Wonderful news!! We have a 1 3/4 year old female maltese that is a show champion, number 25 in the country. When we got her from the breeder in April of this year she had only lived in a cage. There were thirty dogs of all ages in this kennel, all show quality and all in cages, and all just wanting to be loved. It is amazing how quickly she has become the greatest house dog. She still sleeps in her cage out of choice, but in every other way she has become just like our 6 year old maltese. Good luck with Molly, I know how much she will love you both.
