Minette- the fact that you have towels in your car and that old comforter – that’s proof you have no Adultitis. Good for you, for letting Molly have fun. Sounds like Molly is one lucky Dog!!

Susie, this story gives me chills. What an awesome moment you seized. You are an AWESOME mom! What a gift you gave her!! And a memory that will last forever. Thanks for sharing – and for your example!!!

Yes, there is truth to that!!! Thanks!!

I don’t have a child – but I do have a dog. (Which is kind of the same thing – except they don’t grow up & out of the house.) We go out to a local dog park where she can run safely (it’s fenced but big) – and there’s an enormous mud puddle in one of the far corners. I know it’s there – and so does Molly! She heads over there first thing to wallow in the mud (thankfully she doesn’t roll) and then runs around the dog park to her heart’s content. She’s a shorthair English pointer so most of the time the mud is dry (and sometimes has come off) by the time she’s finished running around the park and rolling in the grass. For the rest of the time, I just make sure I have towels in the car and an old comforter that permanently lives on the backseat! She has a ball and I have the best time watching her. (She challenges greyhounds to a game of chase – and stops the game when she starts to lose!)
