Otis Too update and meetup

Tyree July 10th, 2008

Otis Too has been blossoming under the watchful eye of his foster mom, veterinarian Lisa. She reports that he is doing very well for himself these days. He is down to 36.5 pounds and his waistline is starting to come in. He followed Lisa to work at the clinic this past weekend and was extremely responsive to whatever people asked him to do (for instance, waiting in the room instead of running down the hall). He is also becoming quite savvy in dog speak these days and makes friends wherever he goes. He does like to have his opinion heard while playing, but the other dogs ignore it as it is just Otis being Otis.

Both Lisa and Otis Too, along with Lisa’s Frenchie Kermit, will be at the Rescue Roundup in Flagstaff, AZ this Saturday. If you are in the neighborhood, stop by and say hi. Otis Too would LOVE to meet you!

Molly knows how to chill…

Have you met little Miss Molly O’Malley McGee? You haven’t? You should. She’s quite charming with her one blue eye and her one brown eye. Molly came to us back in March. She used to live in a commercial kennel in Tennessee and it did not seem like she had had much interaction with people. Life has changed though for Molly since coming to the Village. Here’s what her foster mom, Debby, reports:

Molly is making a little progress with letting us touch her. This morning for the very first time, she put her front paws on my chair to let me love on her! I was so excited that I yelled for David to look at her and she got scared and took off! However, she did come back later and I got to pet her. She really likes to be loved–but only on her terms. She is very playful and loves to play with our other Frenchie Mia! They run laps through the house, outside, then back through the house again. Molly also loves the little pool in our backyard. After running her laps, she will jump in the pool and flop down on her belly to cool off.

Molly is a very good eater–in fact, we have to be careful because she will eat anything! She is almost house broken and we are working on getting her leash trained. She’s not quite ready to get on the Bus yet, but we know she will make someone a wonderful companion someday!
