Connections w/ Your Dog

[JenBKR]

Is Molly enrolled in classes? They will help a lot with many things including bonding.

That's exactly right - Roscoe's obedience classes really brought us together. They made such a difference in our relationship. I really recommend trying classes.

I agree with the others, spending more time with her will probably help you and Molly bond. But, I also think not every dog is "right" for every person. You may not feel as strongly as you do about Mickey, but I'm sure you'll come to love Molly in your own way.

I don't have the same relationship with Adele as I do with Marta. I found Adele on petfinder and thought "This is the dog for me," but you know what, it was still hard for us to adjust to having another dog around. I love her dearly, but her and my husband share more of a bond than her & me. Marta is my special dog, and Adele is his (but of course, we both give them attention and love, it's just we each share a special bond with one of them). I think eventually you will "click" with Molly, it will just take some time. In the mean time, you can try spending some quality time with her and of course with Mickey too. Good luck.
