Molly is coming along nicely following her surgery on Monday.
Our temperature ranged from -25 to -30 Celsius today so we took a pass on our walk. Yesterday, our favourite human Genie came by and we went for a major hike across the ball diamonds through snow 1 – 2 feet high in places. The snow was in hard packed drifts and there were plenty of footprints which made it challenging to get through at places. The trip back, via the pathway through Regent Park was considerably easier. All in all, a good outing.
Today, I figured Molly and I could use a break. I sorted through kitchen cupboards and did an inventory of baking supplies. Despite still being on painkillers and sedatives and wearing that gigantic collar, Molly has kept herself busy all day just being Molly.
And… just because this seems like a day when people could use a smile, here is a picture that granddaughter Maddy did yesterday. For a twelve year old with no professional training, I think her work is amazing – and it is just so darn Maddy. 😊
Keep warm, stay safe, and have a great rest of the day! 💞🌞

Wow, her art is really good, Anne Marie! Poor Molly, she will be happy when that cone is taken off. ❤️

Thank you, John. We will be glad when the cone comes off as well. It certainly does not make Molly any more graceful than usual!

Oh, my, what a lovely drawing! I love all the colors and details–just delightful and it makes me smile, too. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I am glad Molly is doing well, and I guess it takes a large cone for such a large dog! That is one cold day–I wouldn’t have gone either!

Very unlike her grandmother, who cannot reply to a comment without accidentally deleting it. 🙄

Thank you, Mags. I don’t know how much longer Molly’s collar will last. It is already all bent up from running into door frames and the like. 😂

You should see her trying to run up the back steps when I call her into the house. She is improving but those first few runs were painful to watch.
