Molly Day


 It has been 4 years since we met this crazy dog.  It was love at first sight & we had no idea what a wild, crazy ride we would be on.  I still have trouble believing that someone gave up a a puppy like Molly saying that she was un-trainable??  Excuse me but it does take time & patience.....they should see her now.
 I have to admit it was not easy but life is not easy....you do what has to be done.  Molly is very smart & very driven which means she loves to work on her training in agility, obedience along with doing fun things like chasing a frisbee.
 She doesn't care what we are doing as long as she can go along for the ride.
 She can be a little "aloof" at times but it never lasts long.
 She likes nothing better that being able to run free to stretch her legs but never lets us out of her sight.
 I can do anything to her & get her to pose for a photo shoot...she will sit forever & pose.
 She knows how to chill out with the best of them
 This is her favorite place to be....waiting to go for a ride
 & likes nothing better than the wind in her face.
 Someone once said to me:
 "Dogs are just kids with fur on them"  

How true that is!
She totally believes she's a lap dog
 She has definitely become a very important part of our family.

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.  You are his life, his love, his leader.  He will be yours, faithful & true, to the very last beat of his heart.  You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."  Unknown

    A little aloof.....omg, that cracked me up. She is gorgeous, aloofness and all. I didn't read your blog back then and I can't believe someone gave her away because she was untrainable....people are stupid. Like you said it doesn't just happen, you make it happen. You did and added a tonne of love

    I love all the Molly stories, happy gotcha day, Molliwog the Golliwog.

      That was what she looked like the day we got her! My daughter named her "The Thing"! The second pic was featured in a cartoon drawing by "Draw the Dog"........Molly's claim to fame!

    I love this post..absolutely! I love to see others have that special bond that I share with my own dogs. I always say when you have that bond, a dog will do anything for you.

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 ...

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...

C of O ....Sun Room...Day Twenty Three-Twenty Five

This came in the mail today which made me realize I never posted the last couple days updates.  They really all rolled into one as Jim ended up leaving at noon on Weds...it started to snow & didn't work at all on Thurs.  Friday he finished things up by lunch time but had to spend the afternoon emptying my garage of all his tools.  We had our inspection on Monday which wasn't a problem.  It has been so sunny this week so far so it is so nice to sit in there & enjoy the view!  Yes Molly hangs out in her a lot.....I have nose prints to prove she looks out of all the windows!
