Meet Molly

Hi everyone, 

   I want to introduce this fun, loving and amazing dog. Her name is Molly and she is Blake's Service Dog. She came into our life/home on Aug 17th of this year. I know it's only been 3 months since she has came into our life's. But she has been such a blessing to Blake and the whole family. Blake, the kids and I love her so much and we can feel her love for us too. I would have never thought a dog could change so many things from types of dog food :), our home, and how the public treats Blake & Molly. 

  Now let me tell you how Molly helps Blake (with Blake's permission of course) Blake surfers from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) & TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). Molly has been a big help since day one. You would think they have been together for years, cause of the bond they have. I dont know how many people know about PTSD or TBI the only things that help are meds., service dogs, working with horses and therapy. There is a great show on TV that shows what PTSD is and different things that sets them off. The show is called dogs of wars. It's also amazing how you can see the dog work on protecting, watching there backs, there stress and anxiety. Molly dose all of these things. Molly helps Blake when his stress is overwhelming, his anxiety, his moods, nightmares and etc. Let me tell you a story that happened to Blake & Molly. 

  Blake, Molly and I went to the store and as we where shopping. Blake & Molly walked away from me to look at something. As I was getting something things. A man came up to Blake and Molly and tried to pet her. The guy made Blake nervous and his anxiety went up. Molly could feel his anxiety and stress. She got Blake to get away from the situation he was in and to come get me. This happens offten when people become over powering and try to pet her while she is working. Even thou she has patches on her vest that say do not to pet and touch. People still try. I don't know if we will ever get people not to touch while she is working. Other then by telling them after they try to pet her. And I hate to cause I don't want to come across as mean, or not nice. It's hard to be forward for me so I just let Blake handle it :) 

  I do want everyone to welcome her as a member of our family cause she is :). I also want you all to know, but I don't want any of you to take this wrong way. When she has her working vest on she can't be touched, pet or loved on, cause she knows that she is working for Blake and she know her mind needs to be in the right place. She is amazing, loving and so smart. And we are so blessed that she is apart of our family :)
