Molly turned 9 this month, which is equivalent to approximately 63 dog years. She is considering joining the AARC (American Association of Retired Canines) soon.

If she could read, she’d probably need readers.

Despite her age, though, she still often behaves like a spry puppy. She sure was excited to open her birthday present.

And play with it.

Molly has been part of the family for so long, it’s hard to remember what it was like without her.
