"Molly's First Birthday by Good Golly Miss Molly"

Co-host of "Your Life, A to Z", Channel 3 TV,  Azfamily.com

Molly talks about the excitement and adventures of her first year and says she's looking forward to new adventures now that she's a "teenage" puppy--We're sure her Mom is looking forward to those adventures too!


Loving Pets Magazine, November 2004
"Introducing Molly by Good Golly Miss Molly"
Co-host of "Your Life, A to Z"  Azfamily.com
Loving Pets Magazine kindly acknowledged that Molly needed a little help holding the pen and putting her thoughts on paper. So I'm not breaking a contract or divulging secrets. However, as most of you know, a true ghostwriter must remain a ghostly figure. You'll not find my name on Molly's column or on her web page, and I don't mind at all. This little star deserves all of the attention and a few extra Milk Bones for her good work. She's now studying to become a therapy dog. Kudos to Molly!
