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

Sharlene:
Now you made us all hungry for pie!!!! I bet Molly is in a tither because her Grandmother left and now her dad! She is wondering where is the loyalty?? Blessings
Patti

Ha, her loyalty is right here with me! hahahaha I'm sure she'll be a happy camper though when my husband gets home tomorrow.

At least the rain finally stopped here. Molly doesn't like to go outside in when it is raining. She also doesn't like to get up in the mornings when it is raining. So this morning of course it is dark and rainy, wind blowing and I have to get up and get moving because I am leaving at 10:30 for a memorial service and who doesn't want to get out of bed?! yep, molly just snoring away, until finally I went upstairs and had to rouse her. Then she stretched and wanted to be petted and loved on (they are so cute in the mornings aren't they) so did that with her for a bit, then we went downstairs and she took one look out the window and went and jumped on the couch and prepared to go right back to sleep. I said "I don't think so little miss, I know you have to go to the bathroom, so suck it up, and lets go walkies". I think she might have crossed her eyes and stuck her tongue out at me, but it might have just been a big yawn.

Still we finally got a quick walk in and breakfast done, so she could head back to sleep in her blankets, since she'd gotten wet, she was all about crawling into and making a bed in her blankets. By the time I got home, it had stopped raining and she was ready for a good long walk outside.

Hugs gang,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Sharlene:
Molly is quite the character. I'll have to send Tipper over there for a visit so Molly can teach her to sleep in. It is pitch black out and we are up in this house. It is warmer here today and we are to hit the 60's next week. Blessings
Patti

Sharlene:
We are to get 70's today. I hope you get some of this too!
Blessings

We're suppose to warm up on Thursday, but along with the warmth comes rain. Not going to be fun for the little trick or treaters if it is raining :(

Sharlene:
Throughout this journey no matter what has been wrong, you always make me feel better after reading you posts. I just wanted to thank you for that. Blessings
Patti

They are so cute not wanting out in the rain, Flynny is the same with his allergy to water in any form! He will hold on for ages, like nope.. I don't need to go... Yes you do little dog, you not been for 12 hrs!!!

Hope your week is going well, Molly will be happy with hubby's return home. They miss their pack when someone leaves! I must set Mum's ipad up for facetime when I am away so I can check him myself!! xx

Sharlene :
I bet Molly is going to be happy to see her daddy come home. How is your weather holding up? Blessings
Patti

Wind came in like crazy today Patti. :( Rain was yesterday.

It's been a real whirlwind around here this week. A dear friends mother passed unexpectedly and we seem to go from finding out Tuesday night, cooking all Wednesday evening, then funeral on thursday. So, meetings had to be rescheduled, flights rebooked (my husbands meetings were out of town) and then right into the funeral, burial and shiva yesterday, run home for trick or treat and so molly wouldn't be freaking out here by herself with the door bell ringing, then back to work late last night for things that had to be done before today.

In the midst of that Molly decided she didn't want to eat her dry food any more. She'd nibble at it with her morning wet food (she gets about a teaspoon worth in the am) and then wouldn't eat at all for dinner. So, I finally found something that would get her to eat at least most of it, which was Bistro Cesar. I give her about a tablespoon of one of those mixed into the dry food and she'll eat plus the dry, at least most of the dry. She won't drink hardly at all, if I don't get the SO food into her at least a little bit. Otherwise, she will go down to maybe a cup of water all day. Darn dog does not Like water particularly and never seems thirsty enough on her own.

So, a whirlwind like I said. Two funerals in one week, halloween and molly getting finicky (maybe lack of attention caused that, not sure) is just a bit much. It messes with my zen and that won't do.

Molly was quite happy to have hubs home, but we don't seem to have been around much this week and she is not a happy camper about that for sure.

So, hoping to get some recuperation time on the weekend and some quality molly time too.

hugs all,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Oh gosh that is a week of it Sharlene. Sorry to hear about all you have going on, my condolences to your friend on the loss of her Mum.

No wonder Molly has gone on a bit of a food strike, hopefully everything will even back out once you all get back into the normal routine. Flynny only drinks about a cup of water a day too, I do mix his probiotic in water and add that to his meals so that's about another half a cup a day but like Molly he is just not a thirsty dog. We hear all about the cush pups drinking gallons but it can be just as worrying when they don't drink enough especially with other problems like crystals etc.

I think you need to collapse in bed and laze a bit! Hope you all have a chance to catch your breath this weekend xxxxx
