...dippy dopey doggie blogging...

Molly has had a tough day or so...
as I began to get sick Friday night...
I was less inclined to take a long after dark stroll...
so she's had a couple of "backyard moments"...
between yesterday and this morning...

so when I got home from church today...
we went on a walk...while the cats were eating...
and then, on our return, I fed her part of her dinner...



all the cat food had been consumed by the cats [what a concept...]
so I left the plates on the floor...
& I went into my bedroom to rest a bit...
upon my reappearing a couple of hours later...

I found this...



not one dish... or two... but THREE cat food dishes...
had been brought one by one into the dog zone...[aka the Batcave...]
to be licked clean of all remaining traces of "fishy goodness"...
[salmon & tuna/whitefish flavors...]

it seems the "fishier" it is ...the more Herself likes it...
mind you...all the food was gone...
this was at best a clean plate "lick-down"...

after preserving the dastardly doggy doings for posterity...
I opened the box that had finally gotten here...
it must have been traveling by mule train...

it contained the heated dog bed I had purchased for Molly...
a good suggestion from the doggy Godmom, Miz Minka...
when Molly was sliding her bed over the floor grate...
MM had found one on a web site that was much less expensive...
than most of the ones I had found...

since it's not really cold right now...
I'll wait until it is again before plugging it in...

but the heated bed wasn't the only thing I got for her...



she now has a bright yellow, hooded rain slicker...



I probably could have gotten the next bigger size...
and may yet do that, even though it does fit her...

in my defense [I am NOT the kind of person who dresses up animals]...
she does have short hair...

when we walked in the rain before...

she got soaked...
she shivered...
smelled bad for a while...
& got everything in the house wet...

so at least now when we walk in the rain...
she won't be miserable...
