Our Molly was a 1-year old yesterday!! How time flies. We have such a good dog. I think not a day goes by that my husband and I don't comment on our luck of owning such a beast. She is playful and gentle, smart and, most of the time obedient (she'll do anything for a treat!). She loves to cuddle, which I really enjoy. For her birthday, she got a stuffed squirrel toy and a big cookie. She is training for the real ones as spring is just around the corner (I hope!). Actually, she will never catch one and I'm not sure what she would do to it...probably play. This squirrel was christened Van Gogh II (another of her stuffed toys in Van Gogh) as she was quick to remove an ear! I had to do some emergency sewing sutures on the poor thing. She loves to rip things, what can I say.

Molly now weights 53.5 pounds and measures 22 inches at her shoulders; we figure this is it, she is done with growing, we'll see.

I'm going away for 6 weeks (work) and I am going to miss Molly and my husband horribly. I'll be using my spare time to plan our summer vacations!

It's been awhile...


I know, I know, it's been a while since my last post...I don't know why. Time flies, seems so many things are going on at the same time. Or maybe I just got lazy or forgot about it. Anyway, to catch up...

August 2006
Molly is enjoying corn season, running in the new park at the end of our street. Just having a great summer!!

September 2006
Molly completed "Basic Obedience" this month. At the end of September, she got spayed. She did very well and even returned to her obedience training within 10 days. It's amazing how these little beasts bounce back easily, she is so healthy. I think her breeding as well as what she eats contributes to her good health. She eats "Wellness Super 5-mix", she loves it! Molly was 6-months old on September 21st 2006.

October 2006
Molly completed "Obedience and Performance" training. Enjoying the fall season, more playing in the park . She follows us around everywhere, loves going for walks and playing with her toys. Everyday she is on squirrel watch, from the living room she has a the greatest view. But she now knows how to follow them by going to the different windows around the house.
Molly's first Halloween, Madison, Luke and Vivian came by in their cute costumes, Molly loves it! She is now a little over 40 pounds!

November 2006
Walking on our dirt road, makes a mess with our puppy. Can't wait for Molly to see and taste her first snow.

December 2006
December 4th, Molly's first snow. Of course she loves it. Andre took some great pictures. On Dec 13th, Molly had a little accident...while I was walking her, she cut the top of her foot on some glass garbage that was on the street. At first I though it was ice! It took a little while for me to notice she was bleeding. Molly didn't make a sound when it happened, what a tough little dog. We took her to the vet that evening and she had a few stitches put in. My poor bubby.
Molly's first Christmas. She had fun opening her presents, but I think she enjoyed more the ripping part, than the actual gift!

January 2007
Now we have more snow, it's fun to walk her and she doesn't get too messy.
Molly is a great assistant chef. When we cook, she always go to lay down on her little bed and waits for offerings. Mainly, I'll give her any vegetable I'm cutting. She loves green beans, zucchini, romaine lettuce, carrots, celery, cabbage, clementines, apples, banana.
February 2007
Okay, I've had it with winter. We have had so much snow, my husband has shovelitis! Molly loves it, but enough is enough as far as I am concerned.
Check out the pictures...
