Vet Check up

After having Mollie for 2 days we thought it best to give her a vet check up.  In the vets  mollie was very good, though some cats got a bit frightened.  When we went in she was the same.
The vet was nice and mollie liked him as soon as he gave her a treat and we got started right away.  First he asked some question then checked her eyes, body and ears.

When he gave her her vaccinations she bit the vet and whimpered.

Mollie
It wasn't really a dog hotel. It was owned by a farmer.
Each dog had a little area each and didn't get much exercise and were fed scraps of meat.
After a year the farmer decided to shoot the dogs.

Some nice men heard about this and offered to find them homes.
The week before they picked up the dogs the farmer went away on holiday leaving the dogs in their crates.

With the hard life mollies had she is probably the sweetest dog i know.

Finding Mollie


Before we considered getting Mollie we either going to get a greyhound or a whippet.
We searched breeders and dog shelters all over the country.

Recently we visited a friend and on the drive back we stopped at a house with a lurcher for sale. I wasn't sure what the dog would be like since i had never seen a lurcher before.

We drove up to the dogs house, opened the little gate and were greeted by a friendly man and a beautiful dog.
I fell in love with her at once.
Mollies sister poppy
There had been another man looking at her just before us and unfortunately he has first pick so the man agreed to text us with his answer.

We asked if we could have a think about it (Already knowing our answer (Yes!).)and went to a cafe to have tea and cake.
The man texted back to say the other guy took her (I was very annoyed.).
Relief flooded into me when he texted saying she had a sister (the dog had a sister) and that we could view her today.

We drove to Mollies house.
When i saw mollie she was even more gorgeous than poppy (the one we just viewed). Our hearts melted and we got Mollie that day.

Mollie was amazing in the car journey she didn't bark or whine just went to sleep or looked at us with her big brown eyes.

Mollie settled in at home
At home she was perfect.
