Hello World!

Hello! My name is Molly and this is my first ever blog. My mom set it up for me because she spent a lot of time on this website:

Vick Dog Blog

and said that she was...inspired, I guess.

Well, I'm not a Michael Vick dog. I've never been in a dog fight and never saw the inside of a kennel. I've been with my mom for almost 5 years now. She tells me I'm lucky because only 1 in 600 dogs like me find permanent homes! She rescued me from an animal shelter called the Animal Rescue League. I was only a puppy, nine months old. They picked me up in a big van as a stray dog wandering the streets of Pittsburgh and took me to the shelter where I finally had meals and a bed and lots of people to try and lick. I don't remember much from that time at the shelter because I was only there a week. (thank goodness!) I just remember that I was HUNGRY and there were a lot of dogs barking at me, which I did not like too much.

My mom came in and I have to admit, it wasn't quite an instant decision. (silly lady.) She was a little unsure of bringing home one of us "pit bulls" to her parents' house and even though I'm obviously the cutest thing ever, she needed time to think. She brought her family's two other dogs (both mutts) in to meet me and another pup in the running. Well, when I got into the meeting room I licked both of those other dogs and then I crawled right up on her lap. I guess that was enough for her--she picked me! I didn't get to go home that day because I had to have surgery, but I went home a few days later and my mom and her mom and dad could not stop paying attention to me--exactly what I wanted.
