Molly Dane - Saturday

Molly modelling her new pink/purple collar and enjoying a chew with one of her new toys.

Today we decided to take a trip with Molly to the nearest pet superstore. It's about a 25 minute journey. So, armed with towels, carrier bags, wet wipes, kitchen rolls etc.. off we went. I sat in the back of the car with Molly, plastic bag posed at the ready....lol At first she was very restless... but I kept her calm with plenty of gentle talking and stroking..... and she was brilliant! We arrived with clean bags and towels... fantastic!

It was a lovely experience... everyone stopped to talk and have a stroke... Molly enjoyed all the attention too. The only problem we had was being able to carry Molly for any length of time. We could manage about 15 minutes each before our arms became someone elses...lol.

One thing I did find a little disturbing was someone asked if we were going to breed from her. When I smiled and said she was going to be a very loved pet only and will be getting her spayed, he replied, '...she is such a stunning looking girl it's a shame not to breed'.

We did manage to find a couple of new toys and a pretty pink/purple collar for her... she looks a star in it. Pink/purple are certainly her colours.... We found it very difficult to find soft toys without a squeak... why? Tazzy is 3 years old and needs to be crystal clear that when Molly squeaks he has been a little too rough - squeaky toys would only serve to confuse communication and promote excitement. Also an important lesson for Molly to learn too.

The journey back home was good and Molly remained calm throughout... brilliant! During the ride home, Molly enjoyed pulling and chewing the laces off her new leather slipper...
