By Golly Miss Molly...you did it!!

 I decided not to say anything but Molly was entered in an AKC event this weekend.   I just wanted Popster to enter her in beginner novice obedience but he decided to also put her in novice rally ....both days!!!   I had volunteered to steward so I was there at 7:30am but Molly's events were this afternoon.  As luck would have my ring finished early so I was able to watch her.
 Here he is getting some last minute advice from one of his instructors.
 Doing the heeling pattern
 Nice sit at the finish
 Doing a figure eight exercise
 This was the sit for exam
 Whew got through it.....I was barely breathing at this point!
 Here she had to sit in the middle of the ring while he walked all the way around the outside.
 Now come the recall.....you know the one where Molly usually goes "Yahoo"!  Don't know how I manged to get pictures while hyper-ventilating!
 Right to him with a sit.  YES!
 All we wanted was for her to qualify but she was the only dog to do so which meant.........
 .......tada.....she got the blue ribbon for 1st place.

 Here she's like "Okay enough of this!"

She was "toast" after that so did not do well in rally but tomorrow is another day!
Love

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...
