Thanks Sharlene for your post on Tias memory thread
I have been working my exit out for weeks. Everything should be covered. Phone will be off from Saturday.
Hope Miss Mollie is doing ok tonight with those blinking fireworks. Happy Canada day
Big hugs and kisses to mollie
Mel
Xxxxxx
sorry I am late to this.. but... Happy Canada Day!!
Sounds like Molly had an awesome day. Every dogs dream would be to follow a 2 year old around all day. :D
Isn't that the truth! She was definitely worn out at the end of the day though. LOL
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Sharlene, has Molly's tummy settled down? Hope she is feeling fine and fighting fit! xxxxx have a good weekend!
Hey Trish, yesterday was good, today started okay with the first poop, followed up by liquid. Uck. However, I am thinking it was just nerves today from all the rain and thunder we'd had overnight. She came home and went into big time play mode, running around with toy in her mouth.
I swear, if you didn't look at her belly and know she had an enlarged liver that was making it look more poofy than it should, you wouldn't know there was a thing wrong with her. I like that she is still so playful and happy. Don't we all though. If our furbabies are happy then we are happier too.
Course then we got another thunderstorm during the day and she was shaking herself silly, so I turned on a loud war movie so she couldn't hear the thunder practically over the booms on the tv. (luckily I was working from home today) You could see her perk her ears up and try to distinguish between the two sounds. My goal was to make her not be able to do that and she finally gave up and went to sleep. She always sleeps really sound after being scared.
Course I had to put myself to not available for any phone calls as I couldn't hear a thing over the tv either. That is so not my home work pattern. I don't usually have any tv on or particular distractions going on as work takes my full attention when I'm in that zone. LOL
I feel for Mel who had a site go down right before vacation. That really is harsh timing.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Laundry eh, I'll be doing that this weekend too.
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Hi Sharlene,
I hope the storms blow through as fast as they blew in so Molly's tummy can finally start to settle. It is awesome that through it all she still wants to play!:D Big hugs to you both! XXXXXXXX
Sharlene:
So sorry to hear Molly is getting the same environmental stress as Tipper. This is a record where we live for like 3 weeks of rain and storms every day. This is definitely not doggie friendly weather. Blessings
Patti
Sending hugs and prayers for Molly's tummy, that can be the hardest part...and thanking you so much for all the help you give others and myself...
Hi Sharlene
Just wanted to check in and say hello and thank you for changing the wording on my thread(think it was you).Hope Molly is feeling better and that the thunderstorms have passed.Love that she runs around and acts like a pup!:).Have a great weekend!!
Love,
Patty
Hi Patty, it wasn't me. :) Someone changed it, but I checked to make sure it had been changed as soon as I saw your request. It is totally understandable.
Hugs,
Sharlene
So I used the PetzLife peppermint spray on molly's teeth tonight. I am going to give the gel a try in the morning. I'm amazed the little miss let me spray her teeth but she did, then she ran around snorting for a bit. Didn't seem to really mind it all too much and did some lip smacking .
The first time is always the easiest. The next time they're ready for you. LOL
She knows that I tend to go poking around in her mouth though taking a look at her teeth. She doesn't particularly Like it, but I guess she just thinks it's one of those weird things that mom's like to do. hehehe
Stay tuned, this is bound to be interesting. :)
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Yes please keep us informed on the latest developments!:D LOL
Sharlene:
I must have missed something here. Is there a specific reason beyond bad breath that Molly is getting the peppermint spray? I was surprised when Tipper left me spray in her nose that time when the vet suggested that nose spray. I think at times they do realize we are struggling to help them! Blessings
Patti
Hi Patti,
It's a reduce tarter spray that Lisa says she has been using for years with her dogs and that it works, so I'm trying it.
I bought the peppermint but it comes in other "flavors"
Sharlene
I think I may have to try some of that spray Sharlene. Im going to look into it. Trixie is a total pain and doesn't let me get in to those teeth with anything lately. :D I feel like I might be able to hold her mouth open long enough to give a quick spray...until she's figured it all out..like you said! ;)
Did Molly's tummy calm down? Everything back to normal??
Barbara
Molly's tummy Was normal again yesterday morning. :)
However, then we got the HUGEST thunderstorms ever, flooding, power outages.
It is a mess here still and Molly was terrified and I couldn't calm her down. I tried bathroom, etc, then our basement started leaking in one area and molly followed me downstairs. I couldn't keep her upstairs, so I was trying to take care of that and hold her in one arm. Fun times.
