it's a bone I get from the pet store here....edible one....she chewed on it a bit and then took it and buried it under the pillow on the sofa...now she is outside doing her nightly rounds of the yard. My boys would have finished that bone off in half an hour but she makes them last forever it seems. Molly does not seem to be a real chewer of hard things....likes to chew on a tennis ball but have to keep an eye on that as balls tend togive out and then I throw them away or she will chew on her soft squeaky toys to make them squeak. I don't usually give fresh bones here due to one getting some caught in his throat years ago. Molly would love that lamb shank I am thinking.
I sort of noticed that on forum....felt bad for Tracy today as she is really doing a great job with an untrained dog....just do not feel the need to attack anyone on here . Guess I truly believe you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.....though why I would want to catch flies I never understood. Sounds like you also had door scratchers there.....I did also at one point....kept losing my screen door so I am really enjoying Molly not jumping up on door to come in....we worked with her when we first got her on either barking to let us know she wants in but first she does that Irish dance with her feet on the wooden step and you can't help but see her dance so she gets let in usually before she barks if we are in the breakfast room.
Hope Molly has a good sleepover...and I am sure she will charm them so they spoil her. and hope your trip is a good one. Talk to you when you get back.
Trying to figure the time difference and if you are now lonely>..like you are missing a part of yourself? Hope Molly does well at the vets...and that you have a nice day for your trip.
Wednesday -9 pm here.....so you have a wee bit more time before you drop her off....are you taking a special blanket and toy for her?

Doesn't it make the heart feel so happy to know Molly missed you? Did she have to investigate the whole house like you moved everything while she was gone? or did she zonk out for lack of sleep? Sounds like a really pretty sky....it is noon here as I write this on Friday....inch of light snow but it was a well behaved one for us...on grass and trees and not on streets and sidewalks. Warming up now for a few days and lots of rain here on Sunday night...have a dinner for our assistant manager who is moving to a different store that evening and hate when they forecast severe storms this far ahead! Give Molly a hug for my Molly and I .
Molly travels very well by car....infact she would love to live in the car I think. Loves to look out the window as the world passes by....usually only lies down after she has had a long walk or run ....otherwise she is too nosey and wants to see everything.
Wine tasting weekend sounds wonderful....lucky you! We have a couple wineries within driving distance here we like to go to in the summer. Though this year I have gotten quite fond of a muscato wine over the winter so hoping one of them will have one when we go this summer.
How lucky you can drop her off at a kennel that close to the airport and pick her up as you return so no double trips and less time she is actually kenneled. Wish we had that option here. So far Molly's kennel experience has been at the one we use out in the country where she went last year ....had doggie daycare during the day so only kenneled at night ( Alan's spoiling his baby even when he is not there) and it was a good experience for Molly so do not think it will be a problem leaving her in the future. Have not gotten far enough here to plan vacations this summer....working around schedules of others at work ...and my neice's wedding last weekend of July so need to get something figured out soon.
Molly limping a wee bit today...no crying or whimpering of pain so just trying to massage her leg and keep her rather on quiet side for a day or so here....hard as she still wants to chase those squirrels! Seems better today ...think she pulled or strained a muscule yesterday while I was at work....hard to keep an Irish calm as you know but doing my best here.
Alan said Molly came in from the yard favoring her left rear leg....so figure she twisted it or perhaps landed wrong on one of her leaps accross the yard. She took it easy last night but today I am trying very hard not to play with her ....she wants us to chase her or play fetch but trying to give it a day or so to be sure all is well. Still a wee bit stiff when she gets up from lying down so rather not push it today .
Sounds so funny to hear you had a parrot in your yard....sounds like Molly is becoming a wee bit of a hunter....and I hope she does not catch that guinea pig! I don't mind them chasing things I just don't want to deal with it if they catch something here! Hated it when Molly got that poor bird last year....though she did not tear it up and dropped it immediately for me......think she wanted it to fly again so she could chase it.
