Just in case you forgot I, Tess write in blue and </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Molly writes in purple.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2bRm6AxXEWoKgauqIE1J1D_owWUvFZFKmJ9VkukR6rGYtWSdu9HQHhnjFpJg1C_dGdoPN53U6Zf_JPRMbEnZVf8pMfaBZA6KNv_WQIR87UCFhGfd02m5WIu4PKEplhcHvN5-9CC4OcUvl/s1600/DSCF0990.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2bRm6AxXEWoKgauqIE1J1D_owWUvFZFKmJ9VkukR6rGYtWSdu9HQHhnjFpJg1C_dGdoPN53U6Zf_JPRMbEnZVf8pMfaBZA6KNv_WQIR87UCFhGfd02m5WIu4PKEplhcHvN5-9CC4OcUvl/s320/DSCF0990.JPG" width="320" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Sorry for not updating this more often, Molly and I have been very busy.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Mummy is still taking me to obedience class although it is finished for the summer holidays at the moment.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Within eight weeks I had been moved up to the Intermediate/Advanced class and mum says I've been doing really well. I can sit and stay for 3 mins, lie down and stay for 2 mins, I can stay while mummy is out of sight. I can also do a beginners/Intermediate/Advanced recall.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">I have a best friend at the class, a CockerPoo called Dilly. I like most of the other dogs apart from the big Newfoundland and the two German Shepherds - they keep running over to me and scaring me. I shout at them to go away! I'm not scared anymore and am enjoying going to obedience now.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">I had to go to the vet last month as mummy found a lump on my shoulder. The vet said something about a possible injection reaction from my booster. Mum has to wait 2 months and then go back if it isn't gone - I hope it goes away, I don't want tests. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/dh2JbrBoc58?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">The other very exciting thing is that mummy started taking Molly and I to agility classes! It's so much fun - I love my aunty Angela!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">I can jump full height now which is over 24 inches and go through the tunnel. We are working on contacts on the a-frame at the moment. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">It has been quite hot the past few sessions and I haven't really felt like running about in the heat.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Mummy also bought some jumps and a weave so we have been practising at home. I wonder how long it will be until I can run through the weave!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Don't hog all the blog Tess!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">As Tess said mummy has been taking us to agility. I only started jumping full height properly last week. I was too scared before and ducked under the jumps which mummy found very amusing for some reason!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">I ran over the A-frame last week but forgot to stop at the bottom - mummy was quite insistant about it!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">I get too hot sometimes and go for a wander in the field, mummy doesn't understand, sometimes I just need some time to myself!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Today. mummy took me to Lanark racecourse to see aunty Angela and her dogs compete in an agility competition. They were very good. I don't think I could run some of the courses, they looked hard. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/-lQKB7IY1yQ?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">We went for a walk where I was allowed off lead to play with Jazz and Haggis and could go meet other dogs. Eventually we arrived at Lanark Loch and we all went for a dip, well all the dogs did ;)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Mummy says she has sun burn? She soaked me with the hose when I got home, it was lovely and cool on my fur. I've been sleeping most of the afternoon.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Since starting agility in April I have lost 1.9kg and mummy seems really pleased. