Happy BIrthday Molly!

You can imagine how much fun clean up is.  Lord, please let the sun come out.   Needless to say, Molly enjoys it much, much more than we do.

Well, we have made it!  We have made it through the first year.  Anyone who has owned a dog knows how many changes and phases a puppy goes through.  Whew!!  Molly celebrates her first birthday today.  That fluffy ball of fur who at just 9 weeks old melted our hearts has grown into 50+lbs of fun cuteness.  
Molly has more personality than any dog I have ever been around.  She is so animated and funny.  
Molly's had quite the perfect birthday.  Our Christmas elf Bob left her a birthday surprise this morning which tickled Lily Grace and it rained.  Rain you may be thinking, how does that make for a perfect birthday?  Well, rain makes MUD!!  That's right our cute light haired fluffy girl who graces the front of our Christmas card, can't resist it.  She loves to dig and run in it.  The minute we let her out, you can bet she is going to find some mud. (just gotta love a yard that retains water for your inside dog to take advantage of outside)  Thank goodness we have a large back yard because she makes use of every inch of it and oh yes, it's more opportunity to get a little dirty.  We never just let her do it, but she is a sneaky one.  She's quite proud of herself as you can see.  I mean come on, she posed for a picture wearing the evidence.  Oh! Miss Molly, you are a mess- literally!  Happy Birthday!
