Mollie's little family

On Sunday we went to Elvaston Castle, near Derby, and met up with Mollie's previous owner and her two dogs Murphy and Deezal.

Murphy - in the middle - is the father of Mollie's pups; and Deezal is one of their pups. Aren't they a good-looking little family? Mollie got on really well with both of them, although Murph had a bit of a one track mind and kept trying to get his leg over. It was really lovely - and all three dogs were utterly shattered afterwards!!

New food

A couple of weeks ago, I changed Mollie's food. The stuff she was on before is wholesome enough, but didn't agree with her a huge amount. And she was never very enthusiastic about it. But as you can see from the piccy above, she absolutely loves her new food and actually demands to be fed now.

She will still sometimes share with the cats as well, although she has taken to protecting her food occasionally - which normally results in it being removed sharpish by me, and only given back if she does some tricks (just giving paw etc). Charley cat (above) is Mollie's best friend and also "The Boss" so will generally box Mollie's ears if she uses bad language. I had honestly never seen it done before, but Charley sits up and literally throws punches at the sides of Mollie's head... Charley is one heck of a cat -I think she thinks she's OUR boss too!

PS The food that the wee beasties are now eating is a natural wet food - I don't want to advertise them particularly, but if you're interested in feeding any of your pets a more natural diet, join the campaign for better pet foods at www.crpf.org.uk.
