No way!!! really??? that is shocking. You might be in for a hot summer at this rate.
We're finally above freezing here, had some snow flurries this evening, but nothing stuck as it was 3C, now we have rain.
I'm just glad it's not snow and ice. I'll take above freezing any day of the week. :) When we went out for out last walk of the night, we met a neighbor out walking their dog too. We both commented that we hadn't seen each other all winter, where as normally we run into each other around 10pm all the time. So, I guess that things are getting back to normal again here.
Sharlene and molly muffin
finally out of hibernation for you and your neighbor!
hope the weather will stay this way so the snow and ice can melt.
i am not a summer person and neither are my dogs.
so hopefully not a hot summer...........
Hi Sharlene:
Are you getting the wind up there? It is really bad here. Hope you and Molly got out a bit. Tipper walked twice and is resting. Tipper was up last nite because of the wind and rain, so she actually slept in this morning!! Blessings
Patti
It is warm and windy out. We are waiting for the snow to start later. Are you supposed to get any? Have you been able to walk Molly? Any after affects from the back injury or is that all finished? Is Molly jumping etc. like before it happened? It is hard to keep Tipper from jumping on the bed even though I got the ramp. I would have to put a barrier around the whole bed. Tipper got one good walk in today. She has been sleeping more than normal the last two days and that concerns me. I have to go see Delora tomorrow, she is miserable and crying. I do not want to go into a nursing home, as my immune system is really compromised and I get anything out there. I must go as I feel really bad for her. I hope I do not run into the evil son! Blessings
Patti
No wind here really yesterday, just a breeze. Today we are just cloudy with some scattered flurries later this evening and then tomorrow, sun and warmer (or cloudy and warmer, it's always a crap shoot) lol
Molly has been having good walks with the snow melted. We don't over do it or go very far these days, not like we would have a couple years ago. She gets tired and I'd end up having to carry her back. That happens sometimes in the summer if it is too hot and we go too far. :) :)
I think her back is good, I don't know that it will ever be As good as it was. She jumps for her treats, she sometimes will jump on or off the couch, usually she'll wait for a lift. She occasionally goes down the main floor stairs, but only once or twice as she gone up them since hurting her back.
Molly quite a long time ago, stopped being allowed to jump off the bed. Not that I'd trust her if I weren't in there with her, but she knows that I go to the end of the bed and say, lets go and put my arm straight out and she will run across the bed and jump on my arm, throwing both her front legs over the arm and waiting for the "lift" off and either down to the floor or carry down stairs.
You do know we are here to serve Molly right?? !! :) :) :) :)
We had a lovely sleep in this morning, hubs brought me coffee in bed and my ipad so I stayed even longer and molly took one look, flipped over on to her back and went straight into snore land.
Hope everyone has a good day!
hugs
Sharlene and molly muffin
Off course you are there to serve Molly :D I love the way she just throws her legs over for a carry. Like you I was always wary of Woody,s back after he hurt it, he was never allowed to jump for his ball anymore or do big zoomies in the garden for too long just incase.
A lovely lye in is great, Mac was up at 6 am this morning and I was like its Saturday go to sleep but nope we had to get up, maybe I shouldn,t have learned him my routine lol :D
Those back injuries are such a nuisance for them... Flynny won't jump into the car, but he does jump out. Can't get on my bed either, it is one of those high ones though but he likes sleeping in his own bed anyway. Most of the time he can do the couch, but sometimes he just puts his paws up there and waits for me to lift his butt. He hurt his back many years ago and I notice there are times when it must bother him just like us humans that have ongoing residual back ache.
Awww lovely brekky in bed, top marks for hubby!! xx
Sharlene:
Hope you did not get dumped on like us. We have 5 inches of snow on top of a days rain. I am hoping in the is the last snow of the season!! Blessings
Patti
No snow here. We are currently at 45F and nice and sunny. The back yard is especially nice facing the south, and the front is cold, facing the north. It's so different, it's funny really. If you walk out the front, you likely will want a jacket and if you go out the back, you can be in a t-shirt just fine on the deck. Weird huh. :) Needless to say I am out the back not the front.
