If you have ever adopted a new puppy, you know it is almost as hard as bringing home a new human baby. \u00a0 I decided I could raise another puppy. \u00a0Friday we picked up our new baby and brought her home. \u00a0I thought maybe I had bitten off more than I could chew. \u00a0 Just like a human baby you have to keep her fed and watered, \u00a0clean up her messes and make sure she doesn’t hurt herself. \u00a0 And give her lots and lots of love.<\/p>\n

Meet Molly Marshmallow. \u00a0She is one part registered Boxer and one part registered Lab and so adorable. \u00a0She is also very energetic. \u00a0We named her Molly just because I like the name and Marshmallow because that is what the children who owned her had named her. \u00a0She is like a little squishy marshmallow.<\/p>\n

We got Molly from this young lady. \u00a0She ran around with my daughter in high school and was in the youth group at church. \u00a0Now she is grown up and has four kids and had eight puppies until we took Molly. \u00a0 It was nice seeing her again. \u00a0I hadn’t seen her in years. \u00a0She advertised her puppies on Facebook and that is how we got connected. \u00a0I’m so glad we did.<\/p>\n

Here’s Bonnie and her new baby.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9132\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Molly thinks Bonnie is her mother. \u00a0She keeps trying to suckle on her. \u00a0Poor Bonnie.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9130\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Any part of Bonnie that Molly can chew, she will chew.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9141\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She especially likes Bonnie’s tail. \u00a0Sometimes she is holding on to her tail when Bonnie decides to walk off and she just hangs \u00a0on it. \u00a0So funny.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9159\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know what she is trying to do here. \u00a0She tries to go under things where she doesn’t fit or go over things that are too high for her.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9162\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“I’m still your favorite, right?’<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9144\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I go into my shop to cut quilt pieces and Molly lays here.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9147\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Right between my feet.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9148\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By the way, I’m working on this quilt. \u00a0I am using pastels in it however.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9149\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s called “Pressed Flowers.” \u00a0Most of the fabrics I am using are floral.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9163\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Back to Molly and Belle. Belle isn’t quite sure what to think about this new creature that has come into her life. \u00a0I think she is deciding she will be fun to play with. \u00a0 Molly jumps at her and barks and Belle barks back. \u00a0Belle isn’t use to Molly ignoring her and tries continuously to get her attention.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9123\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When Belle and Molly are side by side, they look alike. \u00a0Both have their bright pink collars on. \u00a0Molly still isn’t sure she likes hers.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9126\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don’t they look like mother and daughter?<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9118\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I know this sweet little puppy won’t stay little long. \u00a0Just like human babies. \u00a0So I will enjoy her puppyhood.<\/p>\n

Here’s to puppies and the joy they bring. \u00a0Bye.<\/p>\n
