After I got up this morning, Mum sat me on her knee on the floor and formally introduced me to Molly. Mum thought Molly might like to sniff me and check me out so that she wouldn’t bark at me again but then she licked my toes and held her wet nose up close to my face and sniffed me all over. I think she might have licked me too but I had my eyes shut by then and Mum was trying to shoo Molly away. Molly’s whiskers tickled my face and she made me chuckle which made Mum laugh too. Mum finds it especially funny when I laugh by myself (instead of her making me laugh.)
Mum fed me avocado and pumpkin for breakfast… hmmmm!? Anyway, I ate it despite being distracted by Molly circling underneath the high chair waiting for any stray food to fall! I then played for a bit before I went to bed for my morning nap. While I was getting to sleep Mum had a shower and then made herself a coffee. Just as she was heading to the study to check her emails she caught sight of Molly on the back lawn chewing something. Mum thought she had better check what Molly was up to and found that she was chewing her way through a cockroach bait! Molly is never good at sharing her toys and so Mum had a hard time trying to get the remains of the chewed bait off her! Eventually Mum threw a tennis ball and luckily Molly decided to drop the bait and go after the ball instead.
After phone calls to the Poisons Hotline, Molly’s Vet and Molly’s mother, Mum came to wake me up and after being at our house for less than 12 hours Molly was on her way to the Vet! Molly barked at a dog being walked along our street and this was very loud in my ear so I cried. Poor Mum was doing her best to drive with a whinging and barking dog and a crying baby. Molly whinged and whined all the way in the car which made Mum nervous, she didn’t want Molly dying on her shift! (It turns out that Molly always does this in the car!) Luckily Molly went in the back of the station wagon behind the cargo barrier else she would have jumped all over me. We eventually got to the vet where Molly got a warm welcome because she is such a naughty dog and has been there many times before (including the time she had her pancreas removed and was on life support for a week after she ate too many sausages!)
The vet made Molly throw up and they kept her there all afternoon for observation and Dad picked her up later. Luckily Molly was OK, and when we got home Mum checked the house over for any other cockroach baits! After all the excitement this morning, Mum was quite glad that my swimming class this afternoon was cancelled because Mally was sick.
