Ooh - sounds like you were looking good. Hope you enjoyed your party today too - now, back to work for a rest - if only, eh ;)
Sharlene:
Hope your BBQ was a hit yesterday. Now reality sets in and it's back to work!!. How did Molly do for the BBQ does she mingle or stay in the house? We are looking at storms today again, so I have to be ready for Tipper's meds at anytime. Tipper had a good weekend with no storms so that was good for her. She continues to sleep in the closet though. Do you think because they want Tipper's fluids limited during her surgery it is going to cause liver issues? Blessings

Well, the stalker has returned :eek: Hubby is fairly sure he saw it early this morning, then it drove up / down the street a few times during the morning before returning to it's favourite spot outside our house around 12:30. I got some pics and called the police who said they'd send a car. Just after I spoke to them Hubby arrived home and as soon as I saw him turn into the street they drove off!! He said it was a well dressed middle aged woman.... so the police said it could be a private detective - if so, they're not very good given how noticeable they are making themselves!!
The police haven't mentioned running the license plate, but I'm wondering if they have and that's the reason they mention the detective, although if they had spoken to car owner / driver I'm surprised they would return here :confused:
Molly did fine with the bbq since it's all family and she knows them. She mingles on her terms, like while cooking and eating she was right there helping out. :) :) She also greeted everyone and had a good time and then she was done and went off to find a good spot for a nap.
The family just mentioned having a kid pool party when our grandson is here for Labor Day, and I think I will put molly in the kennel if that is a go, as a bunch of kids running around messing with her would not be a good situation. She is fine just with our grandson but I don't think a bunch would work out too well. (doggy day care is probable for that situation).
Oh wow the stalker is back. Didn't you say it could only be one other house that a detective would be checking out? They obviously know OH's car if they took off as soon as they saw him. hmmm... the mystery continues. I guess they think there is something on the street that they are interested in, but man, trying to figure it out is tough!!
I'm definitely pooped today. Long day at work after a busy weekend. I think we need a vacation! hahaha :) soon, very soon. :)
hugs
Sharlene and molly muffin
Doggy day care definitely sounds like the best plan for Molly if you have a kids party.
Well, the stalker returned around 30 minutes after OH went back to work, but only for a few minutes then they drove off and I haven't seen them since. However I've worked out that they can actually see two of our neighbours from their vantage point on the road, but only one of those from our drive (which may be a red herring) :confused:
I've convinced myself it's probably a private detective, which means they shouldn't pose a threat to us so I'll probably never know the reason....
Oh, and I did tell OH that I wasn't having him followed ;):D
Sharlene:
I think someone in this neighborhood is having a spouse watched. I think that is a good idea for Molly with many children coming it could be a bad time for her. Hope you are getting back into the work week ok. I remember those days of absolutely hating Mondays. Blessings
Patti
Sharlene:
I just saw the weatherman show how you guys are sending us some storms across the lake!!! Now what's up with that??? Tipper said she wants cool with no disturbances!! It is so hot and humid. Did you see that double tornado in Nebraska?? Hope this passes us by for Tippers sake. I wonder what your Molly does when it storms and you are at work? Tipper would have a hole dug thru the floor all the way to China! Blessings
Patti
I did see they had bad storms in Nebraska which made me worry for our Nebraskans on the forum of course. Tina I think is there. Isn't Kim also? not positive.
Yea, we have really dark skies, very warm out, big winds. Occasionally we have had a spurt of rain that lasts minutes at most. Molly is chilling and doesn't seem bothered so that is good.
I'm working on a big project this week for work, so have been burning the candle at both ends it seems and getting very little sleep. If I get silly I'm going to blame it on that.
Still finding time to play with molly though. : :)
hmm, maybe a spouse or who knows what, maybe insurance claim even.
hugs
Sharlene and molly muffin
Sharlene:
What a note, storms, hail as big as golf balls, wind, lightening, you name it we had it. I was on the front porch watching when the tornado came, I could see where it was as I was telling my neighbor the sky was all green. We had a struggle getting to the vets today. The roads were like lakes and it was storming like crazy. What a ride, the vet got to see what Tipper gets like! We talked over her operation. Hope you and Molly did not have this weather. Sounds like you
are working your brains out at work again! Tipper had a hard morning and she is napping in the cool air. Blessings
Patti
Hi Sharlene,
I hope you and Moly made it through your storms okay. and I hope Molly is doing well.
Looks like we are all having bad weather, hope you are ok. We had 5 and counting inches of rain. I have taken water out of the pool twice:rolleyes: The rest of the subdivision has no power, ha, it usually our side of the street but I finally got a break!!!
When do you leave for whale watching? I want to hide in your suitcase;)
yikes you must have gotten some solid downpours. We had one yesterday. Hubs came home in the middle of it and was drenched from car to house. Then when he got in, him and molly hung out on the couch while she had the shakes. Soon as the storm was over, she took a nap and was fine.
