Hi Sharlene,
No one should have to attend two funerals in a week. I am so sorry.

Rosie isn't found of her dry food either. She prefers soft food also. She will only eat the dry when she is really hungry. I have finally found a solution. I soak about a cup of dry food in water, then zap it with my mini food processor (Ninja). It becomes the consistency of canned and Rosie gobbles it right up. I still offer her dry in the evening and as snacks during the day. She'll eat it hand fed or in a game, but doesn't like it in a bowl. I was buying the canned formula at $2.50 a can to mix with the dry. Rosie is just as happy with my makeshift soft food and it keep well in the frig. Just a thought....

I hope you are able to get some rest this weekend. Xxxxx

Sharlene:
I think you need a break. That is so sad two funerals in one week. I hope what is left of this year is easier on you. WE had such bad wind yesterday, but al the leaves are still not down. It is very dark and looks like rain again. Was Molly excited to see her daddy? Blessings

Yes, Molly was thrilled that my husband came home from his business trip. She heard his vehicle pull into the garage and looked at me. I said, "that is Daddy, Daddy is home" and she started whining at the window and then ran to the door to meet him. (something she does when either of come home from being out and about)

Last night, he was rubbing his face in her neck fur and I was blowing raspberries on her belly, while she rolled around on her back on the floor doing the Molly Wiggle. I think she was in her happy place.

The plan is to take it easy this weekend, maybe do some work around the house if we find our motivation. If not, then my favorite thing to do in the whole world is to curl up with a good book and read myself silly. Molly is currently joined right into that mind set, curled up on couch with hubby, watching some very bad scary movie. I think they are actually using it as back ground noise to take a morning nap.

hugs,
sharlene and molly muffin

But this is the clip on facebook and shows them at a very fancy dinner with the Canadians and doing a haka. They play USA next week.

That was so cool! Loved the end. What was that a chant, a victory thing? The expressions on that one guys face, he was so into it and looked quite ferocious.

Fun never ends at this house. So, we've been trying to do massages on hubby's shoulder and exercises to get some mobility back. (this involves some swearing and yelling too, sort of like that chant come to think of it) Then he is in the backyard, encounters a spider, and flings it away, not thinking of his shoulder. Next thing I know he comes running in yelling for me, and he is having a massive muscle spasm, that I massage away. Way to get mobility going eh. So, he says, I'm taking Molly out back with me. Not long, he comes in yelling for me to bring a poop bag, that she is stinking up the entire yard. ROFL. So, out I go and I look around and see a tiny little bit on the grass, and I'm like, really this is it? He says well, I smell it. (He can't clean up poop, he just gags when he tries) So, I clean that up, then tell molly to go inside the house, which she takes off running up everywhere but up the deck steps. I find another bit of poop, clean that up, she is still running around as fast as she can go. We have a new level pool cover, child proof, this year and she runs across it, and stops in the middle because it is waving. Now it will hold an animal, or child, but not an adult, so we're calling her back, she gets her sea legs going and takes off again, all around the yard, while I am yelling, Molly get inside the house NOW! Finally she goes up the steps lickity split and hubs looks at her and says, she sure is a trouble maker isn't she. ROFLMAO. I am now laughing so hard that I am doubled over. Molly is pleased as she can be at the top of the deck looking down at us and every time I look up at her, she runs again. Finally I got her in the house, poop bags disposed of in their container and hubs back to doing his clean up. It's been an eventful morning and it's only 9am.

She is currently laying in the kitchen, in the sun, barking at nothing, maybe my shoe? and growling, carrying on like a banshee. She is definitely feeling good and pretty full of herself today. I think she might want to go back outside. Frisky, is the key word, if I ignore her, she picks my shoe up and throws it. This is new. (all this is happening as I'm typing this out).

I need coffee. Back in a bit.
hugs,
Sharlene

Oh, what fun!

Your hubby's aversion to poop reminded me of the first time Gia's daddy changed a poopy diaper - if video cams had been available as easily back then as they are today, it would have made a GREAT YouTube show! I've seen one on America's Funniest Videos that is similar but her dad did eventually get the job done... with me howling in the kitchen as I watched.

Enjoy your day...I hope you all have many more adventures and much more laughter!

Sharlene:
Molly certainly keeps you two on your feet and entertained! She seemed to have an abundance of energy, maybe it's the weather as Tipper is energetic today too, and wants to walk more! Blessings
