I so enjoy hearing about Molly's antic. She is a special girl and gives you lots of laughs and also all on this forum. CoCo is so possessive too, no one can get close to his fence without his running like a nut, sometimes on 3 legs, letting them know that is his property. Hope she does not have a UTI. Keep the laughs coming. Love, JoAnne
Lori, she didn't have anything different to eat that day. The last thing she had was her glucosomine treat, which I suppose could have caused the strong odor. (maybe)
Yes, Molly does like that tree and claims it as her own. It's the same one that she tries to get as high as she can to over ride, Eddie (the Newfoundland) from peeing on. She loves to hide behind trees and peak out to watch dogs and other people on the other side go by. I guess she thinks they can't see her or something. She certainly has her moments.
I don't regret getting her urine cultured, just wish it didn't cost so bloody much to do it. I always ask for a culture since she's had a couple UTI's before and if it is positive I want the right antibiotic for the bacteria and not a guess shot at which one to use. I've always said since this whole thing started, that I work for molly now. LOL As long as she needs tests done she'll get them.
I read about a bunch of you with dogs that don't sleep through the night and I'm really grateful that molly still likes her later mornings. If it's dark or rainy out, you can be assured that she'll be the last one out of bed and have to give it a good consideration as to whether she needs to go pee bad enough to go outside. Sometimes if it even looks rainy she doesn't want to go and I'll have to open the door and Prove to her that the rain stopped. She cock her head and listen and sort of stick her neck around both ways to make sure that her dainty self is not going to get soaked. She hates her raincoat btw and takes off a good run if she sees it coming out of the closet. Lord that dog, it keeps her dry, it doesn't interfere with any leg hiking or squatting, but nooooo, not for cup of tea at all. Oh did I mention that if we are outside by the pool in the summer, that she doesn't want to drink out of a dog bowl but the same blue plastic cups that I will have a drink in. So I have to fill hers up with water for her. (filtered from the fridge thank you very much) Boy did I get off track with this post. Sorry! LOL
Still waiting to hear back from the vet.
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Lori, Molly sounds like she has an awesome personality...I can imagine just watching her and giggling. Each pup is so different and has their own distinct personality that makes us love them even more. Wishing her and you the very best.
Love and Hugs, Sharon
Norman and Millie send licks :p and tail wags ;)
Sharlene,
I think Molly really wants a pina colada in that blue cup when she's out by the pool! :D
I hope the test results come back normal.

Yes, the vet bills are crazy! :eek: I spent two grand the first three days that Buddy was so ill!:eek: I hate waiting for test results too! Waiting seems to be the hardest part, because it keeps you in a holding pattern. Hoping only the best for Molly.
Yes, Buddy and Molly would definitely be quite a pair! The queen bee and the mighty lizard Hunter! :D hehehe
You obviously have been at my house with Buddy during a rainstorm! He is exactly like Molly! He won't step a foot outside if he even thinks it might still be raining. In an emergency when I have to practically shove him out the door, he will hug the wall under the overhang to make sure not one drip of water gets on him. He will then take care of his business lickety-split and shoot back through the door like his tail was on fire.:D
Hugs,
Kathy and Buddy:cool:
Shysie is a bit of a redneck hillbillie type gal i suppose. rain, mudd, snow when we lived in a state that had that, she would plunge right on through. She would look like a little mudd drop with eyes. Rain....she just races right on out running and splashing, and makes me who doesnt want to get out in it, chase her. She likes to find deceased insects like a fly, earth worm, etc and roll on them, sending me into a screaming nooooooooooooo dont do that sweeeeeeeeetheart, lol. she is one tough little girl i give her credit. she is the love of my life. :) now back to the pool and the blue cups............lol
Another here who loves the Molly stories, so feisty some of these wee doggies! :D I was wondering if the strong smell may have been to do with her fluid intake, if she had not had much that day it would be more concentrated and a bit more whiffy than usual! Post the results won't you so we can all have a gander! It takes a couple of days for the plates to grow any bugs, so pleased you have waited for that result before leaping into antibiotics.
I see that often with people who get put on an antibiotic just in case, there is no surprise we are ending up with so much resistance in the community. Unless humans are systemically unwell (eg fever, sick feeling) they should not have antibiotics (few exceptions there eg pregnancy) but generally should hold off until there is a positive culture with sensitivities so you can treat with appropriate antibiotics. Flynn so far has not had UTI trouble (touch wood) so I am not real up on this in doggies, but would imagine it would be similar. So my advice would be at this stage is to make sure she is drinking adequately to flush any bug out!! xx
hmmm, now that is an interesting point about the water. Molly drinking enough water has been a battle for years. She needs to, since she is prone to the crystals and it is why I have kept her on the SO food, even though I don't like it and it isn't nutritionally as good. (have to supplement in some protein) Without it she won't drink enough water to even get up to the recommended amount. So that could have something to do with it.
I agree completely Trish. I'm not a fan of giving antibiotics until needed and the right one for the right job for dogs and humans. I just figure as we get older, chances are we might need or they might need something as they become prone to more things and so should be careful when we aren't sure. However, if needed, they are wonderful tools to get rid of some of those nasty bacterial bugs.
Hehehe, Oh I'm sure she would love to get into a pina coloda in the summer. We have these acrylic wine and beer glasses for around the pool area in the summer and she definitely makes a beeline for them. No she doesn't Get any, she just tries. I think that she thinks anything in a glass must be most wonderful and of course she should have it. Rather like people food, she thinks that is surely better than anything in her bowl and will ignore her own food and wait (not very patiently either) to see if you are making these wonderful smells Just for her. (see picture in album of Xmas cooking, when she tried to convince daughter and her boyfriend to give her something) Cute is Very effective it seems.
That is funny Kathy. Buddy and Molly seem to be on the same wave length.
Aww, shysie is totally adorable, she's our fearless one. As is Flynn, who would be right there with her.
I'm convinced that Trixie is our marathon runner. That girl does a few miles and take a nap. Molly I'd have to carry home.
I love all the personalities of the furbabies on here. Each is so unique and completely adorable. How could anyone not just fall in love with them. :)
hugs gang!

So the vet didn't call today and I didn't get a chance to call her due to work. However, I'm pretty sure that the dog that just ran flat out as fast she could around the house for numerous times, with a stuffed toy in her mouth like a screaming banshee, does Not have a UTI or other type of infection. No way she'd feel that good. So that is a good thing and it was fun to see her playing so crazily. She is now in a gurmpy park mood, where she lays there exhausted from her romp and sort of does this Humrph humrph sound. (It's her complaining about something mode)
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
