Springer Spaniel Series

Molly and Domino are a pair of English Springer Spaniels. Although they are both Springer Spaniels they are quit different. Domino is very laid back and easy going where Molly is high strung and easily excited. Domino enjoys playing catch where Molly enjoys wrestling on the living room rug. Yet, then again…… they are quit the same as well. They both are at the door to welcome you home and both need to snuggle next to you whether you watch T.V. or read a good book. So, to Molly and Domino my four legged friends, I dedicate these letterboxes to you. You can find their letterboxes in the Village Park in Sussex, Wisconsin.

Domino’s Letterbox

Domino's Letterbox has been confirmed missing, but Molly's letterbox has been confirmed as still in place.

I remember the day well. It was a sunny, Wednesday, afternoon when I received the call. “When do you want to meet Domino?!” the caller asked. The following Sunday, the family and I and our family dog Molly drove to Indiana to meet (whom we prayed would accept us) Domino. It’s been three year’s since Domino was adopted through the English Springer Rescue Organization. For the first few years of his life he endured horrible abuse and was eventually dumped at a shelter. This experience turned Domino into a shy, retiring dog who was terrified of people. If you ever have the opportunity to meet Domino, I’m sure you’ll find that after being in our lives he’s been spoiled so badly that these characteristics are long gone!

To find Domino’s letterbox begin by finding the Sussex Oak Tree. The Village of Sussex used this old oak tree as a model for the village symbol. It is located along one of the park edges and is marked by a historical sign which explains the significance of the tree. From the historical sign locate a large maple tree that is on a bearing of 250º and across a large open field. 20 paces south of this large maple tree is an old stump. Domino’s letterbox can be found at the base of the stump.

Molly’s Letterbox

We’ve had Molly since she was a puppy. She is a field bred springer, which means that she has a very strong hunting instinct. When she finds a fresh sent on a trail nothing will stop her in her pursuit of the rabbit or squirrel that she’s after, which has occasionally resulted in some one being pulled off their feet and dragged behind her!

To find Molly’s letterbox follow the trail south from the tennis courts. Follow the trail south along the edge of the park and through a grove of trees. Eventually you will reach the south west corner of the park. Continue following the trail as it turns east. Soon after the trail leaves the trees it will reach the outfield fence of a base ball field. Watch for the first gap in outfield fence. From this gap take about twenty paces at a bearing of 190º to a tree line. Proceed into the trees. After a few steps into the trees look for a large piece of rough concrete on the right. The piece of concrete will be between a pair of two-trunked trees. Molly’s letterbox is at the base of the two-trunked tree that is south west of the concrete.
