hope Molly fits in with her new family, if only they could talk, but eyes, tail and body language say so much. She looks happy, a beautiful coat, and sparkly eyes, a good beginning . This relocation would have been so hard for her other family, but they must surely have huge love and care to do this. I am sure their home will be very quiet now.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful girl ! So glad she's found her way to you, Kim. She looks happy, and seems to know that she's really landed on her paws. I wonder what she made of Todd's welcome?
ReplyDeleteWe detect a big smile on Molly's pretty face, so we think it is just a matter of time before she is much more social. Thanks for giving her a great place to stay.

Molly looks like a darling. Todd, what a way to get attention. You look like a toddler throwing a tantrum. But then dogs are like toddlers and they have been known to throw tantrums, so I guess all is normal.
ReplyDeleteYes, welcome Molly! You've landed on your feet there. We know you'll be mixing with the bunch soon.
ReplyDeleteI can almost hear Todd yelling "Hey there little Lassie!" Seems someone is in love.
ReplyDeleteOh Molly is lovely and Todd what a nut lol Miggs does what Todd does when no one is paying attention to them roll about and groan n grumble lol ! Hope all works out well with Molly and the clan . Lovely photos , Thanks for sharing , Have a good week !
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty girl Molly is. I hope she gets over her trauma quickly and adjusts to her new life at wonderful Golden Pines. She will soon find out that she is surounded by love and life will get better.
ReplyDeleteMolly looks like a wonderful girl. I am sure the other dogs will help her adjust.
ReplyDeleteGod bless all!
Oh Molly! you have found a wonderful place, a place where you will be loved and given the chance to adjust to your new life

ReplyDeletekismet's comment made me laugh right out loud. LOLOL!

Welcome, Molly! She's very beautiful. I hope she quickly feels very much at home.
ReplyDeleteMolly looks like she is a sensitive and loving soul. You do such wonderful things for so many senior dogs... thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet girl. The pack will help her overcome her shyness. And you knnow all the right tings to do to help all of them.
ReplyDeleteOh sweet girl. Hopefully she will understand quickly she is in a safe and loving place.
ReplyDeleteLucky dog. She looks sweet.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Molly!
ReplyDeleteYou landed in the Honey Pot sweetie, welcome to your happily ever after.
ReplyDeleteMolly reminds me of our first golden. Sweet, little sugar face!
ReplyDeleteHoping all is behind you with Todd's incident. I'm glad the person wasn't injured any more than she was, but sorry you had to go through the scrutiny.
Surely, Molly will notice Todd with his antics!
Take care.