Finally hubs got home and she was much better with him. I think my nerves were shot too, so it was making her worse
Of course then we had the runs this morning. Hopefully today will be better. We at least have power back at our house now.
Hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin
Oh Sharlene! I saw the weather reports from Toronto on the news first thing this morning. Hope all is getting better today. Those floods looked terrible!! Poor Molly....the weather has such an impact on the pups.
Glad you are back on the grid...hope things are settling down with Molly.
Barbara
man.. you need to send some of those storms to Texas. We are dry as a bone over here. Poor Molly & her thunderstorm stress. Tell her to bark it over my way.
.
Hey Sharlene, best of luck with the teeth stuff, sounds interesting, and also glad that Molly's tummy has calmed down, now if we could just get the weather to be nice, hugs!!
Crikey, you sent the weather to me Sharlene!! It is bucketing down here, I will not be surprised if we have flooded areas tomorrow as well. How scary for you though with the power going out. Flynn is like Ho Hum... can't do much about this and has taken himself to his bed and off he goes to sleep! But we had quite a sharp earthquake a couple of days back, I did not feel it as I happened to be driving at the time, but everyone said it was a nasty one. Not stuff falling over nasty but quite a jolt nonetheless. In the past earthquakes have not bothered him, but Dad said this one made him leap up and run towards the door so it must have given him bit of a fright :eek::eek: But apparently a pat of reassurance from Dad was all he needed and he was right as rain!
Sharlene:
Sorry Molly is experiencing the same horror as Tipper with these storms. Tipper pants so bad, that I get scared because of her heart murmur. I hate to think of it since we just had another storm this morning, but it might come your way. I have long searched for something to sound proof a box or something that Tipper could go into when it storms, but you would need ventilation for it too, and that is beyond my scope of knowledge. I have even looked for sound proofing material for my closet to put on the walls. Hope Molly ahs a good day today. These poor babies have enough going on, without storms making it worse! Blessings
Patti
I sure wish the rain would even out between our countries & states. You could probably set my yard on fire with a magnifying glass it is so dry.
I hope all the pups get a break from the nerve racking weather soon.
Hope the rain stopped as well as the runs:eek::eek:
Sharlene--I'm wondering where that cool Canadian air is!? When I hear the weatherman say that we've got cool air coming in from the North then I know relief is in sight. But he has not said that yet...not for a few weeks! Send it down already will you!!?? ;)
Barbara
Well drat, I don't know where it is. It looks like it might not get a good change to the north till after midnight tonight, then the temp will drop a bit.
Can you believe we are under another Severe Thunderstorm Watch. Hoping watch is all it is. I'm Watching the skies and if it starts to darken up, then I'll head out with Molly for a walk before any rain gets here.
I posted a couple pictures of the flooding at the bottom of our street on Monday. Just wild to see that here.
You know I was trying to blow that stuff all down to Arizona where they need it. Seems like I might have missed and hit New Zealand. Not sure how, as they aren't anywhere near each other or even the same directions, but it's K9cushings! Anything can happen, any time.
ROFL
hugs all,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Skies are getting dark, so I ran to the store for some tea (got to be able to brew some jugs of tea) and then took molly for a walk. Some of the areas in southern Ontario have now been upgraded to a warning instead of a watch. I'm going to get hold of a friend down there and see how bad it is.
I think we got off lucky with our basement. We had water in laundry room and one bit of a storage room is all. He saw me walking Molly and stopped his car, said they had gotten 100% flooded out in the basement, and have to replace carpeting, mattress a whole bunch of things. So, I count us as lucky.
Sharlene and molly muffin
Yes please blow it down here and the cool weather too.... over 90 days without measurable rainfall. :)
Sharlene:
No more tornado warnings, it is thundering the rolling kind and it will not stop. Tipper has about had it. She has panted a huge wet spot on my closet floor. This just has to go away, I am afraid of her heart being so stressed. Blessings
Patti
I hope you and Molly are managing to stay dry. I bet you're having a hard time getting the princess out to go potty. Royalty just doesn't go out in that stuff!:D I hope those nasty thunderstorms haven't totally freaked out poor little Molly or her mom. Big hugs,
We are still looking for that rain in Southern California! Please route it directly to us next time.;)xxxxx
Yay, the storms split us! So, both sides got us, within a few miles, but not our house. :) Molly had a nice walk actually, when went out at around 10pm, the wind has switched to the north and it was cooler. So that was nice. Hopefully some of the others will benefit from it too.
