Mollie is definitely "chewish"

Mollie continues to explore. However, anything that can be chewed, she finds. Paper, plastic bags, clothing etc is not safe. A squeaker toy is not safe because she doesn't stop until she's ripped it out of the toy. Yael decided to buy her new chew toys from the Internet that were described as "indestructible." The first one was a yellow triangle with two squeakers sown in with double stitches. Unfortunately, it's a little too big for her mouth. The second is a rubber ball that allows you to put a treat in the middle. It's supposed to keep dogs occupied as they try to figure out how to get the treat out. It took Mollie no time to get the treat. The third is a soft lamb with squeakers in each of its four feet. Each stitch was double reinforced. Within ten minutes, Mollie ripped out all the squeakers. The three toys cost $40. We sent the manufacturer an email but so far no response.

It's the Great Pumpkin, Mollie Cohn

Yesterday, two pumpkin festivals took place. The first was in Townshend, VT. We were able to bring Mollie and she had a great time greeting all the people. I have come to expect that folks are going to be drawn to her. She is so friendly whether it is a person or another dog. Aside from seeing some interesting vendors, we got to eat delicious pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin pie. A good time was had by all. The second festival was in Keene, NH. It was a lot of fun with some unbelievable carved jack-o-lanterns. We got to eat pumpkin soup and pumpkin beer. Unfortunately for Mollie, dogs were not allowed.

Mollie Discovers Fall

Fall has settled into Vermont. The trees are truly beautiful. Mollie enjoys walking down our road and gets excited with each falling leaf. We stop by the West River each day where she likes to sniff all along the rocks. We decided to take her with us as we attended the various fairs and festivals during Columbus Day weekend. Mollie continues to attract a crowd who all marvel at her winning personality. It is amazing how many smiles she puts on people's faces.

Mollie's New Addiction

I bought her a "buddy stick" at the pet store. It is all natural and only 89¢. She chewed on it for over five hours. Then I realized that it actually cost $8.99. An expensive treat. We decided to try an all natural rawhide bone that cost $2.50. She enjoyed it as much.
