Our "amazing" Lizzie!

These pics were taken yesterday when I worked in the yard & Liza came out with me "stole" a shoe & ran around the yard with it. She has been doing that since we have owned her & it's the only "bad" thing she has ever done.

What amazes me is each day I have her is borrowed time as she was given about 6 months more almost 2-1/2 years ago but here she is still running around thinking she's a puppy. She is as skinny as can be in spite of all her special food. Every Sat I cook freshly grounded chicken & hard boil 8 eggs. I take just the whites chopped fine, a can of lima beans also chopped & mix it all up with wheat germ & flax seed oil - Yummo! She gets that along with cottage cheese mixed into her breakfast & dinner every day(hi-protein because of her kidney issues) but we still can't get any meat on her bones. She still walks 2 miles with me every morning & usually about the same every night. She will be 14 years old(98 in people years) in Jan & every day I hope she makes it until then & longer...........................

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 ...

Molly bike riding????

Popster has been teaching Molly to run along side of his bike. It has been a slow process but she's finally getting it. They start off very slowly....... then speed up a little...... which is when she gets crazy& decides to "carry" the leash...... gradually she feels more comfortable.... then she begins to gallop.... & the ears start to flap!!!!!
