Molly and Lily

Our dog Molly puts up with a lot!

For starters, we make her live in Minnesota.  And we don't even bring her with us on spring break.  It's a long winter for Molly!  But don't let this picture fool you...she loves the snow, doesn't seem to mind the cold and would rather be outside than inside most of the time!
Maybe that is because when she is inside, she has to sit on her mat.
She doesn't really want to sit on her mat...
she'd rather terrorize the cat, chew socks and shed profusely all over my entire house.
Which is why she has to sit on the mat.

Sometimes we take pity on her and let her try to sleep with Timmy...
but she is so obnoxious that it has never lasted more than 15 minutes...
...back to the mat!
I don't know what she has to complain about though...
we always have her best interests at heart...
...Lily is happy to share her hair accessories...


...but Molly just doesn't seem to appreciate fashion...


....unless it's chewable fashion...


"Can you believe what I put up with?"


"HELP me!  Rescue me!  Here comes Lily again to play...


...DOCTOR!!!"


Every thing gets examined!

Molly looks so patient in this picture.

She's not really.


But attention IS attention...


There's something to be said for attention...
which is something Molly has an insatiable need for...


But still...some kinds of attention are preferable to others...
..and...

... reindeer antlers transplant is way down on Molly's list!


"Smile for the camera Molly!"

"I'll smile alright!  I could ....

No worries...Molly was just trying to see if she could reach the antlers with her teeth.
She couldn't.

So she just resigned herself to Lily's will.
Lily gets that a lot.
Alpha child.

A frequent topic of conversation for Lily is whether Molly is her big sister or  her little sister.  It makes her burst into tears that Molly advances seven years at every birthday while Lily only gets to add one.  So Lily takes every opportunity to boss Molly around.  Just to show her who's boss.  Better Molly than the rest of us!
