It’s hard to believe the last post I wrote was after we’ve had Molly for only a week. We’re now a week shy of two months with her in our home and hearts and I honestly don’t remember life without her.
Molly is a joy 95% of the time She has a very gentle and easy going personality. While she is still hyper at times and can go crazy for attention and play time she also quickly calms down and responds to more commands than I’ve been known to understand.
She will now sit, give paw (paw), stay where she is (stay), Go to the door for bathroom time (Outside) and goes back upstairs (upstairs) without any fight. She knows sit, paw and stay by both oral and visual commands.
Currently I am working on crate with her to get her into her crate all on her own. She doesn’t seem to be so willing on this one as she knows that means it’s time for bed or we’re going to leave her for some time. I am certain she understands and just chooses to ignore our requests.
Good friend JF and I put her in-ground invisible fence in about a month ago. We mapped it out and Kate and I felt it wasn’t large enough so we traveled out to the Home Depot and got more wire to extend her running area. It’s now a very large area in our backyard that she really enjoys running and playing in. Unfortunately it’s a huge area for us to do find her waste in.
Krispy is still not terribly font of her and will purposely sit in her way knowing she’ll cry and not try to get past him. They’ve gotten into it a few times with Kate getting the worst of it the most recent time.
Dexter on the other hand seems to recognize that she is not the most evil thing in the world. He’s not certain he likes her, but he doesn’t dislike her. I personally think he is trying to figure out how to harness her mass and strength into doing things he wants … like liberating large amounts of food for his consumption. She has licked him on the face or back multiple times and that is just funny to watch.
Molly has taken a long road trip to CT to visit the in-laws and behaved so well there that MIL actually allowed her free roam of the house. She was super well behaved and has been invited back … so she will be joining us for Christmas (leaving on Tuesday and returning the following Monday).
I have been very lazy about taking worthwhile pictures. The only snapshots I’ve taken have been with my iPhone and they’re less than satisfactory as they don’t catch enough of her facial details to show how cute she is. Pictures will come in time.
