One year with Miss Molly......................

To say she has completely taken over our lives would be an understatement..........especially Popster............she goes everywhere with him now. In fact her nose gets completely bent if he tells her no & leaves her home. She has such an enthusiasm for everything & believes all things are for her entertainment.

There are days when she has me totally frustrated with her...like last Friday. I was working in the garden & she was right underfoot, trampling on my flowers, biting the shovel when I was trying to spread mulch. When I was ready to leave for the golf course she would not come to me & played the "run away" game for about 15 mins to the point where I was so frustrated as I was late. I finally went in the house for a few minutes to "cool off"! After about 5 minutes I opened the back door & there she was laying in the garage with her front legs crossed as if to say "What took you so long"! The only time she crosses her legs is when she is waiting for you.

In spite of all that she really is a very special dog.

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 ...

Today we have a riddle???

What do you get when you cross a pile of scraps, a sewing machine, a woman possessed, & a husband on a week long golf trip? The following......... This is a tablecloth for my kitchen table....forgot to take the finished pic Cover for my sewing machine...very proud of this as I quilted the whole thing. This is the back....got tired of doing squares! Matching cover for my serger. I meant to post these a while ago & must have forgot. I have done a couple other projects since then which I will get around to posting soon. Had computer problems so I have some catching up to do Love

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!!!!!
