Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Tia wasn't a fan of anything on her feet, she didn't even like you touching them she would pull them away like you had offended her. She cut her pad on her right back foot one year so I had to bandage it, she wouldn't walk, when I eventually got her going she would keep kicking out that back leg to try and get the bandage off the whole walk, took forever and we must have looked hilarious :)
Thank you for sharing your stories as you made me remember a happy memory of Tia and I do miss her antics xxx

Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Patti, I peeked outside and saw some small sand size particles of snow flying around!!!!! :eek::eek:
Mel, it's the really funny hilarious things that make us laugh, smile and cry sometimes isn't it. That is so funny about Tia and her bandage. You definitely must have made an interesting pair on your walks.
Molly got a broken off pine needle in her paw one year that got infected (she was pretty young then 2 years old maybe) and she'd hobble around, do the back kick, lick at it, anything to get it off. I'd try not to laugh at some of antics and she hides if she gets in trouble, by hide, I mean goes into the other room to do the same thing she was getting in trouble for in the first room. Hubs and I will both look at her and say "molly, we can still see you, you know" and she'd huff and puff about it for awhile.
Now she is smarter though and if she gets a pine needle stuck in a paw (those pines are all over the place), she stops and hold her paw up till I remove the offending piece. No more bandages for her!! ROFL She does the same thing in the winter, if her foot needs to be cleaned and for a back one, she holds it straight out to be cleaned off. Not sure how she manages that, she isn't particularly graceful about it.
Yep, going to have to try some booties and video tape it. That should be interesting.
Awww Trish, I feel a mush coming on and still on first cup of java too! I wouldn't be anything but awake while you are going through something like that. Even had Hubs staying up and dozing on the couch. When I woke him, his first words was, "Is he okay now?" He might have just wanted to go to bed, but he knew that we had to know Flynn-Man was okay first. :p
I actually took a girl to task the other day on the street. She was pulling her dog, who was limping along on 3 good legs and one bad and she'd just pull and pull and pull, even though the dog was stopping and obviously having problems on the leg. I said, you need to go slow and take your dog home, this is too long of a walk and the leg needs to be checked out and seen to, something is wrong. She said, "oh she always does this" and I said," well, that Really isn't good is it. You are hurting her". Stupid kid. I haven't seen them walking on my street since then, but now I'm worried about her dog. Young dog too, goldendoodle it looked like. My first thought is an ACL tear. Hope they got it checked out.
I'm changing my foyer today. I've had it with looking in closets for scarfs and gloves and molly's coats when trying to go outside in the winter, so went and picked up a table last week that has some drawers in it. Now i have to find a place for the open table that is normally by the door. Hubs is suppose to pick up the new one after his physio appt today.
Then it is time to say adios to the rubber plant that is falling all over the place in the living room. Yep, I'm on a roll. Molly loves to help out when I do stuff like this too. She runs around and gets under foot and I have to stop and say, uh, molly move, you're in the way.
She particularly hates the vacuum snake and barks at it and runs and jumps over it, then barks some more. That's before we turn it on!
Okay, getting busy. Christmas shopping needs to be tackled too before any really horrid snow gets here!!!! Oh! speaking of christmas shopping! LOL where we? hahaha I found a cat puzzle the other day and ordered it for my stepdaughters cats. I think they'll love it. I also found a nice wooden gate that expands to the size of our entryway into the living room, so hopefully that will keep molly in that one room when we have any workmen here and she can't terrorize them.
Gots to run gang!
Hugs,

Sharlene:
It is doing a real lite snow here right now and the wind is atrocious. The sky is black, and the weather said we were on track for over a foot of snow. This should be real interesting Monday morning at 5:30 when we leave for Pittsburgh! Blessings

Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
We had a brief few minutes of snow and then it stopped and sun is out. Nothing on the ground. Just cold and windy. I head on the Buffalo news last night though that down towards your area will probably be the largest amounts.
Failure on the table, we had to take it back. The nails screwed in from underneath and went in too far and caused a couple bubbles that would crack, so back to the store it went and they are ordering in another one. Molly attacked styrofoam all over the place though and had a great time. I'm sure she'll be ready to do it all over again real soon.
hang in there. Hopefully the roads will be clear by Monday morning. Just drive careful. I hate driving on bad roads. :(

Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Ucky, just took Molly for a walk in the blowing snow. She seemed to love it but wasn't interested in going to far from the house. I think that north wind finally did her in, she still had her head stuck up in it though Addy. LOL
I am constantly watching the competition of my husband literally telling molly that "he is the alpha dog in our house" and her ignoring him, determined that she will be alpha, thank you very much. It's quite fun to see and I just say "yea, but remember who walks you and feeds you little miss, I am the Hunter/Gather that you best be respecting for your dinner". LOL She'll just sit and look at me politely. Hubs says it is not fair and I obviously don't realize that he is alpha either. hehehehehe Yes dear.
Those two can really amuse me. LOL
hugs all,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
LOL Sharlene. The males always want to think that they are in charge, but that is rarely the case. :D I can just see your hubby having that conversation with Molly. Too dang funny! Xxxx
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Sharlene:
As long as hubby feels that way, I would keep letting him think that way, even though you know better. Men are slow at catching on! He will never know you and Molly are really in charge. Blessings
