I’d like to introduce you to Molly 13-215. Molly is an 8-10 year old PB Golden, she weighs about 70 lbs and she is in good health. Molly was pulled from a home where there were too many things, too many people and some drug activity. Not much is known about her pre-RAGOM life. She is a sweet girl who soaks up all the attention we can give her! She absolutely loves all people we encounter. She thinks kids are the best!! She walks pretty well with just a flat collar, not any pulling until we get close to home then she will pull just a little to get there faster. She can be timid around loud, sudden noises or when cars go by on a walk. She is very terrified of storms and fireworks. She has found comfort in shoving her body into the kennel of my 15 lb resident dog during fireworks and storms. Her “safe spot” is the corner in our living room or the kennel in our bedroom. The biggest issue we are having is that Molly is not house trained and she doesn’t give any clues when she has to go out. We’ll update as we get to know her more!

It’s Me – Princess Molly! I just wanted to share with everyone how I am doing. Mom says that I am really getting the groove of all these scary things in life. I am no longer on my anxiety medicine and doing great! I still prefer to be in the house or at the very least glued to my Mom but I am really brave and try really hard. My Mom and Dad love me to pieces and even my kitty fur siblings. I go with Mom and Dad everywhere and travel like a pro and I even went to the RAGOM picnic (2nd year) and met a lot of people and other Goldens. Some of them could have been my twin. We go to the park every day and walk on the trails and then afterwards go home and I get a treat – have I said how much I love treats J I have a couple of comfy beds and I tell Mom when it is 9:00 p.m. because that is my bedtime and lights out. I am the princess in this house, can you tell? I am told that I am a sweetie and get kisses all the time. I love kisses. Life is so good and I am a happy girl. Until next time – Molly Mae signing off.
One year ago today the Murphy Family brought home Molly Mae. All though she was not potty trained and afraid of almost everything and anything – she has pulled up her big girl panties and put on her brave fur coat. We are so proud of her! Love you Molly dear. Thank you for being a part of our family.
Molly is the sweetest girl.
She is really gaining confidence and being such a trooper and putting on her big girl panties for us. I love her to pieces and I realize she most likely will always have a little anxiety and be a little fear driven but she really tries to be brave and her mom is very proud of her. Molly has been with us for almost 8 months now and she has really taught me a thing or two. We love you Molly - thank you for being our girl.
Molly Mae Murphy (13-215) joined our family in September, 2013. She was very shy, scared and timid and also not potty trained. We have no idea what kind of a life she had prior to coming into RAGOM, except that she was not treated very well. Every day is baby steps but she is learning to trust and has certainly experienced many things, the dog park, snowshoeing, traveling in the truck on errands, doggie daycare and of course the holiday hustle and bustle. I promised Molly that we will love her always, kiss her everyday, give her a safe place to lay her head, good food, treats and even to wear some doggie apparel. RAGOM thank you for trusting us to raise Molly and love her the best we can. She is such a beautiful sweet lady.

Molly is doing great! She is starting to come out of her shell and it is really nice seeing such positive changes in her. The biggest change is that she is starting to ask to go outside to go potty! She’s also going into her kennel more easily during the day. I put the door on during the day and will put her in there when I leave the house. At night I leave the door off so that she has more room to spread out or move about my room. She has had no accidents over night.
I hope to see Molly raise her head and have more confidence. She still keeps her head low and her tail down most of the time. She will sometimes frolic around the backyard and it is so fun to see her enjoying herself! She will panic if I am out of sight when out in the yard, so I am not able to leave her out there alone. I would say that Molly does not need a fence. She is very much a Velcro dog and always stays close.
