Mollie's Graduation

Mollie completed her obedience course today.  Here she is in her mortar board.  Next stop, therapy dog assessment.  

This photo session proved to be quite hilarious.  Those of you who have met Mollie know that she sneezes a lot, particularly when she's excited and happy.  The thrill of graduation provoked a fair bit of sneezing, which would make the hat fly off her head.  Our slapstick routine got laughs from human passersby, which only made Mollie sneeze more.  

Now that I think about it, maybe this was Mollie's interpretation of throwing one's cap in the air at the end of the graduation ceremony.  Clever dog.
