More: Dolly is named for Dolly Partin. 4 years ago Dolly was generously helping her community in Tennessee from the wild fires. We thought naming her Dolly would always be a reminder of how great Dolly Parton is to our state. Dolly loves to swim and in the summer spends hours diving into the pool to get her ball. She races her human Daddy and sometimes takes the short route to exit the pool and run to end of pool and greet my husband as he finishes his lap. She is also a super smeller and knows when we enter the house, if there is a ball in the sack. She sleeps with a ball. I have the first two years of her life, everyday in pictures, from the first day. Dolly is a Super Dog.