You bet the queen bee was happy about it. LOL
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Crikey, that's a lot of water on the roads in your photos... glad it missed you this time. Ours stopped about lunchtime, I had to dodge some pretty big puddles on the way to work but nothing like that!!! Glad you escaped with only a little damage xx
Sharlene: So glad the storm missed you. It did hit us in Nashville, TN. Probably not the same storm. We lost half of a Bradford Pear tree and all the technology stuff went off and the telephones, but we can live with that. Everything is back on now except my security camera and I cannot get it back for some reason, but that is a small thing compared to others in the area. Stay dry. Love, JoAnne
So glad that you and Molly are getting some walks in, stay dry!!
Hi Sharlene and Molly-We had over 2" of rain yesterday and I haven't been able to get outside to check the rain gauge today but I'm guessing it was 4" or better. It poured all day long. Fortunately the Town came through at the beginning of summer with Rotor Rooter and blew out all the drain pipes and it has made quite a difference in how water is drained away in our neighborhood. There are still areas with major problems and we still had flooding, but nothing like last years' flooding. By this evening most of it had drained back down. We had water running down the street at a rate like I've never seen before. That's a good thing. It had to be going somewhere.
Sharlene-I probably asked this before, but what breed of dog is Molly? She is so very cute!! And how old is she? How did you get her? I could probably find that if I read back far enough in your thread.....but I figured I'd ask, first. :)
Hugs!
-Susan
Hi Susan :)
We had the extreme rain on Monday. Not fun for a lot of people. Yep, they had the canoes out there. One of the GO trains was flooded and the people had to be rescued by boat. It took hours and hours. Two people I know were on that train and removed by boat.
I'm really glad to hear that things went better this year with the flooding situation where you are at.
Molly is we think a cross of shih tzu and llahso. She was a rescue from Quebec. She was 11 months old, terrified little girl when we got her, over 9 years ago. Now she is a fiesty little thing that loves to be home best of all and with us, her pack. She's very much our baby. :)
Stay dry!!
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Sharlene:
Canoes? Oh my goodness, what an ordeal those people went thru. Hope your weather is going to get better. All this extreme weather all over the globe makes you wonder why they made fun of Al Gore with his global warming. Have a good weekend with Miss Molly. Blessings
Patti
Hi Sharlene
Hope your weather has turned a little more summery but without the horrible high temps I have been reading about! Hope your having a nice weekend and Molly is continuing to get her way!! She has such a talent for getting her thoughts across to you :) xxx
Hi Sharlene,
Just dropping in to check on the princess and her mom. I hope all is well. Have you dried out from all the rain? You probably should get get busy building that ark, so it'll be ready the next time. I'm sure that your husband would like to organize a weekend project!:eek: Big hugs,
Sharlene:
I have all the animals if you have the wood! We better get busy.
Blessings
Patti
We had some thunderstorms roll through on Friday, but it hit cottage country the hardest this time. Hubby said that there were a lot of branches down on his way home from work. The good thing is that it came in, rolled through and left our area. Not sure if he wants to take on an Ark project, pretty sure he doesn't, but if this is the weather pattern going forward, then might need to. :eek:
It is going to take a long time for some people to get cleaned up from the flooding mess. Several basements were completely ruined in the city, especially on our end of town. You can see tons and tons of furniture and carpet, drywall have been pulled out of homes and now everywhere you look it seems that renovation and carpentry crew trucks are pulled up and hard at work. Two in friends homes within sight of our house, so I consider us to have been very lucky. :(
Now we have lovely sunshine and some north winds so low humidity. Just perfect. Till Monday, then we get more humid for a couple days. I hope that made it down to Ohio and New York and you guys cooled off a bit. :cool:
Since it was such great weather yesterday we have been outside. Molly is good with this kind of weather, without the humidity, and loves to sun herself on the patio, so I'll be giving her plenty of outdoor time yesterday and today. :p
Molly has become pretty demanding lately and I think it's because the humidity has kept her cooped up in the house too much. She doesn't want me outside at all without her, so even if I am doing something in the front yard, I have to put her on the leash and bring her with me or she cries the entire time I'm outside and runs back and forth scratching at the door. I don't let her off leash out the front at all. She is not trustworthy and I won't take chances with her. The back yard is good, she can run and carry on all she wants, but again, there is an in ground pool so she isn't allowed to be out there without someone with her. Then if she gets tired of being outside and wants in, she thinks that I need to come in too. We are having a battle of the wills here I think.
Thanks for checking in on us :)
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
