My Gotcha Day

Today is my Gotcha Day!  It was one year ago today that I met mom and dad at my breeders and they didn't waste any time picking me out and bringing me home with them.
 How could they not fall in love with me.  Look how adorable I am!

Mom says that I am a very sweet girl and I'm smart as a whip but I do have a conniving evil side to me when it comes to Mitch but I love you, Mitch, even if I do give you a hard time sometimes and even if I bitey you on your rear leg kind of a lot!

 And who could have ever guessed then that the tennis ball would become my very favorite toy in the whole wide world!

 Then~

 And now~
I just love playing ball.  I could keep it up all day long!

 Mom made me my very own candle mat and it's surrounded by tons of tennis balls!

My first year with my family has been a winner!  I sure do love my life!

Love ya lots,
Molly

We're Celebrating Early

This coming Tuesday, April 30th is my Gotcha Day!  I've been with my family for almost one whole year!
And what better way to celebrate than with ice cream!

We're on our way to Wentworths!

Oh Mitchy - look at that messy, droolie face!  ewwwwwwww

That was fun!  Please, can we do it again soon?!



Guess what?  We met a new friend! She's an 8-week old AireGirlie and her name is Annie.  Isn't she adorable!
She's new to this world and new to blogging so if you have a chance, please stop by and welcome her!

So until next time..............

Love ya lots,
Molly and Mitch

My Emily Post

I am a HUGE fan of tennis balls!  I love to play catch morning, noon and night and I'd play 24 hours a day and 7 days a week if someone would play with me.  

 Mom calls raising my paw and waiting for my ball to be tossed my Emily Post. 

 I don't do it all the time but I do use it a LOT!   It helps me to focus better.

Do you think I'm weird or quirky?
Do any of you do this too?

Love ya lots,
Molly

My First Tour Pawty

It's me - Molly!  Today was my first tour of barns pawty and Mitchy wasn't kidding - it was AWESOME!
Hurry up and open up the door and let's get the pawty started!

 The students saved us Dunkin donuts!  whoooooooooohoooooooooooooo
Thank you - thank you!

 It's blueberry, Molly!    Me first!

 I'm am sure liking this Dunkin Donut, Mitch!

 Bell peppers!

 Tomatoes!

 Who cares what this is! It's all yummy!  We each got a potato chip and a piece of melon too!

 The tour of barns is over for another whole year.

Come on -  let's celebrate today before we head back inside!

We sure wish that you all could have joined us!  It sure was fun!

So until next time.............

Love ya lots,
Molly and Mitch

SnickerDoodles

Tomorrow is dad's annual tour of barns. No, we don't get to go on the tour but we get to clean up after the students have left to go on the tour.  We kinda call it Dunkin' Donuts day and our paws are crossed that SOMEBODY leaves one donut for us to share!

Today, we helped mom make snickerdoodle cookies. 
The unbaked cookies get rolled in a cinnamon sugar mixture before you bake them. 

 They sure do smell yummy!
See those last 2 cookies to the far left - the ones without the cinnamon sugar.  Those are for me and Molly.  I'm hoping that I get the bigger one.  I should seeing as I'm the oldest, right?

 Score! 
Molly got one too but mom missed the shot because Molly was too fast for her!

Maybe the students won't like them and there will be more for us, Molly.  Cross your paws!

We're off to help mom find cups and plates and napkins.
Tomorrow will be a fun day!

So until next time.............

Love ya lots,
Mitch and Molly

Timber Frame Weekend

Dad's timber frame class starts today.   The night before timber frame class weekend begins is always Pepe's pizza night for whoever wants to go.  Our paws were raised but unfortunately, we weren't invited.   booooooooooo

 The original clam pizza -  mom's favorite~

 Half of this one is mozzarella cheese and the other half is shrimp, bacon and garlic.  Four hoomans ate all but 4 pieces.  And did the 4 pieces come home to our house?  No. They went home with Kevin.  It was his first ever trip to Pepe's and he had a great time!

 Next door to Pepe's is Libby's.

 If you like Italian desserts, you have a VERY difficult time deciding which one to choose!   Dad, Frank and Kevin all had Italian ice.  Mom decided to go calorie-free for dessert and just take pictures!

 Dad had grape ice.  The ice is more grey than purple and dad says that it was delicious.  He brought home a pint of root beer ice so we'll be sure to get a taste of that!

Yes, we did get pizza bones!   Piggy mom didn't save us any of hers but our new bestest friend Kevin did! Thank you so much, Kevin!  You are a true friend!  Unfortunately, the flash didn't go off so there is no evidence but trust us - we got pizza!  yummmmmmmmm

So until next time......

Love ya lots,
Mitch and Molly

Asics Friday

Raking With Mom

Mom asked me if I would hang out with her while she raked behind the lumber barn.   Sure, of course, mom!
 Dad put a new stone foot bridge across the brook for us so we could cross without getting our feets wet.  The metal one that we had before broke. This one is nice and solid, dad!

 Aren't the daffies pretty in front of the lumber barn?

There's Buster!  Do you see him in between the trees?

He's doing okay.  He spends time in the water with the other birds and he spends time on the shore, not far from the water. Thank you so much for all of your love and support.  We miss Gussie every single day. 

The Flintstone Barnacles and one of the Grey Lag geese.  We have 5 Grey Lag geese now. 

Margaret and Penny and one of the fatassloudmouths.   You never see Margaret without this fatbutt goose swimming right alongside her.  She adores Margaret!

Enough of the waterfowl.
Can you see that I have a leaf in my beard?  I'm resting on a wonderfully cool pile of leaves that mom raked just for me. 

I found lots of sticks to chew on.

And I discovered that skunk cabbage stinks and I like it.  Mom missed the picture but I roughed up the skunk cabbage and threw myself on top of it and rolled around on top of it like it was poo and I continued to lay there like a hussy with my Airelegs spread for all the world to see!  Skunk cabbage is really cool stuff!

Time for some playbows and tuckbuttruns!

Here I come, mom, ready or not!

I'll help you rake anytime, mom! I sure had fun!

So until next time.......

Love ya lots,
Molly
