Molly

 

Molly is the official barn Sheltie.  She greets everyone with a bark and then a few sniffs.  She is incredibly friendly, especially to people who give her treats.

Molly's Bio 

Molly was a rescue puppy.  She was brought into a local vet clinic at just 6 weeks old by a pet store.  She was not breathing and not eating.  The pet store couldn't pay for the surgery so they signed off on her.  The clinic did some x-rays and found she had a herniated diaphragm.  (Her stomach and her intestines were all up in her chest cavity.)  They decided to do the surgery just to see if they could save the small, underweight puppy.  Like the survivor she is, Molly came though the surgery and, within days, was gaining fans.

After one visit to the clinic to see her, Trish adopted her.  Following a few weeks of running and biting everything, Molly settled in to her role as Trish's daily companion to barns for lessons.

When F.D.C. opened in 2001, Molly moved comfortably into her role as barn dog and horse show dog.  She also makes sure that everyone keeps to the predetermined schedule.