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">We are trying a new food at the moment. It's called Skinner's Field and Trial Salmon. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">I was fed on Burns, but for the first time in nearly 4 years I started eating my poo :o - I tried telling mummy it was yummy but she shouted at me, so, I threatened to give her a big kiss.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Tess and I thought that we could review some products we have used for other dogs to see.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Today we are reviewing: The Dogit Water Fountain for Large Dogs.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><a href="http://www.hagen.com/dogitdrinkingfountain/eng/about/index.html">http://www.hagen.com/dogitdrinkingfountain/eng/about/index.html</a></span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">I loved it straight away, no Molly slobbers or hair in my water and it was lovely and fresh.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Mummy says the filters are cheap too, especially if you buy them on ebay. It has a set of sponge filters which need changed every 6 months and a carbon filter that is changed every 4-6 weeks depending on how many dogs are using it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">I took a bit longer to get used to it, it was strange at first but I like it now. Beats drinking out the hose!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Tess and I would give this 4 paws up out of a possible 5.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">It lost a paw point because I managed to crack the base with my bone - it is still usable but we feel the base should be stronger!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Anyways folks, we hope you enjoy our blog and hopefully we will update a little more regularly!</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">For the past two weeks mummy has been taking me to training classes. I was a little scared at first as there was lots of barking dogs. However, I soon settled in and last Tuesday I was demonstrating in front of the whole class with the trainer! I'm so clever. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Mum says if all goes well with training I can start agility classes - I have no idea what that is but Mummy says you have to jump?Molly tells me it is fun - she said she particularly liked running around the arena.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq857S12cinfW8BsihENPMtZsG6D_LRk65QT1qlsKs2Vz4b9SWBtwV4nXyWU6GsLVQ29_49szjOamw_qVPrJmhsEpvElaSCONRGqQYszgD3cVu_M1TFlRmbcm1CTDhs2mgPaWhlWJpknWt/s1600/DSCF0924.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq857S12cinfW8BsihENPMtZsG6D_LRk65QT1qlsKs2Vz4b9SWBtwV4nXyWU6GsLVQ29_49szjOamw_qVPrJmhsEpvElaSCONRGqQYszgD3cVu_M1TFlRmbcm1CTDhs2mgPaWhlWJpknWt/s200/DSCF0924.JPG" width="200" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Today Molly and I went to the vet. Molly had her usual immunotherapy injection for her allergies and I have a VERY sore ear. The vet was nice to me and didn't put her otoscope</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">in my ear - she said it looked too sore. I have to have my ear cleaned three times a day and then mum has to wait half an hour after cleaning to put my drops in.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;">Mummy keeps putting a thing on my face when she cleans my ear - I can't open my mouth. I haven't said anything to mum so I don't know why she does it. I heard her telling daddy she wouldn't blame me if I bit her as </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 15px;">it looks sore - I haven't bitten anyone?</span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;">The best bit about the vets was that our vet, Karen, said I was her favourite Dalmatian :)</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;">After the vet, mummy took me down the high street where we met a lady who owned a flower shop. She made a big fuss of me and said to mummy she has a great friend in me.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><br />

