:o :o boo to you all..
well molly is almost 12 weeks old and has almost doubled her weight from when she was 8 weeks old,she certainly has grown,she's starting to look leggy.she towers the lhasa apsos.l've seen a little drool the other day on the side of her face,pity my uncle didn't when he stroked her lmao.
molly's sleep in clock is altering too,she used to sleep on till l woke up once my boyfriend had left for work but didn't this morning haha,l dont mind getting up though.she is my early morning alarm clock.she will come in handy when the kids are back in school in afew weeks...it would just be my luck that then she starts to have a lie in and the kids be late for school lmao ::)

It goes so fast. You barely have time to enjoy the puppyness smallness and low and behold they're huge. I still want Tripper to come snuggle on my lap but now he takes up my lap and a good part of the couch. And she looks like a sweetie.
-
I have to agree puppyhood goes so fast. One minute you're carrying them around the house and the next minute they're carrying you hahaha. Enjoy it all while you can and take loads of photos because with Jaspa our first newfie we never had a working camera so we have very little photos of him as a puppy which is something that i regret now.
-
aww.what a shame. :-\ molly is a funny character,we love her to bits.my kids have gone to their dads for a week so molly certainly keeps me going haha.you need eyes in the back of your head hhaa. :o
we'll take some photos tomorrow when we take her out for a walk.

Ah she is sooo cute! Are you planning on showing her?
-
Oh my gosh, what a cutie! And it looks like her jowls are growing into the floppy adult jowls. Newfie jowls, although messy, are one of their cutest traits.
-
we can't get over how fast she is growing.we got her a kong yesterday which comes in handy when l am not with her.also she now has a lovely pink collar instead of the blue one so now there is no mistaking that she is a girl haha. :D ;D
-
l thought l'd post these,,
they are pics from the dog show. :o
-
Aww...Molly is so stinkin' cute!! Thanks for sharing the pictures of the show...She looked so perfect with that rosette!! She needs more!
-
awww she sure is a sweetie. ;D
-
she's adorable! iti is sad how fast they grow...but the inside stays a puppy for alot longer, so that eases the blow :D
-
:) thanks for your lovely comments! as for showing her ...we are considering it.at the moment we are enjoying having her as a pet.she is full of mischief and enjoys a belly rub.her bark has got alot louder and she tries to rule my lhasa apso's but they aren't having any of it haha :P.

Yes, it eases the blow for us humans, but unfortunately, increases the "blows" to our knick knacks, picture frames, vases, plants...anyth ing within reach of their baseball bat tails! We have nothing breakable lower than Sierra's tail. I have had to pack away all of my blue delft collection and all pictures have been hung up on the wall. Hurricane Sierra is still a baby, but she still thinks she can barrel through the house at full speed... ;D ;D ;D

LMAO! Bubba is my 'hurricane'. He's almost 2 and a half and he still runs around like he's a puppy.
-
haha,l haven't moved everything,just some things and my childrens toys.what age would you say newfies settle down??
-
Who knows?? I'm only 6 1/2 months into the Newfie experience, so I'd like to know the answer to that one myself...I think I read somewhere about 2 yrs old... Our friend was up to visit with his 9 month old Great Dane, Thunder. He grabbed one of Sierra's bones and refused to give it up. Sierra and our Black Lab, Magic, started to chase him... You should have seen the three of them racing around the house... I felt the floor vibrating!!

thanks for that.this morning molly was pawing at her eye,when l looked it has green pus next to it which she must of wiped out with her paw,also her lower eyelid has drooped abit,l think it might be conjunctivitis so she's going to the vets tonight.she looks part bloodhound now with her pink droopy eyelid...pooor thing
-
molly went to the vets and she has either an ulcer or a scratch on her eye aswell as conjunctivitis,so we have to give her cream in her eye.her eye already looks alot better and she has been more her usual self today....torme nting the life outta the kittens and toffy.hope you're all doing okay
debi and ste ??? ::)
-
hahaha just wait till they start accidentaly 'nut tapping' your hubby and his friends with their tail when they walk bye!
-
We have Hurricane's Daisy & Cassie. ::) ;D They like to run through the house in the morning sliding into walls and knocking into Sammy & I. It's a little like running with the bulls around here some days. ;D :o ::) Oh and when do they stop? LOL, Daisy is 8 y/o and Cassie is 2 y/o and no sign of it letting up yet (and that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned). ;)
-
:D hahah lmao,like the part about nut tapping.as for sliding into walls,molly does that now,as l dont have carpet down in the kitchen and dining room,just laminate.also the kids are getting a swimming poool in the garden later on ,so l'll have to block it off or molly will be in it haha. :o

I'm glad Molly's eye is getting better all ready. As for the cats, Sierra is the same way. Gina tries to be friends and rub up against her, but Sierra just follows her around, making sure Gina is right between her two front legs and snuffles her and gets her all slobbery. Gina cries but I figure if she was really hating it, she wouldn't keep coming back for more. And she always goes up to Sierra and tries to pet herself against the dog. She either doesn't mind it, or is just stupid. I haven't decided which it is yet... LOL!
As for Oscar, he's just a fat grumpy cat and he tries to fight back. Sierra thinks the flying paws is a game and gets Oscar even grumpier!
I figure they'll all figure out their places in the household sooner or later.

lol,l know what you mean stephanie.jami e also rubs up next to mlly,gets carried off by her ear and goes back for more,then sometimes he has no say in the matter cos molly pounces on him