Trying to remember what Aussie wines we have had here....know we tried one at least a few years ago. Will look when I go to the store to see if I can find the ones we tried. This is my weekend off so am being rather lazy....trying to figure out what I want from grocerystore tomorrow is the extend of my endeavors today.....can't understand why we have to keep eating when I don't want to cook!
Like reds and some whites that are semi sweet. Would love a list to find them here if I can.
Wedding will be here in town....afternoon wedding and evening reception about hour from here. This is my neice who received her engagement ring from the collar of her Golden Retriever....and since has adopted a young Golden who will move out with her when she is married....my sister told her she can not take the older GR! :) I come from a large family but I am the only one into IS...two now have Golden's, one a Dalmation .rest had All American mutts . Sort of interesting to watch neices and nephews as they start adult lives and watch their choices in pets....so far it is one All American Mutt, one Malamute and now the Golden. Waiting for one to get an IS but so far no luck.
Hope Molly enjoys her Saturday walk about town....and gets lots and lots of petting and compliments...something I think that just walking one of our Irish makes happen. They never petted the Brittany , Pebbles like they do our Molly.
Molly acting fine but still going to take it easy on playing for another 24 hours just to be sure...she had me hold her hidey bone while she chewed on it for about ten minutes and now has hidden it inside a boot in our closet. Just finished chasing her tail....she has figured out if she goes by the wall she can trap her tail on the wall and catch it so when she is done chasing it she gets by a wall and captures it I guess to show her tail she won? Now she is sleeping on the sofa/

I am so happy that Neil and Molly are both alright....and how scarey that had to be for all of you....glad Molly was heeling so nicely that it prevented you having to deal with injuries or worse. Hate that thought....aren't you glad we train our Molly's? Hugs to her from us here in USA.
Our Molly does catch her tail at the end....when she is tired of chasing it she gets close to a wall and when her tail hits the wall she grabs it....stands there for a minute ....like she is saying Hey look I won! and then trots off to something else. None of my boys ever caught it so she has thought this out so she is always the winner! Sort of makes us laugh and try to figure out how long she will chase it before she decides to win the game by catching it on the wall....though that is cheating.
I am so sorry your walk was not a good one today....and I agree that all too often drivers think they are the only ones on the streets...worse here are the ones talking on cell phones while they drive. Are you taking Molly to training class in the morning? you really have a great story to tell of how training helped save her today....good for beginners to hear that message.
Sorry to hear you have the cell phone issue going there also....pretty bad here and they also text and drive.......grrrrrrrr have had a few pretty bad accidents due to this here but figure it is worldwide also. I do not talk while driving....sometimes I think this need to stay connected has made too many people forget the days of really getting away from the world and just relaxing.
Molly being a stinker today. Was trying to get her to do her tricks and everytime I told her to sit she trotted accross the family room and sat on Alan's lap....and gave me the I sat look....what more do you want? Naturally Alan and Angie were cracking up with laughter so I gave up and am carrying the treats in my pocket in hopes she will want to do her tricks again in a wee bit. Think I need to reinforce Sit Front here while they are not arround! Smarty pants!
Hope you all had a better end to your weekend after yesterday's almost mishap. How did training go today?
By off lead it is in room or fenced park? Molly would heel off lead? do a long sit and down stay off lead? and a recall? Smiling here as I think of my boys....they crawled after me on the long down stay.....to everyone's amusement. Worth a try to see where you are at with her.....will definitely let you know where you need to work a little more with her. Will this end her lessons or do you go on to the next step? /Are you working toward an obedience title? I never did really walk my dogs out in public off lead....down at the lake we did not use a leash but allowed them to run in wooded area and they did fine.....here in the neighborhood that they know well I would throw the leash over my shouder and walk hands free and they did fine.....and last two houses before ours I would drop the leash and they would head for home. I need to take our Molly to some training sessions here....just have to get work settled down so I can find a set time to be able to be off each week. Training a new sales lead this week so my job will now have a co sales lead to split hours with. I really like the young lady who I will be training so big plus for me going into this.
