We took care of Nova today while our neighbor Travis worked. It was very hot and he had to work an 11-hour day. Since Nova stays in the garage in a kennel while Travis works, we decided to invite Nova to spend a day with Molly. Our neighbor is not usually gone that long and is very good to his dog, but due to these unusual circumstances, we decided to have a "play date" for Molly and Nova today. They had soooo much fun; and after 11 hours together, they were both just exhausted!
We told our neighbor to put his dog in our backyard when he left for work. We made sure there was plenty of water for her and she knows our yard, because Nova and Molly play together almost every night. Let us just say that Molly knew the "minute" Nova was in our yard as she was "crying at the bedroom window" to go outside @ 6:30 this morning. A minute later, we heard Travis' truck start up! 
We immediately put Molly outside with Nova, and they were together until 5:30 tonight. They played in the yard, they came inside the house and played, they ate, they napped, and they totally loved their day together. We had two very happy, but tired dogs by 5:30!
I have so many cute pictures of my two babies! Molly just loves Nova, but is a little jealous when Nova gets hugs and kisses from HER mom and dad. She is totally willing to share her food, her toys, her bones, and her yard with Nova, but is still not so sure about sharing her "favorite people" - Mom and Dad. We make sure to make two plates of food, throw two balls, have two treats, and tell both dogs they are "good girls". We can tell that Molly just loves Nova as when we tell her to give "Nova kisses", she does. They get along so well, it is really scary. Karen, we would love for you to see Molly and Nova together - it is a truly unique canine relationship....
Also, Bev called right after Nova and Travis left and asked if they could come over for a visit. Molly was dead-tired; sleeping on the couch, but we never turn away friends... The minute we mentioned Woofer to Molly, she was ready to go again. We had another nice visit with Bev and Woofer and will include pictures of that as well. I assume Molly will sleep very well tonight, and she was super hungry at supper! Love, Tom, Marci, & Molly
This is such a cute story! I like finding people who appreciate the importance of doggie friends. :) There are 3 shy strays in my neighborhood that I feed - but they have each other and are happy as clams as long as they have each other, food and water!
