Dr. Molly is on Call

Making my rounds

Boy, you won't believe what happened to me the other day. I was making my therapy dog rounds, and I went to see a lady from church who has been very ill and can't get out anymore. Well, she is living with her daughter and son-in-law and they have seven cats. That's right seven cats!!!!!! Now I like cats, but seven cats in one house all looking at me is way to much for me. One of the cats sat on the dining room table staring at me. Well, I finally could not stand it anymore and let out a big whine. My mother wasn't too happy with me cause therapy dogs are not suppose to whine. Thank goodness the lady laughed cause it saved me from a scolding. I hope I don't have to visit there anymore. After that experience, I am not so sure I like cats. They sure are stand offish. I would have like to run and play with them.

Dr. Molly the model

I was coming out of the hospital the other day in my scrubs, after I had made my rounds, and a photographer stopped me and asked me if they could take my picture. Now being that I am such a ham, I really posed for them. What fun that was cause I got a treat. In today's mail, I got a check from the advertising agency for my pictures. I now have a modeling portfolio. Gosh it is fun to be famous. I am really getting spoiled rotten from all of the attention. I sure have all of these humans around me wrap around my little paw. They are going to be using my pictures on the Univerisity of Michigan Hopital web site. The things a girl can do when she sets her mind to it. They still spell the word dog around me cause they think I don't know that I am one. My cousin let it slip one day.

I Love Being a Therapy Dog

Molly has been nicknamed Dr. Molly by the children at the cancer center she visits. She loves the kids and they love her. Sometimes they are too sick to raise their heads, but they always have a smile for Dr. Molly. She wears her scrubs and a stethescope and makes her rounds. She was recently featured on the front page of our home town paper for her work at a local nursing home. She was sitting on the lap of a gentlemen 96 years old who was petting her and his smile was from ear to ear. She also was featured on Channel 4 T.V. out of Detroit for her work at the cancer center of the Children's Hospital at the University of Michigan. Molly is such a fun dog and our job of spreading joy to others - well it just doesn't get any better than that. Molly is very well behaved, but she is the queen. She knows exactly what she wants and how to get it. She loves to play but only on her schedule. Our laps are hers to nap on. If we disturb her, she pouts. We love her even though she has us wrapped around her little paw.
