Molly and Michael Vick

When I am watching football, Molly will not allow me to pull for Michael Vick. Its because of all of the trouble he got into with the dogs. Molly believes that anybody that abuses dogs is not worth paying attention to. I have to agree with her.
There are certain football players that come along that I just enjoy watching play even though they do not play for a team I pull for. Barry Sanders, Lawrence Taylor, Steve Largent, Jim Zorn, Earl Campbell are just a few of the names. I enjoyed watching Michael Vick play. He is probably the best athlete to ever play Quarterback in the NFL. When I started watching the Philadelphia Eagles-Washington Redskins game last Monday night, Molly showed her indifference by going into the room (after she farted, of course, to really let me know what she thought).
It is true that he has paid his debt to society by serving his prison time and doing everything that has been asked of him but how many convicted felons can step right back into a job like that and stand to make millions more in the future just because he can run with and throw a football. Is he truly repentant? Or is this just a public relations move in order to get back in the good graces in the public's eye? That is yet to be seen. As long as Molly don't find out, I can still quietly enjoy watching him play.

taking care of Molly

I have to have a colonoscopy tomorrow and my first concern is my dog Molly rather than my own health. I have already put a contingency plan in place in case something goes wrong and I end up in the hospital for a few days or something worse.I have even gone so far as to start researching pet wills as to how I want Molly taken care of if I die first.
Molly has grown accustomed to a certain lifestyle and it is really funny. She gets a dog treat as soon as I get up in the morning, 4 dog treats when I get home in the afternoon, but she is also accustomed to a life of leisure. She sleeps on the bed, she sleeps on the couch, and she has the run of the house. She is the diva. She pretty much gets whatever she wants whenever she wants it. Thats just the way it is.

molly is a diva

My dog Molly is an 8 1/2 year old diva if there ever was one. She is a mixed breed but AKC diva. She has the run of the house and flaunts it. She has certain expectations of me (an Ol' Roy munchy bone as soon as I get up in the morning and 4 dog biscuits when I get home in the afternoon)and if i do not meet these expectations, she vociferously lets me hear about it. She tells me when she wants out, when she needs water, and when someone or something (like those flea bags down the street) is in the yard. She is not fond of UPS's big brown truck or anyone she doesn't know and refuses to recognize. She also doesn't like my family which kind of works out well for me. Last night she hopped up on the couch to lay down down beside me the couch pillows were not arranged to her liking. She gets up, takes her teeth and arranges them to her satisfaction, pats them down with her nose, and she was set. If there is such thing as reincarnation I want to be reincarnated as a dog that has an owner like me.

molly was cute

I saw a video post this morning that shows this 5 or 6 week old puppy sleeping and he starts woofing and yipping in his sleep while he is laying beside this stuffed doll. The puppy is laying flat on his back as well. It was really cute and I thought "Molly still does stuff like that." I just don't have it on video. She barks and woofs in her sleep (she has even awakened herself barking before and then looked at me like "what did you wake me up for?"), she "chases" rabbits and squirrels in her sleep with her paws just digging on the floor, and once in a great while she sees someone that she likes in her dreams and she will start wagging her tail and thumping the floor with it. The one thing you do not do while Molly is having one of her dreams is wake her up. She has about taken a bite out of me on several occasions when I made that mistake.
