HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Today is Molly "Polly Pockets" Tuckers Birthday!!! Molly would have been TEN today!! She died March 22, 2010. Molly is a full blood Cocker Spaniel with papers. Cocker Spaniels are hunting dogs. "His desire to hunt renders him a capable gun dog; He covers territory speedily, flushing game and retrieving only when under command. He takes to water readily." And I read that the reason that they started cutting their tails off was because when they would go into the woods to hunt their tails would get caught and break. Molly was such a good dog!! I wish I could find pictures of her when she was a puppy. She chewed up countless shoes and our couch at the old house (which is the one in the gameroom) We would play "The wolif" with her. We would tell her to be a wolif and we would get her paws and her nose and she would get so mad and snap at us. We would chase her around the house until she got really mad and decided to chase us around the house snapping at us and normally we would get up getting bit. Then we would tell her to be a fluffy bunny and she would be calm and give us a hug.

Molly was soooo smart!! She could eat off a fork AND she would give hugs!! All I had to do was get in the floor and say "Give me a hug Molly" and she would come over and put her head on my shoulder and I would give her a hug!We would play the "flashlight game" I think some of you saw this game. We would turn off the lights in the house and get a flashlight and go into the hall and point it to one end and they would/will take off chasing it a barking super loud. Then you point it at the other end and they will chase it and bark! It would go on until you get tired.HAHA!! She started sleeping like this. I don't know why but I think it's funny. She's like a person!! She loved the pool and would chase "the sweaper" (the thing that cleans the pool) she would also chase you, if you were doing laps she would follow and bark until you stoped. She would get in the pool whenever she wanted to. She would just get in a swim in a small circle the get out!! It was really cute!This is one of the last pictures of the three of them together. Zoe, Thia, and Molly in the blanket. She was so skinny that we kept a blanket on her to make sure she stayed warm.

She is burried at the front of the new propery. She's facing the road and protecting us! :) She always did!

We would also play this game called "Squirrl" If we saw a squirrl outside and sometimes when we didn't ;) We would yell "SQUIRRL" and the dogs would take off running outside and bark until "They got it" then they would come inside to get a treat.

She loved tacos from Taco Bueno, homemade tacos, and anything with hamburger meat!

I was the one who came up with Molly Polly Pockets and Molls. I always called her one or the other.

Today I told Zoe (we had had Molly only six months until we got Zoe so they were together along time) That today was Mollys Birthday and her tail started wagging really fast. It was sad but sweet at the same time!

Anyway I miss her. A lot!