We should be in the 50's tomorrow with sunshine. Too bad I have to work. :)
We're still going to be cold at night, but it's not too bad. I think maybe one evening they said we might get snow, but that could change by the end of the week so I'm not worrying about that either. :)
Molly is loving this weather and we had a nice walk with one of her dog friends at around 11:30pm last night. You never know when you'll run into someone out dog walking around here. :)

Sharlene and molly muffin
How nice to have the South facing back yard! All of my main rooms face South...so I have sunlight streaming in all day (if it's sunny!). It heats things up a little too much in the summer but no complaints when I have such a bright and sunny apartment!
I bet Molly will have a spring in her step if you are getting some nice moderating temps like we are. It's a welcome change for sure. I do like the change of seasons though...I'm not a winter hater, I like the snow too but I guess this winter tested everyone's resolve! It was a rough one, but I'll take it over the 3 H's we get here in the summer though...hazy, hot, & humid. Boy I hate that stuff!! ;) Still no resolution to my missing Vetoryl shipment...everyone's been nice but no one is helpful! Ugh.
Barbara
I don't mind snow, but I hate ice and these really awful cold temperatures. I'm not a big fan of humidity either. We get a bit of it here too.
Molly had a fine ole time tonight. The closet door in the foyer was open and she managed to get 6 pair of shoes out and scattered all over the foyer. I had shoes everywhere. Then we had the grand argument as she was getting brushed and her bangs trimmed about brushing her tail. She hates to have her tail, brushed, touched or any any way messed with. Just a pain about it. I won though and the tail is finally brushed and puffy. In fact she is a fluff muffin all over right now. But lord does she ever let out the toots when she is getting brushed and doesn't want to be. Girl can clear a room, so cute and yet so deadly. Pranced just fine on her walk though, came home, had her joint supplement (i got the new order of cosequin in today) and is now in nap mode. Not real sure what she did that exhausted her so much!! LOL Probably the argument over the tail. LOL

Sharlene and molly muffin
Letting out all of that air in protest can be exhausting :)
I had too, just HAD too.
:D:D:D:D Oh Molly...MY GOODNESS!! That is too funny, guess you're brushing all the air right out of her!!
She's tired from being a diva....a gassy diva apparently!!
Trixie doesn't bother with shoes much...but if there are socks in them she's interested!!
Barbara:)
Sharlene:
I was just about rolling on the floor with your description of Molly passing gas. You are going to have to wear a gas mask next time. We hit 67 yesterday!!! Tipper feels so liberated walking 3-4 times a day. We just did our last walk and she is resting. I have to give her credit,nwith all the issues she has she still goes out there and does her thing. Blessings
Patti
just love hearing about Molly.
Hugs Sonja and Angel Apollo
Hahaha, oh Molly! :D
Hi Sharlene
Your dog has a shoe fetish :D:D:D, always good for a smile reading your thread!! Hope you have had a good week and might catch up on the weekend seeing as you are all keeping very unsocial hours now and no one is ever here when I peek in :( xxxxx
My fiance has one too. Last count, I have a minimum of 300 pair of shoes.
I didn't tell Squirt about Molly's attack method! Squirt has enough ideas on her own without adding room clearing gas! How funny that Molly is! :p
Sharlene:
Getting ready for the damaging winds and storm. I have given Tipper melatonin and she has her dap collar on. I pray this does not upset her this early in the season. I can hear the wind starting up, Tipper thankfully has finished her walks Hope you dont get this!! Blessings
Patti
I tried to post the other day, but couldn,t because of the haze surrounding your thread, otherwise known as Molly,s gas :D:D Love it. I hope little trumpet bum has settled down :p
OMG, I am getting caught up on Molly and was laughing about all the tooting, and then I got to this post and lost it! I busted out laughing out loud and both dogs flew off the couch. Trumpet bum, Lol. I love it. Molly "trumpet bum" Muffin. LMAO. :D :D :DQuote:

Hugs from me and Jasper, and a belly rub for the little girl :)
LOL Trumpet bum, if only! At least then there would be some warning! No, these are silent but deadly.
No worries Tina, hubby and I, one or the other have been known to jump from the couch ourselves and run out of the room, laughing and usually saying something like "Molly!!! My gawd dog, did that come from your body!!!"
