bigugli Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 It's been like a morgue here the past week, since Peanut's passing. I needed a walking companion, and we needed some life back in our home. Even our 16 year old, Lucky, has done nothing but whine and whimper. We decided to visit a local dog rescue to give someone a fresh start at life, just as we had done for Lucky. Here is Molly. She is a 3 year old hound that is friendly if a bit skittish, but so was our other rescue dog at first. She certainly has energy. We'll just have to see if she retrieves fish. Merry Christmas Hyvaa Joulua Thank you again for all your warm thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Cliff Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) Oh Bruce, what a wonderful thing, Molly needed a special person to love her and you needed a Molly in your life. It truly is Christmas. Doesn't matter if she fishes or not, the most important thing is that you both need each other! All the very best to you and Molly my friend!

Ralph Field Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Congratulations! We have a rescued beagle from Ohio with the same colour pattern as your dog. I'm sure you won't wear her out from walking her, as they seem to be able to go forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Molly certainly settled in quick. However, it is obvious she has been abused. She cowers whenever I pick up my cane, or when you go to throw a stick for her to fetch. She'll realize soon enough that the cane is not for hurting her.

crappieperchhunter Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 or when you go to throw a stick for her to fetch. She'll come around soon enough Bruce. I know you have the gentle patience to take her fears away. However if I where YOU....instead of the stick fetching...I'd be teaching her to retrieve fishing rods thrown in the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
