Sure has been an exciting 24 hours for Little Miss Molly. Last night was the annual grandkids "spend-the-night" to bake and decorate Christmas cookies, play games and just have fun.
All this despite the fact that my wife had knee surgery yesterday. She is doing fine.
Molly loves all six of the grandkids dearly and when they are around, Miss Molly cancells all of her naps. I took the little rascal out for a late night walk in the wind and rain. By then she was way, way short on her beauty sleep. When I took her out again this morning the weather had changed completely. The wind chill was somewhere way down in the pits. After Miss Molly did her "business" and again tried to cover it up, I mentioned the word "treat" and she headed for home at breakneck speed pulling me behind her. That is a magic word for her and one sure way to get her to want to come back home.
One of our readers sent an interesting email explaning that when dogs try to scratch the ground and "cover up" their bathroom business, that, in reality, they are scratching out their territory, leaving their scent, to warn other dogs not to invade. That's interesting. I knew tigers, lions and other wild animals did that.
I got up at 5 this morning and Molly was at a fever pitch wanting to awaken the grandkids. Instead, I picked her up and tippy-toed into my weather office and shut the door. Then I sneaked into the kitchen to get my first delicious, delectable and flat-out great tasting cup of Maxwell House. Molly knew I would be back in a minute or so. When I opened the office door to come back in, she shot between my legs like a minute-man missle. In about three huge leaps, she became airborne and landed on one of the grandkids sleeping on the couch and was all over her trying to wake her up. Today, Molly has had zero naps afraid that she will miss something. But when the kids go home, Miss Molly will sleep most of two days. Hey, I may get a break! Life goes on whether it be warm or wind chill in the teens!
