Hey guys!

What is one of Molly's best qualities you ask? Okay, you didn't ask, but we're gonna tell you anyway...Molly is great at communicating her needs!

While Molly is generally a quiet girl outside of barking at the squirrels that trespass on her lawn (even though they were here first) and sometimes crying when left alone, she will communicate her needs vocally only if her quiet subtle hints aren't getting your attention...

For example, If she needs to go outside off schedule, she will pace between you and the door to get your attention, but if that doesn't work, she will walk to the door and give a short bark or sit in front of you and give a short but loud whine.

If she gets her toy stuck somewhere she knows she isn't supposed to go, she will look back and forth between you and her toy and then give a short bark if you aren't getting the message 😂

Occasionally she will also alert bark at people walking by, but once we tell her it's okay, she settles down fairly quickly.

She is such a smart girl!

Hey guys!

So happy Molly girl is a snow dog! She is loving it outside!!!

When she got upstairs this morning, she ran to the back door and her whole body started wiggling when she saw all the snow ❄️❄️❄️

She won't stay still long enough for pictures, she's too busy romping around and jumping in the giant piles of snow, so I had to bribe her for this picture 😂😂

Hey guys!

Once again we found a couple forgotten waffles in the back of the freezer. I guess our loss is Molly's gain lol.

She was HIGHLY impressed with her new treat! Then again, who doesn't like waffles?!

Hey guys!

Merry Christmas from our pack to yours!!🎄🎅

Miss Molly had her own gifts waiting under the tree from her foster grandma. She got a hoodie and a waterproof winter jacket. She's not spoiled at all 😂

We hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas!

Hey guys!

I remember back when we had Skuffy thinking, "I can't believe we're buying clothes for a dog"...and here we are roughly 4 years later, and we just got our second dog coat, and picked out two sweaters for miss Molly. Oh how things change 😂😂

Molly definitely doesn't like the snow as much as Tank or Skuffy did, but she's not opposed to it either, as long as she's bundled up! ❄️

This morning she kept shoving her nose in the snow polar bear style, it was adorable!

Hey guys!

Happy belated Thanksgiving 🍂🍁

We were too busy yesterday cooking and putting up all of our Christmas trees and decorations to remember to take a Thanksgiving photo until like 8:00 last night. Better late than never I guess lol.

Molly had a wonderful Thanksgiving; she got to meet her great grandparents who gave her tons of attention, she helped us with the Christmas decorations, and she got her own mini plate of dog safe Thanksgiving food.

Molly says overall, despite the Autumn bandana, she gives Thanksgiving with us a 10/10 🥰

Hey guys!

As of today, we've been fostering for 6 years.

6 years of fur covering every surface of our home. 6 years of emergency vet visits, surgeries, and check-ups. 6 years of cuddles and kisses and unconditional love. 6 years of stepping on nyla bones, ripped up stuffies littering the floor, and biscuit crumbs everywhere. 6 years of smiles and tears, of happy moments and frustrated breakdowns. 6 years of hellos, see you laters, and goodbyes. 6 years, 20 fosters, endless memories, and each one will forever hold a place in our hearts ❤️❤️

This past year brought us another wonderful year and one very hard goodbye with our sweet old man Tank. And of course, we got to bring home our newest foster, Molly.

Let's see what fosters year 7 will bring.

Hey guys!

Progress isn't always linear - I've said it before, and I'm saying it again.

Last week, Molly had 3 days where she didn't make a peep when she had to be left alone. 3 DAYS - WOO HOO!

That was a first for her, and we were so excited! And each day when we came to get her we gave her tons of praise and love and told her how proud we were.

This week, she's started crying right away every single day.

And THAT is the reality of separation anxiety. Some days they're going to be fine and other days they're going to be anxious. Sometimes enough time and a solid routine can change that, and sometimes it simply can't.

The thing is, no matter how much progress Molly may make with us, it doesn't guarantee that that progress will transfer to her Forever Home. It very well might, our former foster Merry transitioned into her Forever Home like she had no idea what separation anxiety even was anymore. But it might not, our kiddo Skeeter still had days where he would cry and howl when he had to be left alone even after almost two years with us.

Molly is trying her best and that's all we can ask of her! And honestly, she's doing a great job!

Hey guys!

As I've mentioned, Molly can be picky about what she eats; part of it is her anxiety, but part of it is purely her princess personality 🤣

So far treats-wise we've found she likes Milk bones, Beggin Strips, and Fruitables!

We had a leftover bag of Fruitables Apple & Crispy Bacon flavor when we first brought her home, and she loved them!

We try to only give her treats as rewards since she is chubby and needs to lose a little weight, so that initial bag lasted quite a while, but we finally ran out, and because she liked them so much, we had to order her more.

I got lucky and found a 6 pack on Amazon so she gets to try each flavor now!

We started off with Pumpkin Blueberry and she LOVED them 😁

Hey guys!

Sometimes in the chaos of every day life, we take for granted the special little things our dogs do. The little ways they show us their intelligence, their love, their loyalty; all the small things they do simply because they know it makes us happy.

