Ashley

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?

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.

Post Of The Day

  • Secrets
    You’re only as unique as the secrets you keep. Go do something good. Go do something evil. In solitude and love, it’s beyond good and evil. Go do these things and tell no one. Let them quicken the throb of your heart and the pace of your blood and, as you become your own poem, watch who you become. People will see it in your eyes—not the content of your secrets—but the fact that you have secrets, that you know and have seen secret things. They will love you and hate you, want to possess and destroy you.
