Oh Cappy

Yup- Molly and Cappy are in there together!

I have mentioned before that my parent's dog Cappy gets along well with Molly Rabbit.  Well, he took it to a whole new level while they were all visiting for Hannah's birthday.  His great discovery: Molly's cage and food! Who knew a Yorkie would like vegetables?

Vacation buddies

Molly has a vacation buddy. His name is Cappy: he is old, almost blind, a Yorkie and belongs to my parents. Molly has spent a few of our vacations at my parent's house. A few weekends ago, Cappy spent about a week at our house.

Molly and Cappy normally just ignore each other. There are times when Cappy gets excited and chases and barks, but not often. There was a time when Molly was up on top of her cage and I thought she was going to pounce on Cappy! They both seem to want my attention at the same time.

Just like Molly, Cappy is very spoiled. He does not like to be left anywhere, so anytime the door opens, he heads right outside. I did take him on a trip to buy some stamps at the post office. He was at my feet or looking out of the window (on my side!) the whole time. I have learned my lesson. Another trait of Cappy's that could not be indulged at my house was sleeping on the bed. Aaron does not believe that dogs should sleep in the bedroom, certainly not the bed. So, Cappy was confined to the kitchen and dining room with his own little bed and blanket. The first night, he barked and whined and would not stop. The second night I put a night light in the same room with him, but the whining continued. The third night, I put the night light right next to him and stayed with him for a little bit. I didn't hear him later, but it could be I was just too tired.

He got a reprieve for two nights: he spent the night at my brother's house and did get to sleep on their bed. Yes, they are much kinder than we are. Plus, my niece loves Cappy (she even asked if he could spend the night).

Well, the time has come for my parent's annual ski trip and Cappy is returning. Hopefully things will go better this time. Of course, as soon as they return, Molly will be going to their house while we visit the great state of Texas for a quick vacation ourselves. Oh the joy of having pets!
