Molly, Molly, Molly

AKA Stinker, PeePee/Poopy Pants, Goofball and Crazy. The once small, almost perfect puppy is now taller than Maggie and nowhere close to perfection but boy do we love her. She is constant entertainment!

 

 When we moved she went from a slightly timid, potty trained puppy to a 50% potty trained, loud, energetic teenager. We have finally established that no matter how much extra space we have in the house, we go to the bathroom OUTSIDE! We are still working on the excited dribble when someone enters the house but it is slowly getting better.

Quiz: Who's Who???

Answer: Molly is on the left, Maggie on the right

From a distance Maggie and Molly still look like twins but there is no comparison in the face. We said from the beginning that Molly had more of a square muzzle and as she grows her under bite is becoming more pronounced.

After some research I am confident that she is a hound/boxer mix. When reading about the boxer breed I found the following:

"They pass gas, give wet kisses, jump up to greet you and snore too. Boxers are a very friendly and affectionate breed! They are referred to as an “in-your-face” breed. They are “shadows,” often following you from room to room...They crawl in your lap, jump up on you and love to give sloppy wet kisses."

Check, check, check that's Molly alright (minus the slobbering). And she is extremely vocal. I love it and hate it at the same time. When she lays down on the floor in front of me and makes Chewbacca like noises I can't help but laugh. On the other hand when she sees something outside or she is outside and decides she wants to come in her insistent, high-pitched barking drives me up the wall!

Maggie isn't a big fan of the barking either! 

 

For every one person she meets that likes her, there are 2 that don't but hey, you can't win over everybody. Her sad puppy dog eyes, bubbly personality and willingness to cuddle with me all-the-time beats out any of her flaws. After only 5 months she has found her place in our hearts. We can't imagine life without her!
