Sharlene...sounds like Molly is doing great and no poops means her system is righting itself! (that's how I like to think of it) Too funny that you told her she was confusing the forum!! :D Love that!
The Canadian weather front has reached New York this evening! Couldn't be happier about that. It's nice and cool, the a/c is off and I'm looking forward to wearing a jacket in the morning!! :D
Yes, I think Molly is off the dreaded poop wagon...she doesn't need that ride anymore! :D
Barbara
oh Molly, you and those baby browns can get you anything, work it girl!
Hi Daize's mom and welcome. I dropped by your thread to say hello to you and Daize. We're so happy you found us.
Oh Letti, she works it and then she works it some more. I'm such a sucker for those eyes. LOL
Barbara, whooo hoooo for canadian cool! LOL Yes, it is true, I think we jumped the wagon. Another firm poop finally tonight, so I think her system is clearing up. I'm still doing the rice/chicken thing, but am adding in her dry kibble in the morning and evening meals and just giving rice for a treat during the day or mid snack if she is acting hungry, which she does just to get some more rice.
I never knew dogs were that partial to rice! Do all dogs think this is the greatest thing since ham or something? I'm amazed.
Hugs all,

:D I know--rice! You'd think I was giving Trixie prime rib! Glad she likes it because it really helps sometimes!! :D
Hi Sharlene,
Obviously, your discussion with Molly over John's poop chart helped. :D In spite it all, she aims to please!:D I am glad to hear that she's doing better.
Yes! Dogs love rice! It is a treat, because they NEVER get it when they are well. It is like a child getting their tonsils out. They get to eat as many Popsicles as they want. ;) xxxx
Okay I have got to share this. Only on here will the joke really be appreciated.
So, last night, I made a dish of garlic rice and black pepper chicken, which is all cut up after cooking and mixed in with the rice. (one of those I worked late tonight, easy dinners). So my husband comes home (you see where this is going right) and I hand him a bowl of chicken and rice. He looks down at Molly who is eating her dinner and as I am taking a drink of ice tea, he says "you're feeding me dog food????!!!! :eek: )
Needless to say I spit tea out over the counter as I cracked up laughing, while he stands there looking mortified. I said, it is NOT the same thing at all. He takes a bite and he said, well this is really good, I see why Molly likes it so much.
:D:D:D:D:D:D

ROFL - That is hilarious Sharlene! Well, he now understands why Molly likes it so much!!! :D:D Thanks for sharing! :)xxxx
Sharlene:
That is so funny, your hubby cracks me up. Hope Molly is doing well this morning. We have great cool weather and Tipper is loving every second of it. I got an email form Diamondback so I hope Tipper's 5mg is on the way and is here soon, she is not doing well this week and I am scared. Blessings

Poop Patrol report :) All is well, poops consistently firm, transitioning back to kibbles. :)
Yay! And this episode is over. :)
Next up - So, we have these rather steep stairs to the basement. Molly has never had an issue with them. On Saturday, I was outside by the screen door and molly came up the stairs and must have missed one or two, I heard a bit of scrambling and came running in just as she bounced up to the top. So I figured she didn't do any damage, whew, she immediately went outside and ran down the deck stairs and later back up them. However, now when she goes downstairs to the basement, she doesn't want to come back up.
She'll sit at the bottom of the stairs and bark at me, while I encourage her to come up. She has come up twice and always gets to the top, and starts jumping for joy, but once, she got within 4 steps of the top and stopped, got turned sideways and then couldn't come up any further, she went back to the bottom. So I went down to the bottom and got her to go up in front of me, and she did, didn't miss a step either, then bounced around because she was so happy she had made it. I noticed that she skipped the last step and goes for the 2 step jump just to get to the top though. I wonder if she did this before I and I didn't notice and this is what she missed. Scares the crap out of me, but I don't want her to see me worried.
Now I worry that she'll go down while I'm not home and she'll fall coming up. There is no rail on the left hand side and if she goes over, she'd get hurt. :( So, something new to think about. *sigh* I told hubby, we might have to put up a baby gate while we aren't home.
Molly is pretty happy still, running around like her normal self, finding mischief. Now she has just developed her own neurotic issues too. :)
hugs all, have a good week.

Sharlene...it's too funny about your husband and his rice bowl supper!! hahahaha....glad that he dug right in though! Even though it wasn't the same he probably knows whatever Molly is having would probably be good enough for humans! :D
So I can 100% see your dilemma about the steps! I assume that Molly has to go up and down those steps during the day when you're at work? If she doesn't have to go down to the basement for any reason then I would gate the stairway. Probably everything would be fine but if you're going to be worrying it would be better to just keep her off those steps...why have that worry unless of course there's reason for her to be going up and down. :p
Glad the poops are back on track! yay! :D
