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

Hi all,
Another funny story that Just happened with Molly and her daddy.
So, when dad comes home from work, he always grabs a treat and head for the couch, where molly meets him. He then proceeds to break off little pieces of the treat and say high five and they slap hand/paw. Molly is quite happy to participate in this little meeting of the minds they have going. He gives and she receives and they both know the game.

If he is lucky when they are done, she'll still hang out with him, but sometimes she uses him and leaves him in heart break, jumping down to go find the next adventure.

So today, after the treat is gone and she is still hanging out with him, he says high five molly. Nothing. High Five Molly, still nothing, she won't even look at him. This goes on for a bit and then finally he is holding his hand up, and she still not looking at him, puts her paw on his hand, like, Fine, are you happy now.

He cracks up laughing, saying this is the most begrudging high five ever. Lets try again. So he says High Five Molly and she puts her paw up, heading for his hand and almost there, she changes direction and brushes it over Her Eyes instead. I was rolling laughing and told him that Molly just totally faked him out.

I'd say she is doing just fine thank you and now she is curled up against his leg napping. :)

Life is good, so glad the weekend is here!!!

Cheeky little minx!

That is so cute, funny how they do anything for a treat eh!! I have been trying to teach Elle the Siamese to shake hands, not too successfully I might add. Using treats of course. She sits on her chair giving me her superior Siamese eye, while I am like "shake hands cat" waving a treat about.. the other night, Flynn came over to watch but I was not really concentrating on him and Mum is like ohhhh he breaks my heart... I glanced over and there he was with his little paw up in the air, already to shake hands with me with a look on his face to say "I know that contrary cat won't shake hands with you, but I WILL Mum" now "give me the treat!" :):)

Thanks for the high five-story Sharlene. It was priceless!:D
I love to read happy stories.:D

Hugs,
Kathy and Buddy:cool:

That's great :)
I love how each of them has their own personality and quirks.

Awesome story, and who says dogs aren't smart, goodness thats so funny!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Sharlene:
What a cute story. Molly has a special place in daddy's heart too! The things they do that are so precious, make you want to keep them forever. If it were only possible! Bllessings

My husband and Molly definitely have a special relationship. :)

He likes dogs and has taken in rescues and found them homes, but he'd never really had one of his own until Molly. He has always had cats. Tasha, my golden, sort of came with me as a package deal (along with the cat Tipsy) and she was already having a lot of problems because of the steroids, so he didn't get a chance to really Know her when she was a baby and all the great years when she was so playful and felt so good.

Molly he took to right away and hasn't let go since although when it comes to her treatment, vet visits, feeding, etc, he leaves to me. He is the one who will spoil her and give her whatever she wants though, even as he tries to be her alpha.

It's kind of funny to see really. There is a test of wills there sometimes and I'm never really sure who comes out on top. I have a sneaking suspicion it is molly though. hahahaha

Molly is happiest when we are both here together and she loves it when the kids are here or my Mother In Law. 5 - 6 people seems to be here happy pack level, anything more and she starts to worry about keeping everyone in line I think. LOL I think, that she thinks, that us humans are harder to keep in line than herding cats sometimes. So much work!!

Oh yes Patti, I'd have her forever if I could, but I know that isn't possible :( I live somewhere between realism and denial of the future. It's not a bad place. :) As long as Molly is having happy care free days and they aren't always like this, sometimes she doesn't feel so awesome and we adjust, but for the most part she is very good and happy and we are happy when she is.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Sharlene,
I don't know about you, but I plan on having Buddy with me forever!;). Yes, I am completely, happily, deluded!!!!:D. Your husband's relationship with Molly sounds adorable. :) It is incredible about how these little tiny bursts of personality completely take over our life. :) I'm thrilled to hear that Molly is doing so well and has all of her people family towing the line. Someone has to be in charge!:D

Hugs,
Kathy and Buddy:cool:

Hahahha, Kathy, it's a fine place to be that deluded space. Works for me. :)
Yep, we're staying in line. Behaving ourselves.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