She currently has her dental bone and is chewing on it with her tail just wagging as fast as can be. That dog sure does get happy over those things.
Judi, Keesh's mom got a bad tornado up her way that did a lot of damage to about 100 homes. Missed her though thank god. Missed us too.
Eeek I hate losing power. Every since we had that big power outage throughout the entire northeast, I have said I need to get some solar powered items.
I'm working on it. I'll be getting some solar power flashlight, radio hopefully, now have a solar power speaker and phone charger. Slowly but I'm getting there. Item by item. :)
We leave next week, Thursday morning, but I'm taking the majority of Wed off too. Work is driving me nuts. LOL Everything feels so topsy turvy, one minute we're negotiating manager, then I hear they are cutting people and I will probably move to a different department but doing the same job, my Director is retiring so they are reorganizing, then I get more work projects thrown on my plate. A co-worker that is mostly a pain in the tush and a chip as wide as north ameica on his shoulder and I just want to scream. Hubs says I have to keep working at least part time though so we can retire some day, so there you have it. The good thing is that everything that doesn't go into the retirement fund goes into the molly fund. hahahahaha It's true, I work for the dog. Last month I was holding on to every cent hoping I didn't get cut, this month I just want to go see some whales.

Sharlene and molly muffin
Hi gang, well it's that time and I will be very limited online for the next 2 weeks, between work and the trip to newfoundland.
I hope you guy hope you all stay safe and healthy, you and pups, while I'm away. No crisis's allowed!!! Will miss you all.
Molly is having, an LDDS test again to check that nodule for secretion, IMS thinks it will come back negative. Another UPC to see if the high or the normal one is the real deal and she'll have her liver enzymes checked.
Meeting with the vet tomorrow to see what liver supplement to use. Turns out they don't seem to have anything with sam-e and milk thistle in it that she knows of, which I find hard to believe, so I'm researching tonight for an option here in canada. joy joy.
Take care all I'll peek in when I can!
hugs
Sharlene and molly muffin
HI Sharlene!!
Glad I caught you to say have a fantastic trip away!!! Sounds like such an awesome and fun trip to be going on!! I will try and keep Flynny away from crisis while you are away!
Is Molly in today having her tests?? Hope it goes well Sharlene, worrying time waiting for results so Flynn and me have our paws crossed!
Ask about Samilyn, that has both the sam-e and milk thistle in it. Take it from me, it is not cheap though!! I have had a talk with week with Mike, he is looking into them more too. Denosyl does not have milk thistle, Denamarin has both, but it is a little lower in strength than Samilyn.
Glad I caught you too have a fantastic time away. Hoping Molly's tests are all good :)
Have a wonderful trip Sharlene.
I used S-Adenysol-100 for Hamish because it had milk thistle, however I'm not sure if its available in Canada.
No, molly isn't have the test till while we are away, so I won't know results till we get back.
S-Adenysol-100 does have milk thistle in it. Interesting. The one my vet looked at didn't, maybe it wasn't the 100. I'll ask her tomorrow when we meet to discuss. I've already mentioned Denamarin, need to find out the maker of that, as I haven't found it available in Canada. Also will mention the Samilyn.
Thanks gang!
Sharlene and molly muffin
Sharlene:
My vet wanted me to use the S Adenosyl as he said it had more good benefits that the Hepato Support I was using?? I know a lot use the Denamarin, but I have never tried it. I hope your vacation is wonderful and you take some whale pictures for us. Wait Sharlene isn't that the week we are supposed to switch?? Haha. It is raining here if you can believe it. It was sunny all day. I told you Tipper went potty out in a storm the other nite with thunder and the works, tonite a raindrop beaned her and she was in a full panic?? I guess she may have lower cortisol tonite, which I am watching her like a hawk. We will miss you the next two week, so be safe and have fun you deserve it. Blessings
Patti
If I remember correctly I gave Hamish (around 15lbs) the S-Adenysol-100 (purchased from Amazon.com) plus Hepato Support because the total amount of milk thistle was below the total amount the bet said he could have. I need to see if I still have any records.....
hi sharlene, i hope you will see a lot of whales and other sea animals.
is molly coming with you, or is she staying somewhere?
hope you can relax a bit from all the work stress.
Yes I would like to know about the milk thistle too as I did ask my vet if I should still give it with the Adenosyl and he did not say. I used the 100 for Tipper too.
It's nearly time!!! Hope the packing is going well Sharlene!! I am excited for you both!! Have the camera handy, love to see whale/iceberg pics! xxx
Did I just read you are watching whales for TWO WEEKS?
WOW, you go girl, have a ball, I thought is was just for a long weekend!!!
I wish it was for 2 weeks, more like one week, but I have been absolutely swamped at work and have been working over time to play catch up before I leave and then expect more when I get back.
