P-update

Things with Molly are getting better everyday. We had some seriously stressful days before we finally figured out how the crate system works. We took her in to the vet last week to get her shots and found out that she was still pretty malnutritioned. That explains the poop eating. Now that her belly is filling out a little, she doesn't seem quite as interested in poop. It also helps that we have been removing it from the yard immediately.

I love watching her run with her clumsy stride and mid air twirls. She chases her tail. We bounce the puppy sized kong on the ground and she prances after it. Julie brought her a stuffed squirrel toy and she LOVES it. You can squeak it from across the room and she comes running. We are trying to break her of her biting habit even though they are gentle, playful bites. Oh, and shoes, we are also trying to break her of the habit of chewing on shoes. No shoes have been ruined yet, fortunately.

Zaphod is warming, little by little. Two days ago she lay down next to him outside and he stayed for a couple of minutes before getting up and moving. He may be coming around. We are just trying to show him a lot of love!

It's been so pleasant outside recently - lovely weekend days of sitting in the backyard, watching the dogs play. On Saturday we celebrated the marriage of our friends Melissa and Nel with a picnic in the park. It was such a nice day to be out!

This seems to be a time for new folks in our house! Not only do we have a new dog, I have a new assistant! Julie let me know last week that she needs to go and start preparing to have her baby (yay babies!) so now Marisa will be helping me out here in the studio. Welcome Marisa!
