It sounds like you love Molly a lot. I wish you the best of luck finding 
a home for her.

I must comment on the "hand delivered from Missouri" part of your post. 
I'm very sorry to tell you that your puppy is almost certainly from a 
puppy mill. I live in Missouri. We are a puppy mill state. I know of no 
reputable breeder who hand delivers (or delivers in any way!) dogs to a 
middleman to sell in another state. It simply isn't done. Only 
wholesalers, bunchers and brokers sell through middlemen. I *do* know of 
a wholesaler who was arrested in Ohio while he was "hand delivering" 
puppies to New York. There were more than 80 5 week old puppies jammed 
into rabbit hutches in a van. If the van hadn't broken down, the puppies 
would have made it to their destination. This means they would have 
died in NY rather than in OH. They were riddled with illness, including 
parvo, which many died of later. Also, reputable breeders do not cross 
breed.

However, there is certainly nothing you can do about her origins now. It 
sounds like she has a lovely temperament. Hopefully her long-term health 
will also stay good.

Good luck finding the best of homes for her.
