A brief background about our dogs. My husband Sean and I had a cocker spaniel, Bart, for the first 14 years of our marriage. Due to various health issues we had to put Bart down in 2004 at the age of 16. We decided not to get another dog right away. We have 3 kids and were traveling alot out of town to various sporting events with our kids and it would not be fair to bring a dog into the family at that time.
In 2009 Sean and I really started talking about getting another dog. Sean was working from home now and we had the time to devote to a dog. We found Molly online at Paw Print Animal Rescue in Garner, NC. We took the steps to adopt her. They say she is an English Bulldog/American Stafford mix...though we can maybe see some boxer or pit bull in her. We adopted when she was 4 months old in Feb 2009. She is AWESOME! So lovable, so much fun!
In May 2009 we decided to adopt another dog...we found Chelsea, again at Paw Prints. She is a lab/terrier mix. Turns out her birthday is a week later than Molly...so they are the same age.
After the first weekend of getting used to each other they have had a lot of fun together. We call them the "girls". Chasing each other around the yard...Chelsea is faster but Molly isn't far behind. Molly is a frisbee fanatic. She loves to run and catch the frisbee and bring it back. Really anything you throw she will bring it right back. Chelsea on the other hand will chase after the object and then run with it...we are working on her "retrieving" part...we think she is a broken lab:)
But they are awesome. We love having them. Our kids are so happy that we have dogs again!!!
