Staying With the Wiener Cousins

by 5 Comments

The Molly and I stayed with the wiener cousins while Mommy ran her Half Marathon race. I like their house! They have really nice flowers.

The Molly likes the flowers too.

Here is Aunt Susan with the Oscar and the Mayer. I likes Aunt Susan so much that I pooped with excitement when I saw her. That was kind of embarrassing.  But at least I didn’t puke when Mommy and Daddy left me this time!

Repost: I Rescued a Human Today

by 3 Comments

This is Molly posting today! I’m a shelter dog and I like this nice article written by a fellow shelter dog with the help of a human named Janine Allen.  I adopted Ty’s Mommy many years ago. Here is a picture of me in my garden (even though Ty thinks the tomatoes belong to him).

I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY by Janine Allen

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.

I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn’t be afraid. As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn’t want her to know that I hadn’t been walked today. Sometimes the overworked shelter keepers get too busy and I didn’t want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn’t feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone’s life.

She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.

Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.

I would promise to keep her safe.
I would promise to always be by her side.
I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.

I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven’t walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today.

Molly Can Work for Dinner Too!

Hi! I’m Molly! My little brother Ty let me make a post today. OK, so he kind of had to because I sat on him until he let me do it.

Awhile back Ty said that I couldn’t work his ropey bottle toy (it is actually called a Tug-a-Jug* ).  Well, guess what? I can! And my way gets more food out of it faster!

I get the food out by turning the bottle upside down. The food falls out and I eat it!

Interactive toys makes your doggie think, and working our brains wears us out faster than anything else. So they are good for us and good for you!
