Meet Molly, the most senior member of the pack at 16 years old. I would call her the matriarch, but she is such an omega, and always has been. Even when you try to boost her status, she rebels, comfortably resting at the bottom of the pack hierarchy. She knows she will get a good breakfast, a lovely walk in the park, and a good dinner. If you try to hold her, she looks very alarmed and uncomfortable with the whole idea. Of course, she loves a good all over petting and scratching. She has so much energy for a lady her age. She trots everywhere, with the most happy look on her face. She just loves being alive. Nothing fancy required.
Molly is part of our blended family. Ric came with Molly and Elmo (our 22 year old cat) and his two daughters who are now 10 and 22. I came with Monster, Bella, Filo and Luca the cat. We are a Brady Bunch of sorts. We adopted Mo together a few years ago, and a few months ago took in "the Bob's" as rescues, who I will introduce you to next.
Needless to say, our home is full...full of bodies, endless amounts of fur and dust bunnies, and full of love and all that comes with it (joy, tears, tests of will, health issues, arguments, etc., etc.)
Hence the need for this blog....