Molly was playing to her audience here....and she got the laughs and petting she was looking for from Alan. Wee bit later he was in the kitchen making a salad and she did her tricks perfectly.....so will need to work on the Sit Front with her til she is doing it each time I ask her to....afraid I got a wee bit lax in doing her tricks....she did follow all the ones we do by hand signal perfectly.....just that sit seems to be the problem ..... Alan says Molly figures she does not see us sitting on the floor so why should she? I did not reward the not sitting and left the room while they were all laughing....she came looking for me and tried to pick my pocket for the treats but waited a bit before I again did her tricks with her and she did them.
Eunice I can understand how you feel....we are over protective of Molly also...is why we do not go to the dog parks with her.....enclosed but I worry about the other dogs fighting possibly....I am very careful of where she is off lead....try to stay ahead of temptations or her being a target of aggressive dogs etc. What other types of dogs are in the training group? and is that area fenced at all? See what a worrywart I can be? Do not do what you are not comfortable with and let them know when you feel she is ready you will allow her to run free and not until. You know Molly better than anyone else!
Got your back on that no fence thingie. How do the other dogs play? and what type of dogs are they? is the trainer and most owners of dogs younger? Those are all factors I would put into the equation .....part of reason we are wee bit over protective is we know the risks and also all too well know the feelings of loss. hugs!
I would really worry about what might be in that creek....we have one here by a local park that kids and dogs were swimming in....dogs and kids both broke out in a bad rash ...would clear up but when they went back into that creek it would reoccur..Local news carried the story of one dogs battle with the rash,,,,it was a long one and since then they have put a sign up warning no swimming due to chemicals leaching from the ground into the creek. I can understand about wanting her to run off some energy...is why Alan does the long lead wild walks with her....and why we play ball in the yard with her . I would watch how the other dogs play, do they run where you can not see them? is agression shown by any? How does Molly react to being greeted by one of them? Do you take her in the area while they are playing? and do any of the dogs come up to greet her and want to play? How much recall do these dogs have? Wish I was not so far away so our Molly's could play together....bet they would wear each other out.
At 11:23pm on February 26, 2011, Sherry Miller said…
Eunice that would have you on edge....watching that with Neil and Molly and that silly lady acting like it was their fault and not her own....that is YOUR FAMILY.....and if you are like me any scares or threats to their safety get to me big time! Just so thankful that no one was hurt. I think it is the female part of us that keeps us worry worting over things....and also trying to protect our beloved Irish's and I bet your kids , also? Know I was that way and still am as much as I try not to be! Can't just turn that gene off to let go that easy. Hope this week is a better week for you.
What toy did Molly pick? does it squeak or have floppy arms? those are Molly's favorites here as she loves to shake them.....I bet it was fun to walk thru the nursery with her...are you looking for new plants or just browsing? We are about two months away from the Farmer's Market opening here and I can not wait....will be fun to take Molly out to lunch there or on the little city square....want to get Alan to go so he sees how well she behaves for us.

Saturday night, midnight here. The Farmer's Market I go to we have to drive to...but then we walk around a couple of blocks ...taking turns going into the shops,bakery, craft stores. One shop I love to go into is the Shannon shop....full of all things from Ireland....I go in looking for Irish Setter items but so far have not found many. I keep asking for them but to no avail. The Farmer's Market has a nursery type area full of flowering plants and vegetables for home gardeners....and then stalls where vendors sell fresh produce....one where they sell hormone free meat, honey and even some fresh baked pies and cookies. There is a snowcone stand on one end with another dealer of beautiful hanging flower baskets....in front are three small take out restaurants and picnic tables. That is where we did lunch with Molly last year....an Amtrack train track is behind the market itself....so Molly gets exposed to lots of different sounds there as well as people. She can actually walk thru the market part with us as it is open air. On the other side of the railroad tracks is a big plaza in front of about six different restaurants and a coffee house...in front is a fountain and lots of tables so if weather is nice a lot of people eat outside....some evenings they have various types of musicans playing also so it is just a really relaxing place to visit. Now if I cross the main street there I can walk to a soft served custard stand and indulge my sweet tooth also...just a lot to do in a small area where people are friendly and dogs are welcomed.
