This fall, I got an email from Scott and Caroline from New York who have one of Molly's daughters - Burgess - Fox River Lady Burgess.  Well, this video of Burgess and their daughter went "viral" over the internet.  It was also seen on The Ellen Show, The Today Show and Good Morning America.

I hope I haven't forgotten any events!  If I did, please let me know and I will happily add it.  I'm so proud of all of my families and their Fox River dogs.
