A little about me, Molly

I am afraid of grates.

You know, those things that you see on the street that have water below them. I am so afraid of them! I don't know why, but it's just one of my phobias that I've always had. I will not walk within 5 feet of them. Max thinks it's funny and sometimes he laughs at me. Once we where on this walk at a place where you go skiing and on the path there was this one long drain that covered the entire path. I was so scared. I tried to stay calm and not show my anxiety, but when my whole family crossed over it and obviously forgot about my fear I panicked. I barked so that they would know that I was too afraid to follow them. They thought it was kind of funny in an odd way that I was so afraid of it. I didn't think it was funny at all and I really want to get over to the other side of it. "C'mon Molly just walk over it, it's only about a foot wide." And it was but I was still afraid. After about 5 minutes of my family jumping back and forth over and over the drain, my mom eventually had to pick me up and carry me over. I was so embarrassed, but once I got to the other side I was relieved. It's not fair because you think that I could just jump over it since I'm such a good jumper, but I'm just so afraid.

I am a small poodle. I only weigh 45 pounds. I'm small for a standard and too big for a miniature. I'm still a standard but just not as big as others. You may think that poodles are snooty. Not me! I am not one bit snooty and I will get very angry if you tell me I am. You also may think that poodles are boring or lazy and too spoiled. I must admidt that I am spoiled but not as much as I could be. I am a great athlete! I swim, I am an excellent jumper, and I love to run! I am super speedy! I even caught a squirrel once. It didn't go too well though. I didn't know what to do once I caught up to him. We ended up rolling on top of each other but he got away. If I could I would play fetch until I died. I love it soooo much and I never get tired. My eyesight isn't all that great any more so sometimes I have trouble finding the ball. But always always always I eventually find it because my nose is so good. I like people food and will take anything you give me to eat. Shhhhh, don't tell anyone but chocolate is my favorite food. I've only had it a couple times and I ended up getting my owners very angry and worried about me. They said it's really really bad for a dog to have chocolate. No wonder why that last time it was wrapped up so tightly in that box. I'm begining to think they've learned their lesson with keeping it under the christmas tree. Eventhough it tasted so good, it sure made my belly hurt afterwards. And then there was that time I had that French pastry....that's a whole other story...
