Molly's many moods – playful, patient, but never bad
Posted by Brendan Cooper
Patient Molly
"Molly adores her food so she is showing wonderful self-control in these photos - but she has learnt that the wait is worth it for the reward!", says Carolynne, her Bed and Breakfast volunteer.
We call this reward-based training, and Molly is very good at it. You can read more award reward-based training on our website.
She's even learned to arrange them into 'M' for Molly! Now that's what we call focus!
Active Molly
Carolynne explains the photo below: "We had a lovely walk today at Cliveden along the river, and this is Molly admiring the painting of the glorious views."
Cliveden is a beautiful location near our training centre in Buckinghamshire. Carolynne is giving Molly exactly what she needs: plenty of exercise and stimulation! She's even helping Molly appreciate classic art in a classic setting.
And here's Molly out on a fresh winter's day. She suits the frosty grass, don't you think?
Playful Molly
Says Carolynne: "Molly likes to play - she has her own cuddly toys..."
"... but also really enjoyed a session of 'hot wheels' with my grandson!"
We're impressed by Carolynne's ability to take a sharp photo of this below. We imagine there must have been plenty of excited movement! Unless, of course, Molly's focus is so strong that she just stared at the same spot throughout.
Contemplative Molly
Carolynne continues: "Molly loves to watch the world go by and will sneak on to the back of the sofa for a good view if she thinks we aren't looking."
There's nothing wrong with zoning out and having a little day-dream.
However, Molly isn't really allowed on the furniture, so could it be she's looking slightly guilty here because she's been caught? What do you think...?
Sleepy-time Molly
Finally, no Pupdate would be complete if it didn't feature a sleepy-time puppy. So, here you have Molly all tucked in for the night. She's worked hard and played hard, and she deserves it!
Night-night, sleep tight!
Molly is such a good girl. She's well on the way to being matched and partnered with a deaf person after her amazing journey. We can't wait to tell you all about this in your next printed update, so until then... thank you for sponsoring her!
