Welcome Home, Little Miss Molly

We have a wonderful new member of our family that I've been dying for you to meet!

Say hello to little miss Molly!

Isn't she just the cutest, sweetest little baby? She's a Papillon/Chihuahua mix, known as a Chion, and they estimate her age at 3 years old. She's going to our vet on Saturday for a check up, and I'll see how old she thinks Molly is, as we suspect she may be younger. She certainly acts like a pup, that's for sure!

Let me tell you a little about how little miss Molly came into our lives!

As you know, I already have two pups - there's the Monkey, and her mom, my old girl, Lily. 

I love them with all my heart. 

But my Lily girl is getting old, she's 15 now...and she's not going to be around forever. 

Since Monkey is her daughter....who is actually named Daisy, by the way, but you all know her as the Monkey....the truth is, she's never, ever been alone. 

So, I've been looking for about a year to bring a new furbaby into our family. 

You would not believe how many pups I've tried to adopt already. 

Well, actually not pups - I wanted an adult dog, a female, and small enough for me to easily carry her up and down the stairs when she gets old and it's too much for her. 

Because let me tell you something, carrying Lily up and down this past winter when she was having a bad spell was tough....and she's not even a huge dog! 

Anyway, I found many sweet angels on various rescue and adoption sites that I was interested in bringing home to love.  Each time, I would ask for more info and fill out the application....and most times, never hear a thing back.

Ridiculous, right?

You would think they would want these sweet babies to find forever homes. 

Needless to say, it was a little disheartening. We were ready to open our home to a little angel that needed a forever home, and the staff at these agencies didn't even bother to respond to our inquiries. 

That was, until one day last week. I don't know why, because it wasn't a regular thing by any means, but last Monday, for some reason when the Adopt a Pet update came through my email, I clicked through and started scrolling through the dogs that were within the parameters of my search. 

And there was this sweet angel, looking for her forever home. 

I fell immediately in love, and requested more information. 

Of course, I didn't really expect to hear anything back. 

But, remarkably I did...within an hour I got an email from Molli at Companion Pet Rescue. 

I expected to find out that she had already been adopted. 

Nope, oh my gosh, she was still available!

I filled out the application immediately, contacted my vet to let them know the rescue organization would be calling, and said a little prayer. 

Well, my prayers were answered because just two days later I got word from Companion Pet Rescue that my application was approved....and Molly was on her way to New York from Tennessee!

And guess what....she was arriving the very next day!

I panicked a little, as I had meetings at work that I couldn't reschedule, but fortunately my daughter was available....and beyond excited....to pick up sweet Molly at the drop off point, about an hour south of our little mountain top home. 

Here's sweet little miss Molly in my daughter's car on her way home, after a very long trip. 

She was in a crate, in a huge truck, with a bunch of other pups that were also on their way up North.

They were all hoping to find their forever homes. 

Look at those big eyes. Poor sweet baby was so scared. 

But as soon as she got into my daughter's arms, she just started licking her all over. 

And my daughter burst into tears, she was so happy we could rescue this sweet baby. 

Molly must have known she was safe now, because she slept the rest of the way home. 

We set up a 'safe zone' for her in the guest bathroom, with a big pee pad, a new bed, some new toys, and a little bowl of food and water. 

Of course, she got a billion snuggles and kisses first! But she needed a safe place to go while we housebreak her, and while the other two pups get used to her. 

It didn't take her long to get used to her little bed. She arrived with a blankie from her foster mom, who rescued her from a bad situation. 

Thank you Donna, for saving this sweet baby girl. I am forever grateful to you. 

The morning after she arrived, both Molly and her blankie got a much needed bubble bath!

Remember, this poor sweet baby was in a crate all the way from Tennesee!

Well, now she's in her forever home. 

We just want to give her so much love, and make her feel safe and secure for the first time in her life. 

From what we know, this poor baby was owned by a man who left her outside in a cage day and night. 

She was never housebroken. The cage was her home. 

No human contact. No love, no cuddles. 

She's so tiny and skinny I imagine she was given limited food and water. 

I can only guess that's why she likes to eat grass and leaves. 

It might be all she had to put in her tiny belly at times. 

My heart breaks just thinking of what she's been through. 

She's safe and loved now, and I'm never letting her go. 

We'll work on the housebreaking with much patience and perseverence, and once that obstacle is crossed, there's no doubt in my mind she will be the most perfect dog.

She's so sweet and such a little lovebug. She just wants to cuddle and play and give kisses. 

And eat. I'm guessing she can't get enough food because she went hungry for so long. 

She's starting to answer to her name, and I think it really suits her. 

She's definitely not trusting of men....I've only heard her bark once, and that was at Sweetie when he came over for dinner last night. 

She'll come to love him as much as the other pups do. He's a true animal lover and spoils them to bits. 

It's heartbreaking to leave her when I'm going to work. Fortunately, I can run home midday and let them all out, and give them all a little love and a cuddle. 

Sweet little miss Molly wants nothing more than to make us happy, and to love us unconditionally. 

Her foster mom, Donna, told me she's got a heart the size of Texas in the tiniest little body. 

She was so right. 

Donna, you are forever in our hearts for rescuing this sweet angel. 

We can't thank you and Companion Pet Rescue enough for what you do to help these poor innocent little animals. They don't deserve to be mistreated. They should all be in homes where they are loved like part of the family. 

Just like my three furbabies....Lily, Daisy, and Molly. 

If you have room in your heart and home for a sweet angel of your own why don't you visit the babies that are up for adoption at Companion Pet Rescue?

You just might get lucky and find a sweet baby that steals your heart. 

Just like I did. 

 

Welcome home, little miss Molly.