Over the last couple of months, Molly has shown us what a special girl she is and reminded us how important it is to take a second and appreciate the little gestures of love that surround you every day...

The way after finishing her meal and eating her Cosequin, Molly will sit somewhere close and quietly wait for me to notice her; to check her bowl and tell her what a good girl she is for eating every last bite, and give her her "dessert"

The way I can be abosorbed in whatever I'm doing and getting more frustrated by the second, and Molly is there, gently pushing her head into my leg, staring up at me, as if to say, "it's okay mom, just breathe".

The way she will give you a hug (she has 3 different kinds of hugs she gives) when she can tell that you want or need one, and she will stay as long as you want her to.

Whether Molly's gentle and sweet temperament comes naturally or from the love and nurturing of her former parents, she shows us every day nothing but love and a gentle calm energy. Her Forever Family, wherever they may be, will be so incredibly lucky to call her a part of their family.

Hey guys!

Something we've learned over the years when it comes to dogs with anxiety, is that they thrive on routine!

Personally we believe all dogs thrive on routine, but anyway...

As someone who has anxiety, I can tell you that knowing what to expect throughout the day means generally feeling less anxious. And it's the same for dogs, when they know what to expect and what's expected of them, it eases their anxiety. Now obviously there's also a downside to this; when your routine changes, it can cause a spike in your dogs anxiety. But personally we feel it's better to have occasional anxiety spikes rather than constant anxiety.

There is no magic pill or special cure for a dogs anxiety (or anxiety in general if we're being totally honest). Just like in people, sometimes medications help and sometimes they don't. The best thing you can do is consistently work with your dog and make sure that you're doing whatever you can, within reason, to help them cope with their anxiety. And what that is will look different for each dog.

We have created a routine for Molly, and although she still gets loud, we are making small slow progress. Her whining and howling when left alone is lasting less time than it used to, and every once in a while, though rare, she will decide to stay quiet all together.

Progress is progress, no matter how small, and we are proud of our girl ❤️❤️

Hey guys!

Happy Halloween🎃👻🎃

We hope everyone has a safe and spooky night!

Molly wasn't a fan of sharing her spotlight with Jack the JackOLantern, so this is the best shot we could get lol.

if your pups (or kitties) are dressed up for the occasion, drop a photo in the comments, we'd love to see everyone's costumes! 🎃

Hey guys!

Look how cute Molly is in her mummy jammies 🎃

They don't quite fit her correctly (they were bought for a previous foster) so she didn't stay in them for long but she stuck it out long enough for us to get some pictures 🙃

Obviously you can't tell in the picture, but the eyes peeking out between the bandages glow in the dark!

Do you dress your pups up for Halloween? If so, what will they be dressed as this year?

Hey guys!

Molly says "I give you paw, you give me treat, right?"

Before we brought Molly home, we were told that she wasn't treat motivated, but it seems that's not quite it...

She's not big on taking treats when she's anxious or nervous...okay, she'll flat out refuse treats BUT when she's comfortable she will do whatever you want for that treat lol.

She knows;
- Sit
- Shake/Paw (she will respond to both, and she will give you both paws. If she gives me one I can then ask for the other and she will switch)
- Lay Down
- Stay
And she's also catching onto Leave It.

Of course just like her food she's picky about what treats she likes, but she definitely has some favorites!

Hey guys!

Over the last almost 6 years we've caught some hell here and there over how blunt we are about the dogs in our care, so we wanted to quickly address the issue...

We are now, always have been, and always will be, completely transparent about our fosters. We will always share the good, the bad, and the ugly, without exception.

- Undesirable behaviors? Sharing those up front!
- Weird quirks? Sharing them right away!
- Medical condition requiring expensive medication or frequent vet appointments for the remainder of their life? Bringing it up asap!
- Bite History? You better believe we are sharing that from the start!

Now a lot of people will say being so transparent up front is a no-no because for a lot of people, reading a bio about a dog that mentions separation anxiety or bite history or resource guarding behaviors or medical issues is going to scare people off...and while they're not wrong, that's kind of our point...

We aren't trying to scare people off, BUT that's the thing, the RIGHT people, the people who are meant for that dog with the undesirable behavior or the medical issue, they aren't going to be scared off by those things.

I'll use our former foster Merry as a prime example...Merry had separation anxiety. Not only did she whine and cry and howl when left alone, but for her first few months with us she would also make messes when left alone. (I'm talking laundry and bathtime sometimes 2 and 3 times a day and tons of carpet cleaner!) We had a handful of people inquire about Merry, BUT her separation anxiety issues weren't laid out in full in her bio, so once we gave them the complete run-down, every single one of them quickly changed their minds. Until Becky.

Becky knew all the dirty details (quite literally 🤣) of Merrys separation anxiety...and she wanted her anyway. Merrys issues didn't scare Becky off because Becky was who Merry had been waiting for all along.

So we make no apologies for how blunt we are about our fosters. We make no apologies for our transparency. And we make no apologies that we are adamant that potential adopters completely understand all that comes with each foster we take in.

We aren't here to make anyone happy, we're here to advocate for our fosters. We're here to make sure THEY are happy and healthy and in the RIGHT home.
