Buddy and Molly

aka: Jake and Jill

At the end of August, actually on the same day as the Clemson/Georgia game, we had some wanderers in our neighborhood.  Mercy and I had seen them a couple days before as they emerged from the woods across the street, probably from the neighborhood beyond the woods.  The kids quickly gave them names: Buddy and Molly.  We gave them water and they hung around with us and our neighbors for several days. Our neighbors fed them as they tried to find out who they belonged to.  Most of you probably know that I am not a huge fan of dogs, especially around my kids.  (I think too many dogs have snapped at them over the years.)  But, I have to say that I REALLY like these dogs.  They are so gentle, not jumpy, and I wasn't the least concerned with the kids playing with them (even Mercy).  Buddy and Molly are so sweet!  After a while, our neighbors found the owners, and Buddy and Molly were gone. :(  We later found out their names are Jake and Jill.  Buddy and Molly are welcome to visit anytime.  They actually visited again about a week ago.  It was a nice treat for the kids to see them again!
