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

Molly is so smart, sounds like she needs everything under control too, and we think we are the pack leaders lol.....have a great weekend....

awww..Molly. Hard for many dogs to take a disruption in their routine. We can't blame her for being thrown by a baby. Babies have a way of doing that to everyone don't they!!? :p

:DYIKES Babies in the house :eek: :eek:, poor Molly sounds like she is on high alert! Stressful!!! Hope you all have fun together and Molly does not get her tail pulled :D

Ack! A baby! Poor Molly girl. If she is anything like my Molly she will high tail it out of there and hide in the closet! Have a good weekend!

Ahhhh Sharlene,
A toddler. Fun for you, but not so fun for Molly girl.:o You better watch it or she'll be kicking that baby to the curb! Not really, She's probably a mother hen like the rest of us. It's going to take weeks for Molly to get over that invasion!:D;) xxxxx

Sharlene:
How is Molly doing now that the little one went home? She probably feel like her territory was invaded by a little person. How is she feeling these days? How is your weather? Blessings

Hi all, :) Baby has gone home. :) Molly is happier. LOL

She was a bundle of nerves while the grandson was here, but never acted out, so that was good. What was bad, is the practically quite eating all together, except for what I could coax into her. She'd nibble but she wasn't even eating 1/2 a bowl of her food a day. So of course, she wasn't able to have any regular poops, just little bits. That is still not normal as she isn't fully back into her eating yet. She has a long walk on sunday morning to the park and then was acting "off" for the rest of the day. Tail down and just not cheerful self. Maybe the walk was too long for her or something, I'm not sure. She hasn't been into having long walks for a few years now, since her last bout of problems with her back leg. She doesn't limp or anything but when she goes too much, it can bother her. The vet had told us back about 5 or 6 years ago, that she'd have arthritis in that leg and it would bother her sometimes, but other than going in and cutting a groove for the joint to ride better in, which could be more risky at her age, there isn't anything to be done about it, it's a malformation. Anyway, I hope that is what is bothering her and that things straighten out over the course of the week, once she realizes that things are back to normal for her and will stay that way for awhile.

I'm trying to catch up on the forum, you guys have been busy as all get out. :)

It's going to be a long month with a lot going on, work and away for a wedding and just Stuff. You know how that is, so I'll be around as much as possible, just some days may be a bit slower than others. :)

I worry when I can't get on the computer about how you are all doing.

The weather has been cooler here this weekend, so that has been nice. No sweltering heatwaves!!

hugs
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi Sharlene,
Oh dear, poor little Molly, what a time she had! She really got stressed out didn't she? Shows how much dogs like everything to stay the same all the time! ;) I hope she's quickly back to her perky self now that things are back to normal for her. :p

Cooler here too and we're loving it!!

Sharlene:
I noticed ever since Tipper started with the Cushings she has been a bundle of nerves too. It seems like tiny little things that would never upset her before, now seem major to her. The least little thing out of her ordinary routine sets her nerves off. I am walking her in a different place because of the poison spraying here, and as soon as we get out of the car she starts huffing and puffing and looking around like she needs to get stirred up about something. At first I thought it was her heart, now I think it is because she is nervous in new surroundings. I can definitely see how Molly could get uptight about a toddler in the house. She will calm down to herself in a few days I am sure. Glad we have cool weather today, but the heat and humidity are coming back soon. Where is fall???? Blessings

Hi Sharlene-

In another week most of the college kids will have gone back to school and in another two weeks all the regular kids will be back at school and "we" will get our beach back.:D THAT is what we look forward to. That is our return to normal. That is when we become cranky much less often.:) Poor Molly. :( She had her home turf invaded, her personal space violated. I think she did pretty well, all things considered.:cool: At least maybe we're through with the blistering heat for this summer. I hope so.

Don't beat yourself up for "slow response" time. You are one of the most active moderators I've ever known and I don't know how you get it all done, but I sure do appreciate it. You're upbeat and always have cheerful, positive thoughts to offer. You are such an asset to the forum. Thank you for all you do.

BIG HUG.
Susan
