This is supposed to be Spring????

This is the craziest spring weather we've had in a long time.........tomorrow is June 1st & we could get a frost tonight with a possibility of snow in the Adirondacks. I am beginning to despair of ever finishing my yard this year. We had a week of rain & then Friday it got a little better but I ended up spending most of the day doing the flower beds at the golf course. Sat was an adventure as I thought Miss Molly's first obedience class was at 9:00 AM & I was taking her (Popster plays golf on Saturdays). I got her in my car & had to drive about a mile & a half but by the time we got there she was drooling & very unhappy. I had the date wrong.....doesn't start until the 13th DUH! Back in the car we went & she threw up before we got home. Cleaned her up & had to put her back in the car to go to the groomers...about a 6 mile ride. Of course she didn't make it so had to clean her up again & then leave her in a strange place - poor Miss Molly!
Then I drove right over to babysit Li Li for the rest of the day. She is such a sweetheart & we had a great time walking around the block & throwing stones in the storm drain..........it doesn't take much to entertain a 2 year old. Meanwhile Popster went to pick up Miss Molly & of course she got sick again.

This is her new look..........now we can see that sweet face!

Today we put her in the car several times & let her just sit there. Then Popster drove her to the end of the street & back just to get her used to it. Right before dinner we picked up our neighbor Ellen with her dog Katie & drove over to the park about 2-1/2 miles. Miss Molly rode there on my lap in the front seat but she was still drooling really bad by the time we got there. Both dogs had a ball running around but the trip home was just as bad. Hopefully we'll figure something out!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot. When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow. Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out. I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly. Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes. It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet. Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners. We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Liza's treat ball

This is one of the most important things in our house - it is Liza's treat ball! I bought this about 9 or 10 years ago & it had a "trap door" where the gaping hole is & when you put treats in it you could control how easily they would fall out as the ball rolled around. Liza learned that if she rolled it down the stairs the treats would usually fall out which is why it looks this way. I have tried super glue etc. but it never stays together! It is sadly beaten & broken but try as I may I have never been able to find another one like it. I have spent hours looking & have bought many similar but nothing will ever take it's place. She knows where it is almost all the time - usually keeps it in her bed - but when it's missing she just paces the house until someone helps her find it. She used to be able to hold it in her mouth like this by just hooking it onto her eye tooth Now she just puts her bottom jaw into the opening like this There is a rit...
