Ransom stopped by the San Clemente Animal Shelter to visit his former caretakers, and to meet Molly. We didn't think we would get "lucky" a second time (Ransom is a fabulous dog!), but after spending some time with Molly, we decided to take her home with us!

Ransom and Molly tussled for hours in our back yard. Ransom is so submissive to Molly --- he'll roll on his back and bat at her until she jumps him! We took them to our local park, where Molly met all our neighbor dog friends. Molly is very well-mannered. She apparently was not allowed inside her former owner's home, so she didn't complain when Ransom went inside for bed and she stayed outside on the patio in her fuzzy new bed. She slept all night without a peep! (We hope to gradually move her inside; we're not sure if she's housebroken, and feel it's best to gradually give her "house privileges-" the same approach worked well for Ransom.)

We have taken Molly on several long walks, and plan on exercising her as much as possible as she is a bit chubby. We're hoping the extra walks will help our waistlines as well!

Many, many thanks to Brin and Cheryl at the shelter for all their help and assistance. We are now officially out of "dog room" at our home, but I encourage anyone looking for a pet to forgo the expensive pet stores, and go up to the shelter to find your "forever" dog. You will be amazed at the love and laughter you will receive in return!
