	Molly
		Molly 01-194 is a 4 year old spayed female turned in by her owners because they didn't have time for her.
		Molly has gotten much better at "sit" this week, but "stay" is a real challenge for her as she would just like to follow us around and be close.
		Molly has been absolutely fine with our dogs since the second day she was here and has earned free time off the tether in the house with the other dogs when we are home.

	Write a Tribute to Molly Yard
		Molly Yard, an inspiration, a firebrand, and a brilliant, outspoken activist for the 20th century.
		I saw Molly Yard and other feminists leaders on a TV show and I remember how the hair stood up on the back of my neck when I heard Molly say "Women are not gong to take it anymore!" I have repeated that phrase over and over again in the past 16 years.
		Molly's bravery and conviction and "straight talk" have served as an example to me all these years of how powerful we women can be, and has given me the courage to speak out against hatred and racism and those that would try to control our bodies and our lives.

		Molly Yard, who has died aged 93, led America's influential National Organisation for Women (Now) from 1987, when she was 75, until her retirement in 1991 - and proved herself more combative and radical than colleagues half her age.
		Yard always said she was a "born feminist" - the phrase sprung from her birthplace in China, where her parents were missionaries.
		The family returned to the US and, in 1933, Yard graduated in political science from Swarthmore College, where she campaigned against discrimination against Jewish students; she then became a social worker and labour organiser.

		Yard, as many will remember, was the prototype of the angry feminist, often screaming at the top of her lungs on the Capitol lawn.
		Molly's parents understood that the way to combat the Chinese culture of death was to welcome baby girls into life, even if no one else understood why.
		Sep 26, 2005 9:56:36 PM What an irony that Molly Yard’s support for abortion helped lead to so many of her sisters being aborted in China and India where girls are still looked upon as a burden.

	Lady Molly Of Scotland Yard by Baroness Orczy : Arthur's Classic Novels
		Lady Molly was deeply interested in it from the first, and my firm belief is that she simply worried the chief into allowing her to go down to Ninescore and see what she could do.
		ALTHOUGH, mind you, Lady Molly's methods in connection with the Ninescore mystery were not altogether approved of at the Yard, nevertheless, her shrewdness and ingenuity in the matter were so undoubted that they earned for her a reputation, then and there, which placed her in the foremost rank of the force.
		Lady Molly now employed me as her private secretary, and I was working with her one day in the study of our snug little flat in Maida Vale, when our trim servant came in to us with a card and a letter on a salver.

	Blue Ridge Traditions - Bruce Hopkins Writes
		None of my neighbors saw the dog anywhere but in our front yard, none of the businesses had any missing collie reports on their bulletin boards, the radio stations knew nothing, no one responded to our “found dog” ads, and none of the vets even had collie patients.
		After the cats determined there would be no quantitative loss of attention due to Molly’s arrival, they treat her as part of the household and as unlikely as it sounds, it seems like she has always been here.
		Molly is a gorgeous, long-nosed, somewhat clumsy (with a scar on her nose to confirm this is not a recently developed trait), devoted, and beloved, certified family member now.
