12 - Molly The Snow Dog

-
Molly did a fantastic job with her first overnight with us.  This was the first night she's ever spent without another dog in the house/kennel and she was a sweet little angel.  She's been very quick to settle into a routine and is very intelligent, listens to commands.  We are not sure how much snow she's seen in her life, but she doesn't seem to make sense of it just yet and gets spooked by odd sounds (like melting snow falling from trees).  Gotta keep a tight grip on that leash as she is super quick when she wants to go!  It's all just a learning experience for her and we are glad we have the chance to show her new things...

16 - Molly Days

Molly has been slowly opening up to us each day a bit more.  Yesterday, unprompted, she sat down with the kids on the floor and laid her head on Suzanne's leg.  She did this about three times.  She's still does not like to be disturbed when she is sleeping so we've learned to leave her be.  We also found a bone she likes to chew finally as other ones we got her were not a big hit.  Although she loves all food, not everything agrees with her stomach.  Its been a bit of a struggle to find the right food for her but Purina Pro Plan Sport (suggested by Gail from GPAD) seems to be the right choice.  We noticed an immediate improvement.  I can't say it works well for every greyhound off the track, but for Molly, it certainly has.  Oh, and she chewed through two cords so far that were plugged in to the wall (thus our quest to find her chew bones).  But, with a face like this how can you stay mad?

When we go on walks with Precious, it is full radar alert time.  The ears go up, face forward, and the sight tracking begins.  There is not one sound she doesn't respond to.  She has exceptional hearing.  Not a big fan of trash trucks and school buses.  However, she's done really well with other dogs.  Interested, but non aggressive.  She's a good girl...
