My husband and I found Molly, at about 8 weeks old, cowering in the back of a kennel cage. She was the only female in a litter of 13 pups. We had almost given up finding a female until I lifted her up to look at the white patch on her chest and discovered girl parts beneath. She's grown into such a beautiful, intelligent, mixed breed collie princess. About a year and a half after Molly came to us, we took in Sam, a handsome, blond cocker spaniel, from a family that worried he'd bite their new baby because he was a nipper. When we got him, we discovered through vet records that, at only eight months, he'd already been passed from family to family to family and had developed abandonment issues. We've managed to love him into feeling safe enough not to nip at people anymore, but he still howls whenever we've left the house and he hears the car start. Molly's there for him, though, and she'll join in his howl, adding a bass harmony until he can relax and fall asleep to wait for our return.
