As all of you in Seattle know, today was our first (only?) snow day of the winter – which meant it was time to go outside and play! All of the neighborhood dogs congregated at the park, and who were we to deprive Molly of having her fun too? My sister came over as well, and thankfully, remembered to bring her camera.
Pictures tell the story:
(As do Joelle and I, of course – May 5769 bring everyone a healthy and sweet new year!)
I’ve been told (by an amazing amount of people – didn’t know so many people read regularly) I haven’t been blogging enough, which is true – for some reason, it was a lot easier to blog when I was stuck at home with the back situation. But, I do have a lot pictures to post, so lets get started with a quick post, more to come in the next day or so.
Video as always:
Over the 4th of July weekend, we decided to take a trip up to Whidbey Island, for a few reasons:
It was just what we needed – it fit all of those goals above, and we are really super-appreciative of the Arndt’s for hosting us. Molly had a fantastic time too – she got to run around their property, go swimming, get lots of fun new treats, and just be one happy (and tired!) dog.

Jeff, one of my co-workers at Pure Networks, along with his wife, Lisa, live around the corner from us. They adopted a dog, Dolce, just a little before we adopted Molly – in fact, it was them mentioning it that got us really thinking that it was time for a dog in our lives. Conveniently, they also found us the obedience class to take – also, just across the street. After we put in the fence, they’ve been coming over frequently to let the dogs run around, play, and, most importantly, get out lots of energy. Dolce definitely is the more aggressive one – Molly tends to lay down and just take whatever Dolce gives her… It has been very nice having them around – the dogs like each other a lot – another reason why putting this fence in has been a great decision for us.
Here’s a video of them playing – as usual, you might need to visit the actual blog article to see it.
While most of the time has been spent laying flat, reading, and watching TV, there has been a few activities over the past few weeks…
And yes, you can also call this post: Aaron is clearing out his camera from old pictures!

As I mentioned in the past, we adopted Molly from a rescue league, where she was sent after she was found pregnant and tied up to a tree.
She had 11 puppies (10 survived), including 2 boys. Her foster mom just sent us pics of one of the boy-pups, who’s 5 months old now – name is Atticus. Looks a lot like Molly :)

By the way, the title of this post describes “Atticus, Son of Molly” in Hebrew, which is the standard way to phrase lineage in Judaism. Albeit, there’s usually a father named in the lineage, but since we don’t know who it is, we’ll ignore that!

Molly, as you saw with the previous post, is a bit obsessed with running and chasing moving lights. When Joelle’s mother was in town a couple of weeks ago, we discovered her fascination with flashlights. Below is a video showing this… (sorry for the quality, I was having lighting issues and was using my digital camera, which isn’t too adjustable)
