Growing Pains

Our little friend Molly is now nearly fifty pounds and still very puppy-like. A fifty pound puppy is something to be reckoned with as Sky will tell you.

Some days it’s just too cold to get off of the couch.
She looks so sweet and innocent.
Let me help you with that.
I can help.
Stop. I told you to stop!
I’ll show you a thing or two pup!
And she’s off.
Say uncle!
Molly! Knock it off!
I told you to knock that off!
Please don’t tell me she’s coming back.

Walking the Dogs

The puppy Molly continues to look for guidance from Luna and Sky. Luna is particularly patient with the youngster while Sky worries that Molly might be just trying to get her sticks. Molly the puppy will soon be Mollydog but for now she is Mollywog, all wiggly and squirmy and full of puppy energy. And maybe I should just call this the Mollyblog!

Dogs Make Me Happy

But you knew that already, didn’t you?

The girls and I were delighted when Molly came up to play in the new snow this morning.

 

Oh good, I got her by the ear.
Luna says – don’t pull my ear.
What did I tell you?
Watch yourself little one.
I wonder if she knows her ears are inside out?

Dogs Just Want to Have Fun

Luna and Sky love water and they love the beach. We never did fully tire them out despite throwing sticks over and over and over again. Sky would still be at it if we could keep up with her. Luna took breaks to smell stuff.

 

Beach Dogs

Razor clam season opened up on our favorite Washington coast beach and we were able to get away for a long weekend for some much-needed fun times at the beach. We welcomed the vernal equinox (and my birthday) near Pacific Beach with fried clams and chocolate cake before going out to dig more clams. Ken did some surf fishing also. It was a fun weekend and a great getaway from the long mud season we are experiencing here at home.

As you might imagine, the dogs were thrilled with the idea. We even took along an extra dog, our old buddy Wyatt Ann. She’s not Sky’s favorite dog pal but Luna likes her. Sky seems to be recovered from her strained bicep tendon that has bothered her since December. We still do not throw sticks and balls for her since she puts all of her canine energy into retrieving. She was happy to just run on the beach, bring things to us and have the other dogs try to catch her.

Oh look – he got one!
Fast dogs
Would it be too much to ask them to all look at me at the same time?
Hey – look over there!
Looks a little windy Luna.
