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

hi Sharlene,
So glad Molly got to be out and sniff around for all the news!! Trixie did the same. So many dogs in the park this morning and they were all very nosy!! ;) It was actually pretty windy here but not too cold. Colder tomorrow and some snow due on Monday. We will head to the park again in the morning and get this girl off the leash again for some good exercise, she loves it.
So glad Molly jumped up on the couch! Her back must be feeling better! Yay for that!!
Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend. It just goes by too quickly doesn't it!? :rolleyes:

Barbara

Daisy got out too. It was 60 degrees an sunny!
We're so over winter already.

Considerably colder today. Hoping the sun comes out.

Hi Sharlene:
It is cooler here this morning, and I saw then news and they said 50 and 54 for Tuesday and Wednesday. This will be good dog walking weather. Tipper had a bad note, which in turn is giving me a bad morning! Hope your snow is melting like ours is. How is Molly doing with her back? Hope it is all better. Blessings
Patti

Temps here yesterday were around 5C so everything was horribly melting and muddy - Henry played on the snowbanks but they were a bit soft so he kept sinking, but at least he stayed clean.
Today is colder :) but very, very windy :(
Great to hear that Molly is able to jump on the couch without any pain.

10C I think it got to hear yesterday, or maybe that was the other day, but I think it was yesterday and so, muddy fuddy for my white molly. LOL However, last night, we dropped to, I don't know, -12 or so and it has been that way all day today and down to about -16 or so tonight. Now it's a challenge to walk on the melt that turned to ice on the sidewalk. arggghhh

She doesn't jump up a lot, I think now she thinks she isn't suppose to or something, so doesn't. She's doing good though for now, so I'm really happy about that.

hugs

It was 94 degrees here today. Blowing some hot air your way! ;):D xxxx

94 degrees Fahrenheit equals 34.4°C . :D

Cruel Kathy!!! Family posted pics from beach in Santa Cruz today. Kids in bathing suits having a blast. I was ready to start looking at plane tickets. Hahaha

Sharlene

Sharlene:
Kathy sure knows how to torture us. Get me a plane ticket too! Hope you are thawing out up there. We have another cold morning here. I will be glad to be able to take these dogs out to potty without having to put boots and a coat on! I hope summer does not have weather as crazy as this winter has been. Does Molly mind the hot weather like most of the Cush dog? Tipper can't hack it especially not good on her heart so I have to watch that too. Blessings
Patti

Me too I want a ticket, I,m sick of the wind and rain although it has stopped tonight and it is quite mild so fingers crossed for a better day tomorrow.

Happy to hear Molly isn,t jumping up and is feeling much much better :D

It was only 29C/84F yesterday, so Kathy is beating us already! That is quite hot enough for me, I don't like it over 30C, too hot~ x

I like below 30C too and above 15C is nice. :)

Hope everyone is having a lovely Saint Patricks Day and has their "green" on. :)

hugs
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

I have my green on! It was chilly and rainy here all day. Second rainy day out of ninety. I think we won't complain. It's supposed to return to beautiful tomorrow. I'm glad Molly is returning to more like her ol self. Bailey got sick this morning. She does that periodically. She is itching really badly. I think we'll need to squeeze in a vet visit when we get back to BB and before we leave on the cruise. I think she's due for some shots anyway. There was 6" of snow at BB last night. Not exactly enticing me home!

Anything over 25C sees me running for an air conditioned room, and more than 30C equals hibernation!
The whole melt / freeze thing isn't fun so take care.

Well here we are, still cold, but walkable. Molly found mud, she's happy. :)
However, loose poops, and so back to the florafora I guess to see if that helps her out. I don't want another episode like we had last year! She was also a bit off her food (except for the "good stuff") this morning, but tonight seems to be eating fine. I'll keep an eye on the little miss.

Freezing rain, then regular rain predicted for here tomorrow. We'll be pulling out molly's rain coat it looks like. (she hates it worse than the regular coats) LOL

hugs all
Sharlene and molly muffin

Sharlene:
Sorry you are still having cold. We are to get rain this morning so I need to get Tipper's cap collar on. The weather said possible thunder, so I am worried about her. I hope we get to the vets and get the blood pressure done before it starts.
Blessings
Patti

They had 6" of snow at BB. YUK. A neighbor sent me a picture of the town clearing the cul-de-sac with a back hoe (with a blade on front.) Can you tell we don't usually get snow?:rolleyes: It looks like I'll be heading back to 40 degree weather. :( YUK!! I'm getting my long johns ready to go now.:eek:
-Susan

Thinking about you and Molly. Hope she starts feeling better.

