Things about Molly

So Molly has been here at our house for a while, and we have learned a few things about her:

She loves toys, like Kongs and rope toys.
She is a big time chewer. She has not yet destroyed anything with her chewing, except toys.
She is about 9 months old, according to our vet, so she is still quite a puppy.
She likes to jump up. She is getting better at not jumping on us, but we are still working on the "all four on the floor" rule we have here.
She likes to mouth, especially when playing. We are working at this by redirecting her to a toy, and ignoring her until she sits nicely.
She likes Scott's dirty laundry, and my shoes. Nothing destroyed yet.
We had her spayed about a week ago. She is doing fine.
She doesn't like baths.
We are working on "sit", coming to her name, and "no". Obviously she got away with a lot with her previous owners (see mouthing and jumping above), but she is pretty smart (mostly) and is picking stuff up relatively quickly.
She used to not like going in the car, but we have worked with her on this and now loves the car!
She is about 85 lbs, and will probably be about 110 lbs. This is why we are working to correct her habits now, instead of down the road when she can push her way around.
She really is a good girl :)
Roxy has not yet warmed up to her, but she does tolerate her and lays by her.
Scott and I both love her already!!!

Pics coming soon, when I can get some nice clear ones.
