Notes About The Poem

               

Molly a Dachshunds the Center of Attention

Small little Molly
                          Waddles around in the yard
                                  Center attention
                     Birth of two children changed things
                         We forgot,  Molly!!! Outside!!!

Sara Kendrick January 27, 2015 at 10:45 AM Having babies makes it very hard to have an animal in the house but most children will survive being around pets even though we think that it is unsanitary for the child..I don't know if the pet will survive the child though..Great winning work..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara Eve Roper January 27, 2015 at 1:26 PM Thank you, Sara, the little Molly is 8 years old and a gentle soul and very good with her new littles buddies. Blessings dear friend eve

Reason A. Poteet January 27, 2015 at 6:31 AM Insightful piece, our son babied two dachshunds for years, until a real baby came along last year. Now they keep them outside becausethey are so jealous of the newcomer who gets all the attention. One male bit their baby in the face when he reached for his food dish. Congrats on the win, Eve. Reason A. Poteet January 27, 2015 at 11:41 AM Eve, I took him to the doctor who gave him antibiotics and a cream to cut down on the scarring...not deep enough for stitches but teeth marks in two places under his eye and on the bridge of his nose. He survived and when I watch him, the dogs are outside or in the bathroom locked up. The female just growls at the baby but the male is very aggressive. I think they had them for 7-8 years w/o small children. Eve Roper January 27, 2015 at 8:30 AM Oh, Reason, I am so sorry; I hope the baby is ok. I saw a large dog get a hold of a little girls face and the scares never went away. Blessings eve

Paul Callus January 7, 2015 at 12:07 PM Centre of attention soon changes from one to the other! Unfortunately this often happens, but usually there are valid reasons behind such behavior! A very charming Tanka! // paul Eve Roper January 7, 2015 at 12:11 PM Yes you are right, they hunger for lots of love. Thank you, Paul, for your wonderful compliment.

Richard Lamoureux January 5, 2015 at 4:04 PM Poor Molly! This made me smile! Eve Roper January 5, 2015 at 4:24 PM Thank you for your visit, Richard, she is such a doll, all you see is her body woddle around in the yard, no legs and that tail just swinging back and forth.

Demetrios Trifiatis January 5, 2015 at 4:37 AM Charming and full of tenderness, dear Eve! Good luck! Eve Roper January 5, 2015 at 8:32 AM Thank you, Demetrios, she is a beautiful little 9 year old Dachshund that looks like an oversize hot dog but loves to come into my house when she is forgotten outside.

David Meade January 4, 2015 at 10:13 PM I bet Molly was not to happy!! Hope you are off to a great new year. All the best dear friend. Eve Roper January 4, 2015 at 10:45 PM I do know that Molly sometimes loves it when she gets her freedom, but when she has been out to long she does complain.

Jan Allison January 4, 2015 at 5:14 PM oh yes how our priorities change - great write Eve - good luck :-) Hugs jan xx Eve Roper January 4, 2015 at 6:26 PM We moved into this neighborhood 7 years ago, he is a police officer and his wife is a nurse. They weren't able to have children, then 5 years later the babies arrived. Now I have to knock on their door because they have forgotten Molly . But don’t get me wrong, but because she is an inside dog she loves the freedom of being outside Blessings to you my dear friend of happiness, health, wisdom, and wealth
