Our yellow Lab’s name is Molly. As you can guess, we see yellow Labs everywhere. Anytime we see one, at least one of the kids (or two or three) will say, “Look! There’s a Molly-dog!”. That’s just how much Molly is a part of our family. She is everyone’s favorite dog in public. She has wonderful manners and puts on her girl-next-door charm everytime we go out.
At home, Molly can be a little less lady-like. In fact, her favorite toy is something as un-lady-like as possible: a football.
Molly plays with her football all the time. She carries it around, taunts her sister with it, practically begs her to chase her.
She even sleeps with it if she can sneak it past us at night (and she uses it as a pillow).
I really don’t know what we will do if the football ever goes to football heaven. Probably buy her a new one.
For now, she is just happy to have a place where she doesn’t have to pretend she’s a girly-girl all the time.
