The Only Talented One Of The Bunch

A few things before you grab your popcorn:

1) As soon as I started recording, Mike's phone rang. So for the entire minute-long video, you get to hear his conversation with his sister which I'm sorry about, but it's a nice conversation! They're not yelling or bickering! They actually get along quite well!

2) Excuse the dirty house. I still haven't cleaned up from the baby shower I threw for Crystal this past weekend. Ignore all the balloons and trash bags, see, I've been busy sleeping and debating with myself if I really need this sweater for BlogHer. I THINK I DO.

3) Molly usually goes in and out on her own, but when her parents are forcing her to perform, she responds to the "go outside" command. Honestly, if there's anyone you should feel sorry for in our home, it's her. Not me for putting up with all of Mike's horrible DVR decisions and not Mike for having to turn off the lights after me EVERY DAMN DAY but the dog.

Now, with all that said, here you are:

That has got to be the SMARTEST dog I have ever seen. Bravo Molly!!

[EmilyPie]

can't watch the video.. work computer has no sound .. but..... am I the only one seeing MY twitter updates on your twitter update thingy? ha!

[She Likes Purple]

I think I fixed the Twitter problem, Emily (and anyone else who was puzzled by seeing your twitters on my page). Thank goodness. I couldn't have been MORE annoyed with Twitter over that.

[Paige]

Very impressive... :)

[Kristie]

Good girl, Molly!

[Raven]

Good girl Molly!

[jean]

Wow. Great job. I'm really impressed, how long did it take to train her?

[Nicole]

Cute!

[She Likes Purple]

Jean: It took about a week total.

[Kitty]

That's awesome! I wish we could do that with Thunder, but our lack of a fence and presence of four kitties makes it impossible. Molly is awesome.

[Pickles & Dimes]

That is so awesome and fun - what a smart dog!

P.S. You sound EXACTLY like one of our clients - your real name isn't Amy, is it? :)

[She Likes Purple]

Pickles & Dimes: Not Amy! Sorry! My real name (and online name) is Jennifer. I have one of those really great American accents that sounds like I'm from NOWHERE.

[ali]

your dog makes me want to consider getting a dog. and that's a HUGE step. my children will be so happy ;)

[Mandee]

Good girl, Molly.

Do you have the same set up on the outside of the door so she can let herself back in?

[She Likes Purple]

Mandee: She can let herself back in! Unfortunately, I opened the door (in the video) right as she was about to open it herself.

[Dianna]

Seriously, I absolutely adore you. If I lived closer I would love to meet you and I am certain we would be friends.
I too have a dog named Molly, granted she's a bit older and lives outdoors so no door opening for her.
Good job to Molly on her new skill!

[Heather]

That is so cute! Very impressive!

[slynnro]

Super impressive.

And I have also been trying to tell that sweater to STOP CALLING TO ME DAMMIT.

Also- I asked for those shoes for my birthday.

[Jennie]

Oh my word - that is incredible!

And you definitely need the sweater. Definitely.

[Stephanie]

BRILLIANT! omg - i so wish i had a yard. my dog would be all over that.

and don't get me started on how much of my hard earned money j.crew has taken from me in the past six months. i have no control. a lot of really frickin' cute tops, but zero control. and really, i DO think you need that sweater. (see?? see what just happened there?? i even give them YOUR money! i'm doomed)

[Danielle-Lee]

Awww! Good girl Molly! Will she come teach my dogs how to do it??

[Rachel]

Your house is not dirty, and the conversation wasn't even loud in the background, but Molly is SO cute! I would love to have a dog like her. She seems to mind SO well!

[sarah]

I am so impressed right now! Unlimited treats for Molly!

[Angella]

You have the sweetest voice! Molly's a sweetie too :)

[Natalie]

Yay, Molly. Can't wait for Barley to learn this trick at your house!

[Robin G.]

It's like taking a car to get fixed, isn't it? One minute it's making that terrifying squeak every time you touch the brake, but as soon as it's actually in the shop, the engine purrs like a kitten and the mechanic is giving you a pitying look, like you've dropped too much acid and are seeing winged demons fly out of the tailpipe.

Maybe that's just me.

Anyway, glad to see your pup did obey eventually ;) It's a very neat trick.
