Molly 1992-2006

lucy with molly, 2005

it is with great sadness that the myuglysweater family announces the passing of molly pearson this past week in truro, nova scotia. molly, a dog of uncertain beginnings, heroically endured a full 138 thunderstorms in her long-held position on nova scotia storm patrol. molly was a trailblazer in finding safe places to experience chaotic weather, discovering first beneath-the-bed cove, and second under-the-basement-sofa bunker. she also discovered early in life that the occasional windstorm could be comfortably passed on the basement couch. molly was rescued from a farm by the pearson family, and grew up from humble beginning to become a brilliant dog. after failing obedience class (the weiner was too much), molly came to excel in sports such as "carry your own leash," and "quell the antics of your doggie cousins." molly also led the way in the butt-wiggle-wag, a sport often perfected by dogs without tails. an expert in investigating the dishwasher buffet, molly could often be found sporting "dishwasher dreads," a hairstyle that she invented through a combination of soft fur and tea spilled from the top level of the appliance. this was particularly popular with her cousins, who would lick the top of her head. also known for the hot chocolate and ice cream dance, the sneeze of excitement, and her patented game "round and round the basement," molly will be remembered fondly by her cousins lucy and libby, and the rest of her extended human family. we will miss her very much.
