Molly Defines "Puppy" and Family

At a year and a half old, Molly hasn't grown out of the playful puppy stage. In fact, I'm not sure she ever will. She likes to run and play, roll around in anything she can find, and generally create havoc, and we love her all the more for it. However, this is also the reason that Molly didn't have her tags on her when she got out Monday night. 

As a playful pup, she somehow managed to get the metal tag off of her blue collar a few nights before my parents left town. We noticed that the tag was missing, but never imagined it going this far. Normally, when a family pet gets lost, all we can pray is that they'll be found and be safe. It's hard to wrap ones mind around the idea that Molly has been found, but as a family we're still missing her.

We've had Molly since the day she was born, literally. My brother-in-law, Chad Krause, has Molly's Dad and brother, and is who bred all of the puppies. My cousin has Molly's brother. & a dear friend has yet another of Molly's siblings. Her blood relatives, however, are small in comparison to the bond she's made with Roxie and Martini. Roxie and Martini are Molly's "sisters" and they couldn't be closer. From playing in the pool and wrestling down the hill to chasing tennis balls and running at the speed of light, they are truly inseparable (& Martini is only a 10lb dog - Molly is gentle, too!). Molly even has standing play-dates with a friends dog named Kirby.

As anyone who has ever owned a dog knows, our pets become our family. They are cared and loved for as much as any member of the family. We are willing to do what it takes to get our family back together.

We've watched Molly grown up and have been there all the way. We've even cleaned up her messes, as the picture below shows.

We love Molly, and we want her back with our family, her family. All we can hope right now is that our missing then found yet still being missed dog is returned home to us. 

Please keep sharing, and get the word around town! Somehow, someway, this has to reach the adopters. We love and miss Molly more than you know.
