"The 1st 30 days!"




This is what my living room looks like now!



But how can anyone yell at this face??



Her new favorite game - playing football with a basketball

One of her favorite ways to sleep!

It has been an interesting month & that's putting it mildly! Popster made the comment that before Miss Molly came along he read a library book a week. Since she joined us he is still reading the same book also the same page! Her manners have really improved & thanks to the "Gentle Leader" walking is a lot easier. We started obedience class last week & once we got past the initial excitement of meeting the other dogs she settled down & did really well. Only problem was in the car on the way there she drooled up a river & on the way home threw up ............in spite of me stopping 3 times...........it's a 5 minute ride!!!!! She has been riding in Popster's car & we take her to the park with her only drooling a little. Hopefully she will outgrow this! About two weeks ago she discovered the upstairs............only problem she refused to come back down & would just sit at the top & bark until somone went to get her! I finally spent 10 minutes teaching her how to come down by putting treats on every other step...................new problem.........she goes up all the time so Popster doesn't get to sleep in anymore! If I try to stop her from going up she sits at the bottom & barks. She is really "bonding" well with both of us, in fact this morning she followed me from room to room as I got ready & would lay with her head between my feet..................made me feel really guilty when I had to put her in her crate so I could leave!

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...