She does have a shoe fetish, she loves shoes, preferably recently worn ones. She doesn't go for the chew, she goes for the trying to fit her entire body inside of one. She has been known to wear herself out and fall asleep with her head resting on the shoe, still dreaming of getting inside of it. You know the only thing she Will chew is a spike heeled shoe. Those are perfect for her to get her mouth around. (no I don't wear spike heels, I'd likely break my neck if I tried, so she doesn't get much of a chance, but guest beware!)
hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin
Oh Sharlene,
Molly would be in heaven on earth at my house! I must own almost 300 pair of high heeled shoes. All colors and styles.
We are also familiar with the phrase "did that actually come out of your body".
Amazing the chaos those tiny bodies can cause.
Sharlene:
Page two?? I don't see that often! I always find you on page one. Are you having the beautiful day in the 50s?? Tipper is loving this. I am so glad that darn test is over. She walked and is resting now. I hate that whacked out look they have after this test is done. I guess the results will be back Friday. Hope you and Molly get some walk time in today. Blessings
Patti
Are you sure all that wind is Molly? Could someone be blaming it on the dog? It has been known to happen! When I was growing up, my dad said that's what the dog was for. Just a thought. Lol :D:D
ROFL Kathy! Well if the shoe fits!!
It's been a pretty hectic time around here the last few days. Hubs was away, I'm working and doing some special projects, we have a new CEO that is either causing tons of anxiety or not enough, hard to tell, but it makes people pretty antsy. That leads to the trickle down effect I think. It's way too soon to tell what changes will occur but all departments seem to be on edge. Can't blame them I suppose.
Yes the weather is lovely here, for now. LOL The yard is cleaned up of all the winter mess and boy was there a lot of mess. hahaha
Molly is booked into getting groomed on Friday. We'll be able to see her eyes again!! I'm looking forward to getting her looking cute and less furry again. That stuff is horrid to try to keep the mats out of in this spring weather. Rain, mud, and white fur, with a harness, means we are in brush mode constantly and she was growling at me as I was trying to brush her ears the other day. I said, that's it, I'm calling her groomer, we both need to be saved. So I called the groomer and said, Deanna, it's Sharlene, SAVE me and molly! She cracked up laughing, but got us in this week. LOL I explained about mollys back and all to her, and she understands, having had two shih tzu's that had back problems too. Asked if I'd been sent to the doggie chiropracter yet. I was like, NO! and not going either. I'm fearful with that bone degeneration spot on her spine of any kind of manipulation.
Anyway.
Talk about a little diva. So I give her a couple bites of plain chicken breast on top of her dry kibble today. I looked over and notice that she had picked out the chicken breast and when she got a bite of the kibble in her mouth, she was turning her head and dropping it on the floor next to her dog bowl. I was like, Molly Muffin! You clean that up right now. LOL Well, she didn't right Then of course, having to have the last say and all, but when I checked later, she had eaten the stuff she'd spit out on the floor and then left the rest in her dog dish.
She grazes on her dry food off and on during the day. She has wet on top of it to get her to eat at all in the mornings and take her liver supplement. The she a bit of wet on it after her late afternoon walk to get her to eat a bit more.
She has Never had the cushing appetite that we all talk about, unless it's her decision. She scavenge for chicken though and go nuts if she smells me cooking meat in the kitchen, but really could care less most of the time about dry dog food. Go figure. I probably wouldn't want it either. LOL
So, I'm trying to stay as caught up as I can be on the forum, which doesn't leave much time for me to write on my own thread and you know, we're just doing the same as usual around here. :)

Sharlene and Molly muffin
Sharlene:
Aren't you the busy one!! Hope you and Molly get another nice day today. Blessings
Patti
I think Molly is getting vibes from Keesh about the food. His nibs acts the same way. If it isn't to his liking out goes the Kibble, then comes back later. My kitchen at times looks like a bag of kibble exploded. They are funny !!!
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
hugs
Sharlene and molly muffin
Sharlene:
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
Sharlene:
Tipper and I Ade sending you and Molly some of this sunshine and 60 s weather. Tipper is walking in between my spring cleaning! Blessings
Patti
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 :)
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!
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! :) :) :)
Barbara
Sharlene:
I hope the 70s are finding a way up to you. We are loving today,nbut Tipper is real jumpy from lower cortisol. We are enjoying walking in the sun!! Blessings
Patti
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
Sharlene and molly muffin
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
