Thank you for all the words RQ
Next time I get a animal cat or dog I'm going to try training them now that I don't work or anything I have plenty of time to work with them and better yet I have Andit to give me some tips, our own private animal expert!

There's no reason you can't teach Mollie some tricks. Age is relative after all.:)

What tricks does she know how to do?

Does she like to play tug? Tug is a very useful skill to have. I've taught my dog to untie my shoelaces, pull off gloves (btw, brr, it's cold here today), pull off socks, help me take off jackets & sweaters by tugging on the sleeves - very helpful tricks on days when arthritis hits & my hands don`t want to work properly.

If Mollie likes treats, you can teach her "Find It". Start with a treat in an obvious place & tell her to find it (help her if she needs it). Once she figures out that find it means hunt for the cookie, you can hide it in less obvious places. Eventually, you can turn the game into having her find other things for you. My dog will let me know where the cat is when he decides to be naughty & hide. :lolsign:

She doesn't really do any tricks that anyone has taught her and she loves to play tug a war I think it's a terrier thing lol, so aggressive at times. When she was just a couple months old barely bigger then my hand I rolled a ball away from her and she was after it in a flash lol tried to bring it back and eventually got it to me but more of a rolled it back to me since she was too little to pick it up lol. At about the same time I told her to dance holding a treat over her head and since then you just say dance and she will stand up on hind legs and turn circles, I guess thats kind of a trick. The most amazing thing shes ever done is when she was about 6 months old I brought her home a toy that you pull the string and it wriggles around. When I got tired of pulling the string for her she grabbed the string and after several tries at pulling it herself put her paw on it and dam if she didn't pull the string it was so cute she was not tall enough to pull the string all the way so lol she'd have to pull it twice as often as I would but she'd do that until the string would break then she'd be broken hearted lol so for awhile there I spent a lot of time picking her up more wriggly toys at petsmart. Other then that she will occasionally obey when u tell her to sit but nothing else. My nephew would pick her up while playing tug a war with her and walk around with her hanging from the toy, he'd tell her to hang on and she would but I made him stop I was worried it'd hurt her teeth.
Seek I need to scan a pic I have of my daughters cat looking out the back door. lol from several feet up. Whenever she'd go out the back door he'd run over there and jump up catch the little ledge of the window to look out and see where she was going. With encouragement he'd of probably learned to open the back door to go after her lol she did buy him a harness and we'd walk him and Molle together although he'd get tired of it quick and would be more dragging him behind.
Andit I'll have to play hide with Mollie she'd love that and she's been extremely bored since the kids left after xmas. They were here for 4 days and she's not used to having them so long, they can usually only stay a couple days at most, she's really missed them and has been asking to play more then she used to since they left but u can tell she still is missing them, I can't even say our son's name without her getting all excited. She's the only creature on earth that likes to sleep with him lmao he's all over the place he may start out with his head at the top of the bed but he'll end up with it at the foot or find himself on the floor in the mornings, never saw anyone wander so much in their sleep, but Mollie won't sleep with anyone else when he's here. Ok lol so sorry get carried away about my furbaby at times. Loved the videos had only seen the one where he rolled over, sat, begged, licked his paws and touched his paws earlier didn't realize there were more so glad Racefan said something or i'd of missed the other 15 videos lol.

Haunish, When looking for a chihauhau look at the parents of the puppy. They are often nervous so get one that isnt too nervous. Like if the puppy shakes, then its probably too nervous to be around children. Mine are very friendly and affectionate. But kizzie will bark continuously if anyone who doesnt live here comes into the house, took her a little while to get used to johns best friend and the boys girlfriends, but she hates daves brother's family and a cousin of mine. They eat very little and if you feed them scraps they get bigger than they should. They have to have a continuous supply of food and water. Although they usually carry one piece of food at a time off to another area and eat it. If there is any particular question you have feel free to ask and I will try to answer it.

Good Morning all. Thanks for the words, I gave out rep where I could. Today I just went through each page and gave rep to everyone, I hope I got everyone.

I have to say this 'cause ever since I read Andit's post I have this very strange picture in my head, and yea I is very sick person.

I can just see Andit all dressed in her leathers with a whip in her hand says "NO FOOTBALL ON TV FOR YOU! YOU MUST LEARN HOW TO BE A REAL MAN!! NOW GO MOW THE LAWN, CLEAN THE GARAGE, DO THE LAUNDRY, WASH THE DISHES. ONLY THEN CAN YOU WATCH FOOTBALL".

And then when that is done she is patting him on the head saying "Good man, yeas that's a good man. Tomorrow we will teach how to make beds and clean toilets."

I told you was sick. LOL

So that will explain my "absence" lately.
Need a favor...please keep my family member in your thoughts and prayers...pray for his safety and pray to find strength for my family :)

will do mam;)

Thank you everyone for your very sweet and kind thoughts and prayers! I guess I am taking it well, mostly because I had prepared myself beforehand, and we kind of had a strong feeling about it. We also had a pregnancy end very late stage (5 months) between Winter and Monet, so we were prepared for the possibility this time. The first time was horribly devastating, since everyone thinks that once they are past that 'magical' 3 month mark things will go well.

I am jealous of anyone with good weather, it is horrible here. I had to send DH out into the snow this evening to get milk, and I felt bad doing it. Even Winter didn't want to go out and play in it, the wind is just too cold and forceful.

I think I might just go soak in the bath as a reward to myself for getting that wiki done.... LOL

Goodnight everyone, sweet dreams :)

Thank you Ms Wikikeeper....that was one big crapload of words, huh??

ya know, the door's open for you here as well!!

I'm saying lots of prayers for your appt today!!!! Big Hugs!!!
