Molly and I moved in July back to my hometown of Memphis. Gordon wanted me out of his house, even though the deal was that I would stay there during the summer and work at his wife's silk screening shop for room and board. He told me to get out without even asking his wife, thus, firing me from my job because I wasn't going to stick around with no compensation. (His wife and her business partner were not too thrilled with this as I was the only one that knew how to work the computer.) I had a friend come pick me up and we took the long 11 hour drive to Memphis. Of course, Molly did try to eat him when she first saw him, but I put her in the car while we packed it and once she realized we were going on a ride, she calmed down.
Molly had her first hotel stay during this. We went as far as Oklahoma City and stayed in a nice hotel. I was a little worried about how she would behave, but we got in around two in the morning, so we met no one in the halls. She sniffed around and went to sleep once we got settled in our room. She did enjoy looking out the window. She got a little loud once morning hit, barking at people through the window and barking at the maid when she knocked.
Molly did settle in fine with my family in Memphis. The only one that did not like her was MacTavish, my old family dog. Otherwise, Molly got along great with everyone and loved sitting in my mom's lap and begging my mom and grandmother for food.
We weren't there too long before we got the opportunity to move back to Kansas. S was done with his PTSD treatment and had a job. He came and got us in September. Molly was good on the ride to our new home, sleeping most of the way, letting us know when she needed to potty. Now we live in a duplex and the lady next door has three dogs, but she doesn't live in the apartment...Molly barks when she hears the woman go in and out. Of course, I had Molly outside training today when the woman let her dogs out and her dogs started barking. Molly went to the fence to greet them and they weren't going for it. The woman made her's go in and then thought she'd talk to me, but Molly was having none of it. She kept barking her head off until the woman went in. Now I am trying to figure out how to go about training all these new things to Molly. I am in a bigger city, and there is proper training available. I just need to find a job so I can have money to pay for it.
