Eunice Marott's Comments

I do leave her dry kibble down all the time...but only put a set amount in per day...usually she rations it pretty well and almost always has at least a half cup left at end of the day. Alan spoils her in the AM with a few graham crackers and a doggie biscuit to jump start her morning...that is the bone she often will bury under my blanket if I am still in bed.  Around 5 pm she will get some tinned meat...salmon , beef. lamb mixed with small amount of her kibble for her main meal.  Doggie biscuit when she finishes that meal also.  That is pretty much it unless we give her a wee bit of cooked vegetables, fruit, or some plain popcorn.

perhaps I should help Molly hide it in Alan's underwear drawer?  and then tell him?  lol

We are bad........perhaps it is good thing we are not close or we could really get into trouble!

Hi Eunice...sorry I crashed last night big time....bully stick is still being moved and hidden by Miss Molly here.  But Alan's face was a treasure when I told him what that bully stick was...his comment was "She better not get any ideas here!"  Angie said no wonder she likes it!  grrrrr....lots of teasing gong on here about it but have yet to see her really chew on the silly thing.....guess that is ultimate recycling going on.  Thiking deer antlers sound much nicer!  How are you all doing? 

We had computers off last night due to lightening n area but missed worse part of storms last night. Two more days of rain and then a cooling off before we find out what is coming next. 

Here they reccomend you go into a basement or lower level of the building...away from windows and doors ( bathrooms on main level usually a good choice),,we do have a basement here....and one room of it has no windows at all and the main room has only a tiny window so in bad storms that is where we go.  We have a family room down there with a tv , sofa etc so it is not really a hardship to go down there .

  I also agree on no more bully sticks...though this one might be around forever if her whole interest in it is to hide it....or walk around carrying it like it is a cigar in her mouth!  Alan could not believe he got that for her....and we keep telling him he better watch out.

  Shame you have to keep after them for noise on the construction site....should be a given in a neighborhood they keep noise to a minimum.  Will be glad for you all when they finish the construction.  How is Molly doing with all the noise?  Ours is so nosey she would have to know everything that is going on.  Trying to download a picture I took of her today....just a funny one.

So Molly wants to learn how to chat with my Molly...then we would be in trouble.  I will try to get picture of the bully stick ...right now is hidden somewhere...I was at a Rock and Mineral Sale today and when I got back no bully stick ,  She will dig it out again so will try to catch picture of her with it.  Poor Alan as we keep teasing him he better be careful if she loses this bully stick.  Guess we do have our own sense of humor.

Does Molly lie on your bed while you take your shower? is what our's does...and heaven's help you if you spray anything...even in the bathroom...she will start rolling and rolling and throw the pillows all over the place....like I sprayed her with something....she will see me pick up the hairspray etc but run in there as evidently she likes to roll on our bed.

HOpe everything is alright with your grand daughter......email if you want to talk. 

Scooter finally passed away at 18 years old...I used to go see him.  We had just gotten so used to Scooter being there that when they moved it was like they took part of our house!   You have had good luck with your Irish Setter's and cats...think Molly here would be like your Cherie...afraid to go past the cat and would cry about it....she is a terrible crybaby.  I laugh at how much she cries about things.  Our boys never whined or cried when they wanted something but Molly lets us know what she wants all the time. 

Does Baby Molly try to carry as many toys as she can in her mouth?  Ours tries to get as many as she can in there to greet us with or to get us to chase her ....then she tries to roo with all the toys in there and it comes out so funny.

All of our Irish have always played a lot with toys...toys were to keep them from getting into things they should not with the boys!  and believe me they did their share and more of that.  We always included the IS at all holidays so they got presents and even an Easter basket...perhaps because we waited so long for our girls to arrive.  Wedo tend to spoil Molly as she has been such a delight and surprise for all of us.  Keep looking at her and wonder if her original owner has any idea of what an awesome dog she is...something we can never understand but something we are so thankful for.  Took such a tiny bit of work to train her and get her used to life inside a home and she learns so quickly that it seems perhaps she never had a true chance to show they just how wonderful she is.

Miss Molly just always has a toy within reach if not two...hides a few in places where she can get them quickly so she greets us with a toy or two.  She knows that we usually will almost always stop to play a quick game of fetch or catch with her so I guess that is why she loves all her toys so much....thing that works almost as well for attention is rolling over on her back for a bellyrub.

Hello Eunice.

I was looking at the Photos of your girl and read you got her from Queensland,

Can I ask who the breeder is as she looks a lot like a setter we hope to get a girl from later this year.

Cheers

Graham.

Thanks for that,

I thought there was a similarity, I take it you have been chating with Carmel, we really did like Mac and Annabelle when we went up and seen them and decided straight away to wait for a pup if we were accepted. Carmel told me about this site so I have here to blame for all the time I spend looking at Photos. Didn't realise how much I missed the breed over the last 15 years or so.

Got the bug again when we went to Ireland and seen some really nice dogs there, even though most were pets.

I know I will know the answer, but is Molly's nature loving and outgoing with a heap of confidence.

Hope to chat again

Graham.

We got home really late...after midnight so I did turn the wedding on ...started here at 4 am...dosed in and out watching it.  Hope you took some pictures of Baby Molly in her feathers!  Kate's dress was lovely...almost made me want to get married again!  Hope you are doing good.