While mummy was choosing my treats, Alex, the pet shop owner was cuddling me and feeding me a sausage. It was so tasty. I was very excited, I love getting cuddles. A lady came into the shop and was making a big fuss of me - her hair smelt nice. She said something about Herbal Essences then Essence of Luke the Labrador - is that a new shampoo?</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;">Mummy and Daddy then took Molly and I to Biggar Common to run around. It was so much fun!</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;">I've slept most of the afternoon!

I was so happy - I growled at mummy every time she tried to take it away, it is so delicious.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />

Our Aunty Sarah came all the way from Bracknell to visit us. She was so much fun - she played tug of war and fetch and took us for walks. In return Tess and I offered kisses and cuddles :)</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">(Tess) Yeah Aunty Sarah kept asking me to "play dead" before she would throw my toy, I was getting annoyed just a teenie bit. So if she asked me to "sit" I played "dead", if she asked me to "lay down" I played "dead". I found it rather amusing. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">(Molly) I think Aunty Sarah is coming back up in June - we really miss her! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Mummy has been taking us for nice walks when she finishes work, it's good to be able to stretch my legs after a day of lazing in my bed! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />

<br />
I realised, looking back I haven't really introduced myself properly.<br />
My name is Molly, I am 3 years and 3 months old. I am chocolate in colour with hazel eyes. I live with my mum, dad and sister Tess - a Dalmatian in bonnie Scotland.<br />
<br />
My hobbies include playing, eating, sleeping and belly rubs!<br />
<br />
Recently mummy had problems with my insurance.<br />
I have problems you see... I have something called Atopic Dermatitis (Allergies) it makes me very itchy, gives me ear infections and skin infections. Mummy says I will never get better but she gives me medicine every day and we go to the vet for special injections to help me every month.<br />
<br />
Mum said the insurance wasn't going to pay for me any more - she was really upset and kept having long baths and taking tablets for something called a "sore head" no idea what that is.<br />
On Wednesday, she ignored me for 2 hours while she was on the phone but at the end of it she said the insurance was giving me a new policy and she was happy again. I don't know what insurance is but if it makes mummy happy that's all that matters.<br />
<br />
I think I will start to share my Blog with Tess, in the hope that perhaps she will share the toys with me!<br />

I'm really excited.....I wonder if she likes Sponge Bob Square Pants?<br />

I love the snow!Tess and I have races around the garden - I always win.<br />
<br />
Mum and dad are not happy as they have to go back to work tomorrow, while I stay in the nice warm house with the TV on and a kong and goody bone to munch - it's a dog's life.<br />
<br />
I've learned not to be frightened of my water fountain and I am enjoying the fresh, cool water at last. It's a Dogit Large drinking fountain, if anyone is looking for one I would highly recommend it. Mum says it is easy to clean too.<br />
<br />
I am still waiting for my bone! Mum says I will have to wait until her long weekend this Friday. She says there was something called a bank holiday today, I have no idea what that is but mum said nothing was open. I think she is lying though - we had a delivery - they bring food every week to the house for mum and dad. It had Jumbones in it, yum yum!1in4 black dog http://www.blogger.com/profile/07657229918848906232noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790610130656454374.post-688694620418637422010-12-31T14:31:00.000-08:002010-12-31T14:33:11.429-08:0031rst Dec 2010It's been really uneventful here - the snow has not long melted so I am looking forward to being back outside again.<br />
<br />
Mum did take us for a walk but she fell on the ice and get this....she blamed ME! I really don't know what I did I was just walking along and she fell - not my problem!We haven't been out since then!<br />
Thankfully Mum has decided to stay home and celebrate new year with Tess and I - I am making a list of new year resolutions for her...1. treats at least 3 times a day, 2. new toys every week, 3. 4 runs a day, 4. a superking sized bed just for me.....this is as far as I have got!<br />
Mum has promised me a bone from the butchers.....I'm still waiting!<br />
<br />
Dad told me I am going to the vet's next week for something called "Boosters" - I think this may be a jab but I'm not bothered I get jabs every month - what's one more?<br />
I have also heard Mum and Dad discussing a holiday to Tralee Bay - I've been there twice and love it so I'm really excited about that but we usually go in September so I have AGES to wait!<br />
<br />
I was practising my tricks the other day, I can now do sit, down, stay, back, leave it, come, touch and tap, beg, high five, shake, walk in a circle around mum, tall, and bow. I'm a very clever girl!<br />
<br />
Well I'm going to see what I can mooch from Mum and Dad .....Happy New Year when it comes.1in4 black dog http://www.blogger.com/profile/07657229918848906232noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790610130656454374.post-9719516893488713952010-12-26T06:00:00.000-08:002010-12-26T06:00:50.861-08:0026 December 2010<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Merry Christmas everyone!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The day started for me with presents - I got a Kong Wubba (great for smacking Tess with), a Kong Goody Bone ...drool so tasty..., a racoon teddy with no stuffing and lots of treats!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Later I had a full turkey dinner - it was so good I wanted seconds but mum said no. After dinner I enjoyed a cuddle and a snooze.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today has been quite boring so far - mum and dad are going for a meal at dad's sisters - I'm not even invited! I am going to be left with Tess' favourite tv show, SpongeBob Square Pants - she even sings along to the music! Mum and dad had better make this up to me....</span>1in4 black dog http://www.blogger.com/profile/07657229918848906232noreply@blogger.com0
