Good golly Miss Molly

I haven't done an up-date on Molly & her classes for a while.  We graduated from Novice & the next one for her to take would be Beginner Open.   The only class I could get her in that I could go to was Intermediate Open so I figured what deheck we'll go for it.  Dr Ruth Betty wasn't teaching this session so we have a different teacher.....she knows Molly so cuts me some slack! 

One of the things Molly needs to learn is retrieving a dumbbell which she decided she didn't like to even put it in her mouth.  I was totally befuddled as the one thing she loves to do is play ball, frisbee & does well at bringing it back....doesn't always give it back......but always brings it back!  I have literally spent weeks getting this dog to hold the dumbbell in her mouth, to even freely take it from me!!!

Look we have progress!!  She will finally take it from me & hold it as long as I want!



 In case any of you were curious this is Dr Ruth Betty at the dog show with her dog....Pearl flunked out so now I don't feel so bad about Molly!




She is such a character.....I'd love to know what she is thinking!

    Question? why does she have to hold something so heavy in her teeth?

    ROFL about Betty's dog flunking. I hope you told Molly the good news.

      Believe or not Dawn that dumbbell is made of resin so it's not at all heavy.....she just didn't like it for some reason only known to her! She has to eventually learn how to retrieve it, bring it back & sit in front of me & not let go of it until I tell her. I will have to see if I can find some videos on what we are going to be doing with the dumbbell.

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 ...

Work, cat bites. hospital.....

After a long winter I went back to work on Thurday & as usual it was crazy with the phone ringing off the wall!  The weather wasn't that great but golfers in the northeast are like caged animals who are finally free!  We had good weather predicted for the weekend & I was scheduled to work both days.  After a very long day Saturday I finally got done around 8 pm & was meeting Popster & Jess in Ballston Spa at a surprise birthday party for Jeff & Colby.  Jess met me in the parking lot & said she was leaving as she had also worked all day.  She showed me her arm where she had been bitten by a cat earlier at work.  She had gone to urgent care & they gave her antibiotics & she went back to work. Before I left for work Sunday at 5:30am I woke her up to look at it & didn't like the way it was swelling up.  I told if it didn't look better when I got home at lunch we were going back to urgent care. This is what it was...
