Update on Molly

Several people have asked me how Molly is doing, so here is an update. Molly has been fine since her attack and has not needed more medication. She appears to be her usual silly, suck-up self. This dog has never met a stranger. She has never attacked anything except the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum sucked up one of her play socks once, and she now tries to establish dominance. At least she doesn't mount the vacuum cleaner like she does poor Baby. But Baby is a good little beagle who knows her place and takes it like a man. (Baby's real name is Rosie, but that is another story.)

I cut walks for a few days to let her neck rest, and will be taking them out today. They wear harnesses, not choke chains, in deference to Molly's medical issue. I also take my cell phone when we walk, since I doubt I could carry her home while leading Baby on the leash if she has a problem when we are walking. 

Molly is fine for now. She may have another attack at any time, or never again. They don't happen often, but seeing her tremble and hold her head down and walk off kilter due to the pain is horrible. I know she is past it when her tail goes back up. Her tail is up, and we are going to hit the streets!

               I'm glad Molly is better!


               Are you going to party on your Birthday tomorrow, Suzy?

               I saw  that comment from you on my Journal, LOL!  Murder and mystery in the White House, the things one finds out about Presidents!  Did they ever put Harding on any currency?   I'm still trying to figure out how Ben Franklin got on a hundred dollar bill when he wasn't even President...talk about charisma!

Best wishes,
Debi

Hi Suzy,

I hope you got my e-mail the other day.  I finally made it here and I am glad.  I am so sorry about Molly.  I hope they won't have to fuse the disks together.

My prayers are with Molly that she does not have another attack.  Please keep us posted.

xoxo,
Anita
