Hi Sharlene:
Hope you and Molly are having a good weekend. We are to have thunderstorms form Monday to Thursday, I am already sick thinking about it. Hope they do not come your way. I gave Tipper he second antibiotic pill and I guess in about a week it should either work or not. I had Tipper on the porch last nite blowing bubbles for her again, she never tires of it! Blessings

We were out to a bbq at a friends house last night. Always good to catch up with them, as they are a couple of our BFF's.

Molly is doing good, back to not wanting to eat so much though of her dry kibble. She wants to wait for the wet to go on it and then will eat that and a bit of the dry. Just not overly interested in food right now, seems to not be a big deal to her though, she has off days of eating, so not worried really.

hugs all,
Sharlene and molly muffin

Funny how they have their definite foodie preferences!! Flynn is the same in preferring wet food. He does like the dehydrated food though. Is Molly's weight steady through her ups and downs with intake?

[molly muffin]

Yes she seems to be okay weight wise. She has probably fluctuated about 2 lbs over the last 7 years at most. With most of her weight dropping during boarding, when she refuses to eat almost any dry food and then back up when she gets home and will eat dry again with the wet. She also doesn't eat as well or as much on days I am at the office compared to days that I am home. That is the only way you can actually tell that she doesn't like me being away from her for too long.

I did laundry and now am watching really terrible natural disaster end of the world movies. In that I can't believe this one studio "Asylum" cranks out these bad of movies over and over. yea, I know I'm watching them but it's almost like a funny by this point. Truly horrible acting too.

On the other hand, I LOVE Judi Dench. She is the awesome. I read that she is almost blind now and has her scripts read to her and she memorizes them. She hits it all on cue too, you'd never know. That is a true professional with an excellent memory.

Molly is actually having some problems today with her bad knee. If not one thing it's another, so she doesn't want to walk to far, I can see her being wobbly on it. I thought I was going to have to carry her on the return of a walk with a doggie friend. She sat down and didn't want to move. I gave her a bit of a leg massage, into the correct position and off she went like nothing was bothering her.

Maybe that is why she has been off her food today. (although wants her treats just fine and has had her dental bone) so calorie intake is okay.

Yes Judi is fantastic, in this one she is a funny little old Irish lady looking for her son that was taken off her by the nuns in the 1950s, but she can equally do the whole imperious royal Queen too!! Such variety in her acting. Love her!

Not so keen on the sci-fi ones though, so think I would be off playing in the corner with Molly at your house right about now!

Good her weight is stable, not good with the limp!! Flynn is doing it more and more after getting up, I am not letting him jump out the car anymore. I always lift him in but he has been fine jumping out but just do not want him to jar it. He walks his off in a few steps too, it is only when he has been lying down a while. Haven't really gone over this with Mike as it comes and goes so much I forget about it a while. I wonder if they get spasm or something, like how you rubbed it away and they can walk it off sometimes. Dunno what the heck these episodes are!

[molly muffin]

Truly she is an all around actress, can play any part so well.

Spare me from dogs who are too smart for their own good. So, molly wants to play toss her kibble. So I throw a piece, she pounces, attacks, eats it. But one piece she pounced, threw it in air and it went down the floor vent. I distracted her with another piece, but then she went back to the vent and was barking at it for me to go get the piece she lost. Finally I got two pieces from her bowl, tossed her one, then went to the vent cover, took it off and she came over and watched me very carefully, and I put my hand down the vet and came back up with tada a piece of her food. Tossed it to her, put the cover back on. No way was that the original piece but she seems okay that I retrieve something for her. Mighty hunter here you know!

Ahhhh the old piece of food in the other hand trick LOL... they don't forget where a snack disappeared

Yikes, look at the time, I have a shopping trip ahead... have a lovely evening and see you soon!!

Hi Sharlene,
I just love reading about all of Molly's antics. She has such cute ways. Yes, they are so smart. Mine wouldn't forget where a morsel disappeared either!

Your jazz night out sounded so fun. I love live music, I just don't get out much anymore. I enjoy reading about all of your adventures, you and your hubs sure have a lot of fun.

I love Dame Judi also, she is a wonderful actress. Right now I have hockey on in the background but trying to get chores done also.
And trying to get an update posted on Jasper.

Hugs,
Tina and Jasper

I would love to have all of us together for a big ole bbq and some music and fun. I can't think of a one on here that doesn't need a huge break from life.
We do have a good time as much as we can.

there was +2 calcium oxalate crystals, but they think this occurred in transit, since they did a test as soon as it arrived in the office and saw no crystals.
