Molly, 13 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo - Molly has passed

I just might cancel Christmas if my kids don't straighten up. Nobody wants to talk about it yet... well, I've got news for them. They either tell me by this weekend, or it's cancelled. :D

How is Miss Molly's new do?

Molly had a beauty appt.?? How did the nail clipping go? Love those stories about Molly exhibiting her attitude when it's manicure time! :D

Hope it went well...I'm sure she is looking beautiful as always! ;)

Molly, the diva, is not impressed with the new hair cut. I don't think she ever is LOL The tail now tickles her bare bum and she jumps and looks back at it. Then it's too short, so she gets cold, but she would rather not have the coat put on her. Of course she prances down the sidewalk once it is, but she pulled my blanket off me last night and curled up in it, so she'd be cozy beside me on the couch. I got another blanket, and let her have that one, she got it over and under her, so I figured that much effort she wanted it more than I did.

The nail clipping as usual was an ordeal. I held her and she made groaning sounds buried her face in my chest, and then would snap at the groomer AFTER the nail was clipped. For goodness sake. She never actually even tried hard enough to reach the groomer, so I know it was all for show and so did the groomer who knows her pretty well. She'd say, miss molly, what do you think you are doing, you know I'm not hurting you, I have never hurt you, now just behave yourself and this will all be over with in a moment. Yea, like that Worked. NOT. Back into the chest her head went till the next toe got clipped. It was funny hearing the groomer explain to molly that her dew claws don't hit the ground and her back claws don't make enough contact because she prances, so she has to get this done. I was laughing something awful and made it hard to hold on to the miss wiggle worm.

All is well, we seem to be forgiven for our transgressions now. LOL It's cold, she'll be wearing those coats for awhile!

Valerie, did you purchase your fleece lined stockings online? I went to Macy's today and I was told they didn't have them. I could really use them this winter. Does the waist band roll down? :D Thanks.

I just love reading about Miss Molly's adventures - it sounds like she has a great groomer.

Those fleece tights sound interesting - for those who have tried them, do you think they would work for skating?

Macy's is out of them online too, but this site has some.

hmm, there are different kinds so think some of them could work for skating.

Yes Molly amuses me a good bit too! LOL

Oh gawd, that sounds like quite the ordeal for her. I have figured the best way to trim Flynns claws is to stand him on the table, lift up a leg kind of backwards like you were filing a horses hoof, still it is a bit traumatic so I ask the vet nurses to do it after he has his BP checks and then he does not have to hate me for doing it to him. I snipped one a little too close when he was little and it bled :eek: he has never forgiven me for that one.

I have you booked in for the sleepover, sounds like I am going to be running quite the bed and breakfast, the more the merrier :D

Thanks Sharlrne, that link is very helpful. I think I can find one or two pairs there. Song. :)

Sharlene:
It is a good thing that since she was little Tipper wore coats, T shirts, hats, etc. because now since her hair is so sparse she really needs to wear them. At the vets the other day they all remarked that she is the only Jack Russell they have ever seen that will wear clothes. Her belly is shaved most of the time from all these ultra Sounds etc. so she really has no fur underneath at all. I can just picture Molly getting those nails done. Why do all the dogs hate it so? I have to let the vet's do Tipper now as she will snip you a good one, if she even sees you looking at her feet she goes crazy. I dare not touch a pair of scissors either. I was getting a pair out to cut paper and there she was flashing the teeth at me. I have to bribe her with dog food nuggets to sit her on the vanity and let me trim her. I guess from all the attention they get the poor things can't help but get spoiled. Blessings

Trixie's opinion of coats is like Molly's opinion about nail clipping!! :D
This dog hates wearing anything!! I put on a coat or sweater and she stands there frozen like a statue. It's actually hysterical to watch her...head hangs and she doesn't move at all. So unless it's below 20 degrees with wind or there is precipitation she goes without a coat. I've never noticed that she shivers unless she gets wet.
Since she's a small dog I sometimes get the look :mad: from other dog walking people...like I'm a bad mom for having my dog in the cold with no coat. She will just stand there barely move outside if she's wearing one and it only make the time out in the freezing cold longer for both of us!
Oh well...another bit of quirkiness from Trixie...what can you do!? ;)

How about that Molly...hogging the blankets!! :p I love her attitude...she know's who's boss!!! :D
