As you can see from my new profile picture, Mollie has arrived home! Already peed and pooped on kitchen rug but what did we expect, she was pad trained at the breeders. We are potty training again folks, can you believe it? Is she not the cutest thing?

No sleep last night due to Mollie crying! She does not like her crate! We moved it closer to our bedroom so she could hear noise thinking this might work but nope. We will see what tonight brings. We thought we had the pee thing down pat since she has peed outside every time we take her out but while I was on computer, she came in and peed on carpet. Poop is another thing she does on rugs. Oh well, this is just day 3 and we knew it would take time. Lord, give me patience, right now!

Mollie did better last night. We took board out and gave her more room. We put treats in and she walked in but when I shut the door, the crying started. It did not last too long and she went to sleep. Started to cry again about 1:30 so got up and took her out and yep, she peed. Put her back in crate w/treat and some crying but calmed down shortly. She was up again about 5:15 so here we are, up for... the day. Still pooping on rug but Terry is starting to collect them and will deposit in yard so she can smell them and maybe get the idea. Also put ticking clock outside of crate so not sure which worked, more room or ticking clock. More on Miss Mollie or shithead as Terry is now calling her, tomorrow.........

We are thinking of a trip to Costco. Take the dog? Don't take the dog? Terry thinks she will cry if we leave her in car alone (and either pee or poop) and we could not do lunch. Do we leave her in the crate AGAIN? Decisions, decisions, and more decisions...........
(they took the dog and she slept in the car).

Hallelujah! Mollie had pooped in the yard! Not once, not twice but as of this morning, three times!!!! She also had her first encounter with one of the cats, Mr. Snowflake. Snowflake was rubbing her face and she kept jumping back then running forward like an attack dog. No claws were shown by the cat, just curiosity on his part. We also covered her crate with a towel last night, put the clock under and she slept all through the night! I even got up and she did not cry or bark. I think we are making wonderful progress. Today in the crate again while we shop, but hey, people work and leave their dogs on a daily basis so she should do fine.

Not such a good night last night! Mollie got up twice (I took her out) then she woke us up at 5:00am and Terry took over and let me sleep. She pooped and peed outside, he fed her and the cats and was having his coffee when I wondered into the kitchen. Terry's eyes were droopy and no smiles so on the couch he went w/Mollie on his feet. He slept for about and 1 1/2 hr and finally got a smile from him. He is calling her a blood sucker now due to a number of bites on hands, arms and earlobes. We keep giving her something to chew on, but she likes us best!

Forgot mention that we have accused the girls of trying to kill us off. On a walk on a leash w/Mollie yesterday, she started to run and I had to jog to keep up. Of course I got winded (I don't do anything close to jogging) and had to turn her over to Terry. Then later in the day, I let her out and Snowflake came up to her and they were rubbing and playing but Snowflake had enough and ran away. Well, Mollie ran right after her through the pine trees, in the pasture and finally out by the road with me on Mollie's tail trying to catch her before she went into the street. I'm telling you the truth, the girls are trying to kill us!

Morning started out @ 4:00am with Mollie crying to get out. Took her outside and of course, it's raining. All hunched over in my jammies getting my back all wet. She peed and back into the crate she went. Cried just a little as I crawled back into bed and tried to snuggle to get warm. Terry said 'what the heck, why are you wet?' She woke again at 6:00am and Terry took her out grumping all the way.... Jackson spent the night and did not wake up once. We had breakfast, cleaned up kitchen and I was off to take a bath. Got myself together and asked the last time the dog went out, no one knew so I started to take her out and found out no one had been paying attention, she pooped in living room and I stepped in it. Jumped outside, took off my shoes and stood in my clean white socks in the yard while Mollie did her thing. Stripped off socks, put them in washer, cleaned up tennis shoes, cleaned carpet and by this time, I felt I needed to take another bath!

Mollie up at 1:30am, Terry was on duty and outside she went. Back in crate until 5:30am and I was on duty and outside she went (no really, she went both pee and poop). So far so good this morning! Yesterday, we took her to Butler and she was passed around by 6 or 7 different ladies who were ooowing and aaahing over her sweet face. Blue was busy so no meeting the big guy. I was checking FB and hear...d her chewing and looked to see what was being destroyed now. She was chewing on new WiFi cable under the desk. I told her no, don't chew cable and Terry started laughing, 'Like she knows what you are talking about!', but hey I can try to communicate with the critter, can't I? Mr. Turtle was given in hopes she would be distracted and it worked! (for 30 seconds)...............
