Happy Birthday!

Today is Molly's 12th birthday so I bought her some special treats and we are going to have a quiet celebration, just the two of us, pretty much the way it has been for the past three years. I never could understand my fathers "love affair" with his dogs but i understand it better than ever now. Molly represents unconditional love. She is going to show me love and loyalty no matter what I do, no matter what I have done, or how bad my day has been. She is going to greet me the same way every day. She is going to yawn, stretch, and wag her tail, and not necessarily in that order. She is going to want to go out, she is going to want a nap, and she is going to want attention. Also not necessarily in that order. It has been 12 great years and I would love to be able to say it's going to be 12 more but that is not the way a dog's life runs.