Hi Sharlene,
How's Molly tummy?? Poops better yet?
Trixie had some bad ones-(not terrible but not good) late Saturday and Sunday...I went right on to the white rice/chicken meals for a few days and a two doses of metronidazole which did the trick. She's been fine since but I'm always on edge with her digestive system.
I hope Molly is okay today and getting back to normal.
Torrential rain here right now and my husband hasn't taken Trixie out yet. :( We're hoping it will let up a little soon as it's late...but so far it just seems to rain harder! Ugh...I hope we can get her before midnight!

Barbara

Hi Sharlene

Gawd not bad poops again, I hate that with a passion. Hope it is short lived and she is right as rain and out getting muddy and enjoying her walks! xx

Sharlene:
I hope Molly is feeling better and her poops are better? What do you think started this? Well we woke up to snow!! I was wondering if you got it too? Blessings
Patti

Her poops are better, but as firm as they could be, still not bad like the other day either, so in between?

Not sure what started it, other than I'm waiting on her liver support meds to come in and she can't walk as far on every walk because of the ice out there. Just not sure. You know molly gets these gastro upsets and it's always baffling what brings them on.

No snow for us today. I think tomorrow night maybe. I'm stuck in crazy land at work, so haven't been online much as usual this week. Read and dash. :) Hopefully next week will be better. :) I wish it was friday night instead of only thursday, but one more day to go!! Then Monday will probably be a bugger too.

hugs all,
Sharlene and Molly muffin

Yay for better poops, sometimes there just isn,t any obvious reason for bad poops.

Great there is no more snow. We,ve had that much rain in the last two days that the river is really high, so I had to put sandbags down along the front of Mac,s owners house as they live right on the river, can,t have them flooded while there on holiday. Did my back in doing it so some heavy duty painkillers for me. :D

Sharlene:
Oh here we go again, snow next week!!!!!!! Molly will probably not be able to get a good walk in until August the way this is going! Blessings
Patti

hahahaha, snow tonight for us, but then a quick shovel in the morning and it should be melted in the afternoon.
It's that melt/freeze combo that is doing us in right now.
Today though - WE WALK we have a melt going and so molly and I hope to have a nice walk this afternoon.

She is back on the florifora probiotic for the moment, poops okay but I'll keep her on it for a few days to make sure.

Do something fun and pleasant for yourself and your furbabies this weekend everyone!!! Just one thing at least :)

hugs all,

Sharlene and Molly muffin

After Hamish had the tummy upsets from the Blue recall food I started giving him a tiny amount of pure pumpkin with every meal - he loved it and it definitely seemed to help.
4C here today so Henry and I are playing indoors because a walk will mean a bath and neither one of us it keen to do that ;)
It's the ice show tomorrow so I get to spend the day at the rink whilst Henry and OH have a boys day!

I will take your advice and do some good things Sharlene! Me: hot cross buns for breakfast, a new hair do today and lunch at a lovely café on the beach for a work colleague's baby shower tomorrow!! Flynn: Walk in the dog park as he is being a menace combing the beach for fish and ignoring his mother!

Today Molly had walkies and played in the mud and became a Mess for sure, but had a good time.

Hubby survived his interview the cbc today and his bruises are fading. He isn't a fan of public speaking. lol

I'm going to pamper myself tonight. If we get snow, then we'll play in the snow in the morning (molly and me and hubby, maybe our friends and molly's westie friend, maggie, too) :) :)

Good idea about the pumpkin! Good luck tomorrow at the ice show!!!

Everyone else chip in with the 'Addy, one good thing a day'!!!!

cheers gang
Sharlene and Molly muffin

Hi Sharlene,
First off, thank you so much for always keeping track of me and Jasper and the constant support you provide for me and others on the forum. You are a doll! I don't often post on Molly's thread but want to let you know that I appreciate your support. :)

So I take it that Molly is feeling better if she is tromping through the mud?! Are her poops better now? We had about an inch of snow a couple of nights ago but it melted the next day. It is supposed to be cold and windy for the weekend, but anything is an improvement at this point.

