my cockapoodle is wackadoodle
I know I've already mentioned my mentally unstable Miss Molly a few times. I just need to talk about her again because she is really starting to worry me.
Her fears and nervousness have gotten much worse. She seems like she is always a major wreck. There is NO way she will go outside alone anymore. If Cosmo or one of us doesn't first step outside, she just shakes and creeps the other way. I am worried that soon she will have accidents in the house, or end up in doggy mental institute. Her vet appointment isn't until next month, but when I brought Cosmo in for his checkup, I did mention to the doc. how nervous Molly is. I told him the groomer suggested tranquilizers. He gave me some and told me it's better for her to have one than to be feeling so nervous at the groomer. I think she may need one every day. I had a weird daydream today, that he may suggest group therapy. Many dogs with many conditions sitting around a table ( kind of like that picture of the dogs playing poker) You've got your obsessive compulsive Mr. Jack Russell who just can't stop Jumping while licking himself. There is of course Mr. Pit Bull, the sociopath who sees no wrong in an occasional nip of a leg (or throat.) Mrs. Rot Weiler has a serious anger problem which causes her to chew off your ear/nose or couch. Miss Molly Wackadoodle sits far away from her( not to upset her own psycho anxiety problem.) Miss Frenchy Poodle is a compulsive shopper/scratcher/nail biter. And no group is complete without the depressed! So, looking quite sleepy sits ( and stays)-Mr. B. Hound. To try and Heal the pack is their Psychiatrist, an intelligent looking bitch, Ms. Chow Chow. She is trying some word association. (She Speaks)- "gentle" (they bark) -"ROUGH!" (she speaks)-"smooth" ( they bark) "ROUGH!" (she speaks)-"calm" (they bark) "ROUGH!"
okay I think it may be time for ME to start some medication and therapy

Man I'm glad I'm not the only goof on the planet....gee golly miss molly....me thinks you need a boyfriend....maybe something scared her....those attic squirrels maybe???? Funny post as always Lucy! Hope Miss Molly gets over her anxiety...maybe she is taking on the family’s worries??? Just kidding of course! How old is she? My two females were always the nervous Nellie’s....they barked if I put up a birthday card...always a false alarm with the females. The males I would always heed their bark because they were accurate about something strange being there. Hope you find resolve. Also hope the nervousness is not masking a medical issue.

What a great post, Lucy!! I think I sat with some of those dogs several weeks ago....
Oh, I'm glad I'm not the only one with a pet who has issues. :)
I love it! A brilliant post! Can I bring my Jack Russell who hates the feel of grass beneath her paws??
