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 ...

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!!!!!