I am doing some good things too. The main thing is getting some relaxation in today, and plans for lunch with my BFF tomorrow!

Big hugs from me and Jasper, and Shelby too xo

Hi Sharlene, so happy to hear Molly poops are better, I hope today it improved even more. I am glad your hubby got through all that!
Hugs!

Why has hubby got bruises, did this lead to his interview? Have I missed something? Sounds interesting! :)

Ohhh just checked the weather app and it is snowing for you and -1C, eek, Addy is much warmer at a balmy 3C!! The time has changed you are now 7 hrs ahead of me, (minus a day) or I guess 17 hrs behind :D:D LOL I get so confused, soon it will be 8 hrs ahead as we have not changed back yet. Stink, I will probably hardly every see anyone for the long cold winter months :cool:

hahahah, yes you will. Remember we did mange to keep up last year. :) We all seem to have some crazy hours eh.

The deal with hubs is that he doesn't really like interviews and public speaking, etc and this was an interview for a story being done by the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) and he had the nerves before it, filming, lights, reporter. So I had texted him afterwards and asked him how it went and if he was a rock star. He responded that, bruises are fading, think I'll live, no groupies to be found, not rock star. I did hear that they took his wheels away from both him and the reporter. (the chairs in the boardroom have wheels and both of them were tending to move back and forth, which I think might have made the camera man feel a bit drunk, so he went went and got two chairs without wheels and made them sit in those.) hahahahahaha

Molly and I had a grand time playing on the floor last night. We played ball till she was pooped out and needed a nap. Then we lay together on the floor and watched tv, well I watched, she rolled around and got loved on, which was fine for her. So, alot of good quality time and this great!

The snow was just a dusting and is already melting, so no playing in snow today. Tonight is suppose to be -11C!!! yikes. I just keep telling myself to get through this week and then spring Must be right around the corner. hahaha. I'm hoping anyhow!

I have to go pick up molly's liver supplement today. Then I think I'm going to some things off Amazon for her, because you know, a girl has to shop and molly designates me as her personal shopper (diva that she is). :)

have a good weekend all!
hugs
Sharlene and molly muffin

You go Molly.
Hugs Sonja and Angel Apollo

Well there was around 5cm of snow when we left the rink this evening, and it's continued to fall so not sure how much we'll end up with. Fortunately we took Henry out for a nice long walk this morning so he's currently relaxing and watching TV :)
Ice show went well - I made a shaky start after doing great in the practices.....

Hi Sharlene,
Did you end up picking out some things for Molly on Amazon??
How are her poops?...all firmed up by now, I hope. Freezing weather here today too...not so bad in temperature but the wind...very, very windy and making it feel so cold!
Has Molly been spending time up on her window seat lately? I hope she's keeping an eye out for Spring...supposed to be here already but definitely running late! :p

Barbara

Sharlene:
We are looking at some rain, real gloomy out. I saw the weather and snow for Sunday are they serious???? Tipper is restless, and wanting to walk. Maybe we can get one in before the rain starts. How are the poops doing with Molly? Hope she gets some walks in this weekend. Blessings
Patti

Well Molly couldn't find anything she couldn't live without on Amazon, so I just ended up picking up some joint supplement for her. Not sure if she'll like that or not. LOL

No rain here yet, but suppose to get some today and tomorrow. Our temps are finally suppose to be warming up. Lovely, I hope we can find the sun again too.

I think the poop issue is associated with food. I'll be making some changes and checking them twice. :)

hugs all
Sharlene and molly muffin

Well as you typed we are having a mini snow storm and it's windy. I think I should head down your way as suggested. This is just ridiculous.

We got some joint supplements for Hamish that smelt extremely fishy so he absolutely adored them (and they could clear sinuses at 50 paces!!) - hope Molly's pills are similarly received.

Oh Molly your not such a diva not finding anything on Amazon :D

Hope the food change works and you can stop poop patrol, I remember that well I was on poop patrol for the last 2 months of Woodys life and I still find myself checking Macs lol old habits die hard :eek:
