Molly sometimes gets frustrated when her dad doesn't listen to her with regards to interacting with & training me because they both have quite different approaches. But yesterday evening me & Molly's dad really impressed her when I demonstrated how he'd taught me the command "wait". Molly thought it was a fluke so when he went out she tested me & I showed her that I really do understand it. Aren't I clever?!
The attempts to groom me have continued. I had my eyebrows trimmed a few days ago because they were so long that I couldn't see properly. Molly's dad trimmed off a bit too much but I can see now & Molly loves being able to see my eyes again.
Molly continues to insist on trying to get the matts out of my coat & I'm getting better at cooperating with her because she's very gentle. I do mouth her though if she pulls too hard but she said that's understandable. She also tries to get all the sticky seeds out of my coat after each walk to prevent them causing more matts. When I decide I'm bored or have had enough of being groomed I just walk away!
Molly & her dad have started trying to detangle my beard too but I don't like that because it pulls.
I had good fun playing with another schnauzer I like when Molly's mum took me for a walk one day. She looked very smart next to scruffy me because she'd just been groomed! I'm getting better at coming away from dogs once I've said hello but I still can't resist running off to greet them.
I've also enjoyed socialising with people. When Molly's friend came round to see her I made a bit of a nuisance of myself because I just wanted to play with her. Molly's older brother did return the day I wrote my last update so that was very exciting. And due to all my excitement at him staying in my house I tried to play with Molly's mum & dad when they went to the toilet in the night. They didn't want to play with me though. Humph!
Molly & her dad returned home from a trip out with some pizzles, chicken feet & tripe to refill my treat tin. Yum yum! They also had to buy a new food bag for walks because Molly's dad lost yet another one! This time they bought a spare one too for next time he loses one!
I mooched around Molly's feet when she cooked tea in the hope that she'd give me some people food but she didn't. I did get a couple of pieces of pepper later though as a reward for following some basic commands.
When I was home alone for a couple of hours I helped myself to my collar & a plastic bag containing a poncho off the top of the washstand. Molly had forgotten I could reach things on there, hehe!
I made a lot of noise at the front door trying to tell Molly that I wanted a walk. Her parents were both out though & she's not well enough to walk me at the moment so instead she got my flirt pole out & we had good fun playing together in the garden. It didn't use up much of her energy but it wore me out! I was good at "wait"ing but didn't want to give up the toy (on the end of the bungee cord) when I caught it, despite Molly asking me to "leave it"!
I enjoyed watching some otters on the TV.
And here are some photos of me resting & sleeping:

Me & Molly have never been too fussed about how many people see this blog but Molly is getting a bit disheartened at the recent lack of visitors. So if you do see this then please could you mention/recommend my blog to someone else because we'd like to make more people smile with my adventures & photos. If views don't pick up then Molly is thinking of continuing til my first birthday next month & then calling it a day. Thank you.
