Yeah Miss Molly

We had Molly entered in our dog show this weekend on both Saturday & Sunday.  Sat we had put her in the afternoon session because I work in the morning but of course it was 90 degs out.  She does not do well in the heat. We were both competing at the same time as I was doing Rally & Popster doing the obedience.  I was able to move up so I could go first .  I have done nothing with Molly since I went back to work in April but Popster has been taking classes & working with her everyday.  Rally is easier in the fact that you can talk to your but you have to memorize the course because it's 10 points off if you do a station wrong.  You need to score 70 out of 100 to qualify.  I managed to get her a little "reved" up & we did okay until the last one which was a figure eight & you have to cross the center 3 times & I lost track & did one extra.......duh!  It was okay tho I got an 85 so managed to qualify.  It was finally Popster's turn & Molly was so lethargic by then, she wouldn't do any sits during the on leash heeling, & during the off leash heeling she stopped during the about turn & just stared into space.  DQ!  Poster was devastated but that's just the way Molly can be!

Today was a whole new day & being on first thing when it was cool made a big difference.  We left her in the car & I didn't get her until it was time to go in the ring.  She got in a panic cus she wanted to find Popster & he was staying out of her sight.   We flew around the course & I was amazed that I got her to do everything.  We not only qualified but got a 3rd place finish.


Now we had to get through obedience.  I don't think I breathed the whole time she was in the ring but she got the job done with the heeling on & off leash.  Everthing else she's pretty steady on. The only thing  left was the one  minute sit & 3 minute down.  Again I didn't breathe but she made it & got a1st place.  Phew!!!

I have more pics & I will post them later

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...
