DATELINE-NY 8/24/10: Fame!
I wanted to mention something that I left out of my last post. I had mentioned that Hal left treats where he shouldn't have. Well One rule I did not mention is that he has to carry treats whenever we go out. That is why we had to go to Petopia. He was out of walking around treats. Apparently, Aaron Neville was in the store at the time. I'm a dog, so I don't really care, unless he's got a line of treats which he doesn't. But the manager was impressed that he was in the store.
Kudo's to Hal for mentioning that hey! Molly was in the store too and I'm going to be famous! I'm a goodwill ambassador whatever that means.
DATELINE-NY 8/22/10: Street Fair!
So there was a street fair on Thrid avenue today. Hal and I walked it- I got my Chicken Satay from the Thai food place- Picking the meat of the spit- Score! and it went from 23rd to 34th street. at 28th I visited Petopia double score- you know the rule- we never pass a pet shop and once we enter a pet shop Ha has to buy me treats.
While we're on the subject, Hal left treats in his shorts and within range so I had to eat them to teach hm a lesson.
DATELINE-NY 8/21/10: Summer Streets
Another Saturday, and Park Avenue was closed again for my morning walk. I didn't think the mayor even knew who I was. So they've got all this stuff going on. Couch Potato, Hal, gets me some cheese. Then he changes his shoes to these things with wheels (ed. note: Rollerblades) and off we go. CP gets some speed up and its great because I can finally run. Then I suddenly think, what's the point? I mean, I'm not trying to catch a bus. I wouldn't be allowed on the bus if I did catch it. I'm not stalking prey- the operative word in urban jungle is urban. We did visit the Brooklyn Bridge again. But I still haven't seen the tree that grows there.
DATELINE-NY 8/18/10: What's in a name?
I've been thinking about my name lately. It's a nice enough name. I especially like the wat Hal says it in a kind of sing song way- Mahhhh-Lee! I also like the way it evolves into MollyPie and Mollinator depending on weather you are a person or a shoe. My problem is that it is kind of arbitrary. Hal says he didn't pick it out, but he chose to believe whoever did. If Hal gets to call me what he wants, then I get to call him what I want. I want to call him Couch Potato.

So we're out on our morning walk, and we don't go down by the river. Also, we are amazingly, walking in the middle of the street. Hal tells me its called Summer Streets and Park Avenue is closed to cars. I have no idea what that means- I'm a dog. We walk all the way down to the Brooklyn Bridge. That is my favorite bridge becasue it goes to Brooklyn. I know, you may wonder what is so great about Brooklyn. Well, a tree grows in Brooklyn, how cool is that? By the way, Hal wants you to know that the bridge is for sale, if your interested.

Okay, let's begin with the basic premise- I know Beggin Strips aren't bacon. If you put a piece of bacon and a Beggin Strip on the floor, I would. . ., well I'd eat them both. I'm a dog- it's what I do. But let's face it, if it were bacon, Hal wouldn't give it to me, he'd eat it. I'm always upset when he comes home with bacon on his breath. Not that he ever comes home with bacon on his breath. Bacon is not kosher (just in case his mom is reading this).

People ask about my ears, or lack thereof. They ask Hal if he cut them. That happened long before we met. People then talk about how cruel it was, and granted it wasn't fun. However, in relative terms compared to other things the crooks who bred me did, this was the most humane. If I had ears when they bred me, the stud dog would have bitten them and quite possibly torn them and that would have been very bad. As such, cutting the soft tissue was, relatively speaking, humane.

It has been brutally hot lately. As I pant, Hal also complains about the heat. He said we aren't even at the dog days of August. Who is this August and why does he have dog days? To me, every day is a dog day. If dog days work like dog years, why don't you just say a week?

There is one room in the apartment that I have mixed feelings about. It's the room with the bathtub. For that reason I hate it- I don't like baths. On the other hand, there is a small chair that Hal goes and sits on. When he does, I like to go into this room. There is a very pleasing smell that emanates when Hal is seated, and since he's just sitting there, he needs to be kept occupied, so I sit in front of him and let him give me skritches.

Okay, so maybe you've noticed an ad. There are going to be a few more, but I told Hal he cannot go crazy here. He buys me treats and bones I should help pay for the kibble. I hope you don't mind. I also hope the ads are relevant to dog issues, and fit the aesthetic. Okay, "aesthetic" is Hal's word- I don't know what it means.

Make it stop!!!! This heat is killing me! Sure, Hal has been leaving the A/C on, but this has been one hellacious heatwave. When he goes to work, I'm like, "No! take me to the boring office with you! Bill's gonna take me to the dog run. This is no weather to be in a dog run! Why do they call these dog days? I'm a dog and I hate these days.

Happy 4th of July! Down with King George!
I wore my Stars and Stripes bandana today because I am an American Pitbull Terrier with a capital "A"! Does anyone spell American with a lower-case "a"? What am I talking about? I can't spell anyway. I'm a dog.Another reason to be patriotic is that I was named for Revolutionary War Herione Molly Pithcer.
(Editors note: This is not true) Although there was a Revolutionary War herione Known as Molly Pitcher. She was given a citation by General Washington and attained the rank of Sergeant.
Read more about her here.

I've said before, that there are 2 rules that I insist on. 1 that we never pass a pet shop without going in, and 2 that once inside Hal must buy treats. So we're on the morning walk, and coming through Alphabet City (editors note- Molly doesn't know the alphabet) and there's this pet shop/spa (yuck baths)and this woman says don' t go anywhere and runs to the back. when she returns she ties a Mets bandana around my neck. I know Hal's a fan but I don't mind because apparently they don't suck.

Father's day!
Hal wished some friend's a Happy Father's day today. They pointed to me and said the same. Hal is not a father!- at least not my father. My father was a Pit Bull!. Okay so Hal "adopted" me. that is a human construct. As far as I'm concerned, I'm Hal's dog, and he's my human.