Sounds like Molly got a toy my Molly would adore....those are the ones she carries around all the time.....loves to greet us with one when we come home....lies on her back and holds them with her front paws and squeaks the squeaker....and her famous shake the heck out it game. Hope your Molly enjoys her new toy. Our Molly is sleeping in the chair right now just about ready for bedtime.

Eunice when you bathe Molly do you do it in the bathtub or shower? Have a handheld shower thing here that just has been wonderful for getting all the soap out....put on a bathing suit and just take Molly into the shower...I take down the shower wand and can control where the water goes....and it sure is easier on my back than leaning over a tub. I use a conditioner after the shampoo part and she always smells so good ....wrap her in a large beach towel and massage her to get the worse of the water off her before letting her out of the bathroom I then go take my shower while she sort of drips dry a bit . She will then prance to find Alan or Angie to get made over....and usually will start a game of chase me with the tea towel as she just feels so good after her bath. So far no luck with using a hair dryer on her....she hates the noise.
Laughing here...bet your hoping she does not catch her pet guinea pig....keeps her busy and bet she gets into chasing it big time.
Trying to imagine Alan giving Molly a bath and can't.......has always been my job here...he takes them to the groomer if I ask him to bathe her. Thinking will be making an appointment here for that before St Patrick's Day...nails need it and time to trim her feet up again....I will maintain but let them do the main trim. I block our drain to catch the fur that comes off during a bath. Glad you have Neil to help you as that sounds like it might be a long process to get her all rinsed. Love when they look like a drowned rat ..and so skinny...then hour later all shiney and sweet smelling . I can't let Molly out while she is drying or she will roll in the grass. Does your Molly roll?
I miss it in the winter...can not wait for it to open this year. I had never taken my boys there but for some reason decided Molly could go. We all enjoyed it a lot and she was sooooo good while having lunch with us...lying under the table and drinking her water and eating a few training treats so patiently for Angie and I.
I am thinking you better name your guinea pig....we named our squirrel here as that is who keeps Molly the busiest. Mr. Crooky Tail ( his tail was really crooked when he was a baby squirrel..the year we did not have a dog here we started putting nuts out for this squirrel and he is still here with his MRS now ) Can a guinea pig survive your winters there outside? I am off to bed so have a great day.

it's a bone I get from the pet store here....edible one....she chewed on it a bit and then took it and buried it under the pillow on the sofa...now she is outside doing her nightly rounds of the yard. My boys would have finished that bone off in half an hour but she makes them last forever it seems. Molly does not seem to be a real chewer of hard things....likes to chew on a tennis ball but have to keep an eye on that as balls tend togive out and then I throw them away or she will chew on her soft squeaky toys to make them squeak. I don't usually give fresh bones here due to one getting some caught in his throat years ago. Molly would love that lamb shank I am thinking.
I sort of noticed that on forum....felt bad for Tracy today as she is really doing a great job with an untrained dog....just do not feel the need to attack anyone on here . Guess I truly believe you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.....though why I would want to catch flies I never understood. Sounds like you also had door scratchers there.....I did also at one point....kept losing my screen door so I am really enjoying Molly not jumping up on door to come in....we worked with her when we first got her on either barking to let us know she wants in but first she does that Irish dance with her feet on the wooden step and you can't help but see her dance so she gets let in usually before she barks if we are in the breakfast room.
Do you all celebrate St Patrick's Day there?
