Molly was bought from a pet shop 6 yrs ago. Since then children have come along and the family don't really have time for her. A few months ago the nextdoor neighbours dog a King Charles Spaniel got into their garden on a mission. Oh as a result an accidental litter. Molly had 4 pups but one didn't survive. Molly is being taken to the vets tomorrow for the first time pups are 3 weeks old..and then Ruthi and Les are taking her and her pups in to their care.

Is this the same dog that the owner has been trying to rehome on Dogpages for some time?

Not sure Polly.

Owner contacted us before Molly had puppies but gave no contact number. We could have taken in then. She emailed us twice but despite Lynne and i both sending emails she then emailed again with no number and finally again emailed the other day where finally able to get number for her.

Poor little Molly. Still life will be on the up now at Ruth's Laughing

I expect you'd like to see pictures. One boy, two girls. We are working on names.

And the gorgeous Molly - she has such a beautiful soul!

They are not in as bad a condition as we feared, although poor Molly has given her all for the babies. I have never seen a dog eat as much as she does, and she is always ready for more!

The cute little bundles are quite cav like to look at, but I do not think that 4 week old cavs would be this feisty! One even had a go at barking this morning! They explore, play fight, attempt to groom themselves, and are just generally better than TV (not difficult) and other pleasures too! They are pretty good at eating - I just have to keep an eye on Molly or she's in there taking theirs. Poor girl is really desperate.

Molly is a very sweet dog. She's lived in a chaotic household and with her sensitive soul has absorbed all the angst and I suspect tried to hold it for her owners. She is very cuddly, to the point of being needy, but that should settle once she feels more secure. At this stage I see her as being the pampered pet of an active older owner or couple - she is very lively and needs to make up for the years that she hasn't been walked. She needs confident humans who can make her feel safe, and are unphased by her barkiness under stress. I was given a muzzle for her, but its totally unnecessary. She's just worried, but apart from gobbing off a bit when they get too near her babies, has been fine with my boys, and human visitors.

I haven't seen the dogpages listing. Owners loved her dearly, but just couldn't cope - even before she had the pups. I was asked to categorically promise that there would be no destruction. Which ofcourse I did.

It is the same dog that I saw on Dogpages in the Private Homings section. she didnt mention in that post that her dog was expecting pups though. She did say she reacted very badly to other dogs and was muzzled at all times when out and about (which clearly wasnt very often). It sounded as though she (the owner) couldnt cope at all.

Ruthi is getting the true measure of Molly and will be discovering her inner confidence and will reintroduce her to dogs generally and dogs outside. I think we can safely say that Molly will need time but Ruthi has already stated she has no need of a muzzle indoors.Outdoor walks begins tomorrow.
