Shoes are Easier to Find Homes For
Posted on January 10, 2009 by Ching under Babies.
Shoes are easier to find homes for… Cute little Yorkipoos? Not so much. We’ve been trying to find a home for Molly for the last year now. We thought we found a home for her several months ago with one of the groomers at PetSmart but, when we came over to see if her other two (much bigger) dogs would get along okay with Molly, one of the dogs bit her on the head. It wasn’t a playful bite either. It was one of those scary ones.
Actually, all seemed okay at first. The dogs were playing in the backyard and for the most part leaving Molly alone. One of the dogs was next to me and when Molly came to me, she just snapped. It was very, very weird. Like the dog had split personality or something. Molly whimpered and I found a reddish-pink scratch when I checked her head. The owner said that the other dog was just being over-protective of me. When Molly approached me, the other dog felt the need to defend. The other dog knew that she had done wrong because immediately after, she squeezed herself between my calves and tried to hide there. As if to say, “I’m sorry I tried to eat your little dog.”
Brian and I decided, despite how sweet the owner was and how well-meaning, this would not be the home for Molly unless we wanted her to be a chew toy for the other two dogs, which were easily six times her size. Months later, Molly is still with us and we are still searching for a new home for her. She is so tiny and sweet. We just don’t want her to get fed to some killer dogs. I have heard of that happening and it just really scares me.
Jenni came by yesterday to pick up these almost new, only worn once (if that) Steven by Steve Madden 4″ peep-toe pumps. I bought them and worn them out once, but they hurt my feet so I never wore them again. The bottoms are barely scuffed. I also gave her a 30-gallon trash bag full of 32A bras that I can no longer wear. These were from back in our credit card hey day, when I could spend $50 on a bra and not think anything of it. If only I would have saved that money, we could have paid for re-plumbing the house in cash. If only…
But I digress… Though the pumps are very cute, they’re not as cute as Molly; so it’s very sad that their re-homing was so much more easier to achieve. I guess you don’t have to feed and groom the shoes.
Anyway, maybe Jenni felt so grateful for the almost new shoes that match her clutch and will work fabulously with an outfit she plans to wear on a trip to Memphis that she told us she would help us find a good home for Molly. I hope that she is really serious and I hope she succeeds.
Is anyone out there looking for a cute, adorable, sweet dog? Please message us asap!

Is Molly house-trained? Like if we left her in the house for the day, she’d be ok? She’s cute. I didn’t know you were giving her up. Why?