Like I am off work completely tomorrow but still have some conference calls I have to make. Oh well, it's a job at least :)
Now, the important stuff, whales, puffins, hoping for some icebergs too, found a lighthouse picnic, and an archeological site, that we plan to go to.
Molly got groomed today and heads into the kennel tomorrow. She looks very cute and clean.
Not packed yet. I'm told to pack for layer clothing attire from friends who have been. They have mentioned seal meat, moose meat and cod tongue. *shiver* I told them I might not eat at all if that is the menu!!! and who the heck knew cods have tongues anyhow???
laters gang
Sharlene and molly muffin
Ohhhhh a cod tongue would not be very big!! :eek: Seat meat just seems wrong to me :( But I might be tempted to eat a moose! Whatever you get to eat, I hope it is tasty!!! Gosh, you are going to need a day or two to get into holiday mode, then look out!! Hope it is relaxing and fun for you both! xx
Sharlene:
Enjoy your vacation you deserve it. Molly is all spiffed up and smelling good , now it is pouring rain! Every time I get Toby done it rains and he gets all messed up again. Blessings
Patti
Hope you have a fab, relaxing holiday and don,t worry Diva Molly will be fine :D
Sharlene
Have a wonderful vacation.
Hugs Sonja and Angel Apollo
Sharlene:
I know you are gone, but wanted to let you know you will be missed. I truly hope you see whales as they are such a wonder of nature and one does not get that many chances to see something so magnificent. Blessings
Patti
Sharlene have a wonderful and safe vacation! It sounds amazing!
Soooooo... you have written on just about every single thread except Molly's!!! How was the trip, how was her stay at the kennel? Is she in good form and happy to see you, how were the tests? Any iceberg, whales, lighthouse photos to share.... so many questions??? LOL... SO good to see you back Sharlene, I missed you!! Hope work does not suck too much when you get back there! xxxx
Hi Sharlene:
Just a quick post before Tipper and I go to the vet. I am so glad to see you are back and hope your time away was wonderful or should I say whaleful?? Blessings
Patti
I hope you saw many, many whales. Did you bring a plastic one home for the pool as a keepsake:D:D:D:D:D
We are back, trip was good, saw icebergs and whales, puffins. It's a bit of a rolly polly province, with some really big hills. Went to an archeological dig, that was cool, did some hiking, had the picnic at the lighthouse (inside since it was pouring rain!) I'll get some pics up hopefully this weekend and share a link.
Molly is Home!!! Yay, my house is not really "right" when molly isn't in it. For her a little dog, she is a very Big presence. I won't know about any test results until the vet calls me, hopefully today with results. She wasn't there yesterday, they were closed other than an hour for pick up, drop offs on Monday and Tuesday. (holidays ya know).
Molly lost a pound while there and I sure hope I can keep it off her, because she moves much better without it. She is full of herself, running all over the house, reclaiming her space. Snoring in all her good sleep spots. Not as firm of poops as she has been having but being in a kennel always gives her a bit of a gastro upset. As long as she didn't pick up any bacteria while there, hopefully that will right itself in a few days.
I am back to work today and sure to be a lot of stuff to catch up on, so might take just a bit to get it all caught up. :)
Miss you guys too!
Hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin
Now why didn't I think of a plastic whale for the pool!!!!!!! :) :) :) :)
Sharlene
Hi! Hope you're doing OK and had a nice trip! Thank you for the cold front that you sent down from Canada!! It's much appreciated!! :D:D:D
hahaha, any time Jo Ann. Sent from NewFoundland I'm sure since it had some chilly days there. We're in the hot and humid stuff at the moment. :) But yea, hear we'll get cooler towards the end of the week too.
Molly will like that much better too as she'll be huffing by the time we get back from our walks with this stuff!
hugs
Sharlene and molly muffin
Sharlene:
I know you had to go back to work, but I will be so thrilled to see your pics when you put them up. I am glad you saw all those things. The lighthouse picnic sounds fantastic. I am glad Molly is back and ruling the roost! I am guessing you will have her test results in the next few days. Hoping for good results for her. Thank you for checking in on Tipper. She was panting a lot at the vets too. Now she is resting in the cool sleeping away. It could be a rise in her cortisol and she gets her ACTH next week, so that will tell the tale. So glad to have you back, you were missed especially by me. Blessings
Patti
Thanks Patti. I'll try to get some pics up this weekend. The main problem is getting my husband to email me the ones that he took. He's always a bit lax in the emailing stuff like that to me department.
No news from the vet yet, so guess everything isn't back what with the holiday here and all.
I'll be patient, as much as that isn't generally a part of my personality. Grossly over rated is patience I say. LOL
hugs
Sharlene and molly muffin
glad that you had such a nice trip.
please send some cool and wet weather over here too.....thank you in advance!
