My Golden Girls...

It's hard to believe that Molly has barely been with us 2 weeks. Her Birthday is tomorrow (2 weeks to the day we got her!) and she will be 11.

The girls have coexisted very well from day 1, but it's interesting to begin to see them interact with each other. The 4 of us were walking yesterday evening and we walked by Cheyenne, the dog who lives next door. We stopped about 3-4 feet away from Cheyenne so Molly could see her from a distance. The first thing Molly did was nudge Tink and look at Cheyenne as if to say "Hey, what's the deal with this dog, is she a friend or not?"

Molly jumped into Tinker's bed with Tink in it last night too. She appears to want to touch Tinker when she is close to her : ) Tink isn't quite sure what she thinks of that yet. The concept of snuggling with any one else aside from her Mommy appears to be a bit disconcerting to the little girl!

I've also noticed that Molly seems to know that Tink is very well loved. She looks at Tink snuggled up in her bed or snuggled up with me and then looks up at us as if to say "I wish I had that...." And she is beginning to get some of that. I hope that she feels the love that we have for her here... she jumped up into bed with me and Tink this morning and again, laid down touching Tinker. The 3 of us had a chance to snuggle for 15 minutes or so this morning. (I didn't have to get out of bed and to work this morning... my car decided I needed a day off when it didn't pass inspection yesterday. The Jetta has since been fixed and is ready to go, but not until 10:30 this morning!)

I made some more meatloaf for the girls this morning...venison, peas, kale, cabbage, zucchini, yellow squash, eggs, some meatloaf has barley, some has oats. Tinker has been doing so incredibly well with the new home cooked diet and supplements (calcium and her Ph+ from Wysong). Both of the girls are looking and acting fabulous, body functions have regulated for the 2 of them too.

Molly has an appointment with a holistic vet in Palmyra next friday to see if there is anything naturally we can do for the cushings. She's on the high end of normal according to the last test and I would love to see if we can get her down into the low end of normal without drugs. There seem to be some good natural cushings help options online, but we're waiting to see what the vet says before we order anything else.

I have loved this morning with them. The 2 of them are currently sleeping in the same area... Tink on the floor, Molly on a bed. Everyone is quiet and peaceful; a beautiful way to spend the morning : )
