hmm, did you give Keesh mollys phone number?!! Maybe they are comparing notes while we are working. LOL
Yes, another lovely day here, warm but windy as all get out! Anything not nailed down will be blown away I'm sure!!
That includes molly. She was pooped from fighting her way back to the house into the wind on her last walk. LOL

We have 40 mile an hour winds. The real icing on the cake is I heard the much dreaded word snow for Monday!!!

Hi Sharlene
How did Molly's hair cut go? Hopefully she is neat as a pin now and you can see her eyes again! Gosh your work sounds busy too, no rest for the wicked eh! Ohhh but we do all have holidays (Tracy and Me) or at least a long weekend to look forward too next week!
Funny that whole thing of feeling bad if you are cooking or eating something they cannot have. I love bacon, but Flynn loves it more so I try have it only if I go out for brunch and he is not there as do not like to torture the poor boy!! He loves chicken too, but that's a no-no... wow they must think we are cruel mothers!!
Have a nice weekend, I am sure I will catch up for a quick HI sometime! x

We had really high winds and rain today and the wind kept blowing Mac,s jacket up and almost over his head, he kept stopping so I had to take it off him. Much more of this rain and I will be growing webbed feet, its not stopped since November.
Hoping you and Diva Molly are good :)
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Yeah well it seems you have sent it down here, it has rained for a week. After such a nice March this month has been very wet! Poor Prince William and Kate are getting drenched everywhere they visit!
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Hi Sharlene,
haha :D leave it to your little diva dog to pick the chicken out of the kibble. I like how she just dropped the kibble bit out of her mouth like -yeah, you can have this back- !! heehee she's knows what's good!! Trixie will pretty much eat anything that's coming her way! I put down her plate..mostly freshly cooked cut up chicken with a side of canned food..she always eats the chicken first (obviously) then scarfs down the dog food. She never leaves a crumb and once the plate is clean she hunts around the kitchen for anything that may have fallen on the floor!
How did the grooming go? is Molly all ready for bikini weather!?? Any photos coming of the new cut?? :D For once our groomer actually shaved Trixie's back very short like I always ask for it to be! It's all velvety that way, and the cut lasts longer. I think at my groomers they never want to cut too short or you won't have to come back as soon as they would like you to!
Hope you all are having a nice weekend...3rd day in a row here of perfect spring weather and we're all loving it! :) :) :)

Molly's hair cut went well, she looks just like she does in every new picture when she is groomed. short with a full face. Until then, she looks like she did sitting on the yard picture, fluffy and hair everywhere. She runs away as soon as she seems a camera come out the little witch! I'll have to see if I can catch her unawares at some point. My groomer is so funny with her. She gets down on the floor and gives molly belly kisses and tells her what pretty eyes she has. I'm laughing the whole time and I said, I can never tell if you are grooming her or wooing her. hahahahah She was giggling and said, with molly it's a dual combination, you have to woo her a bit before you can groom her. She has been her groomer every since I've had her.
Right now, she is having a snooze in the sun on her rug. Snoring away as usual. That girl does like her nap times. She perks up when she decides to do so and not before. For instance, it's a 50/50 chance that if I decide to take a nap, she grab a toy and start huffing and puffing and/or barking at me (if I ignore the huff and puffs) until I get down and play with whatever toy she has in her mouth. This last for about 5 - 10 minutes at which point, she is done and I'm wide awake. Try to get her to play when she isn't in the mood (like before my nap) and she doesn't pay a bit of attention to you and puts on the full ignore, don't bother me mood.
The weather is lovely here today and yes, we too are in danger of way below freezing temperatures and snow on Tuesday. brrrr Molly has been walked this morning and we'll go again around 5 or so and then around 10pm. She always goes out at least 3 times a day, snow, rain, ice, sunshine, wind. No matter. She runs around and plays in the back yard if are out there with her.
hugs all, have a great day everyone

Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
This has been a sad day. We lost one of the neighborhood dogs to pancreatic cancer. His owner is just devastated. Lex was the cutest little guy, and one of molly's buddies that we walked with in the mornings during the summers. 8 am and out we would go and molly would see him coming down the street and he'd see her and they'd pull us to get to each other for a 10 second sniff hello, then proceed to promptly carry on their business while his owner and I chatted and she'd give molly treats, which everyone Knows is the way to her heart. She lives alone now in a big house and she is missing Lex something awful. We were both crying today, so over all, not a good day. It was a surprise and seemed to come out of nowhere. :( one day fine, then pancreatic attack, stopped eating and they discovered the cancer. He had always had regular checkups. His owner would never let him suffer and she said as soon as she knew that he was suffering, she went ahead and did what had to be done, even as her heart was breaking.
Think I'll go love on molly a bit more.
see you all tomorrow, need a break tonight
hugs
