Molly's Room

I was just thinking that we haven’t really focused on Molly just lately…its all been about the stupid cat (the stupid cat who kept us BOTH awake for several hours last night for no apparent reason…she just wanted company I think!)

I also thought that Molly might become more ‘real’ to those who read this if we pointed out how big of a part she plays in every one of our days.

Let’s start in Molly’s Room (also known in other families as the Laundry Room) 
This room also leads to our bathroom and to the backyard, so on average I travel through it 20 or more times each day. I don’t remember the time when I wasn’t tripping over toys/ blankets/ dalmation…




Yes, I realize we have carpet in our laundry…although we pull it up in summer, in winter we put it back down to help keep our little puppy warm! Directly under the carpet is concrete and although this is lovely and cool in summer, it makes the room absolutely FREEZING in winter!

Next, we insert an ugly nasty mat that my Nanny used to own. We are big on recycling in our household. The mat is too ugly to give to someone else, but I don’t want to throw it in the bin either, so thus it makes its way to Molly’s Room to form the second layer of defense against the cold!

In this photo we have a HUGE ugly cushion (also used to belong to Nanny) that I used to lay on to watch TV when I was little. As we have absolutely no use for it now…and it was just cluttering up the spare room (and I have a thing with recycling) this is now Molly’s bed.

Here we have an old comforter that Mum used to have on the bed in the cottage (before we moved in) and it forms a ‘bottom sheet’ for Molly. It gives extra padding to her mattress and is slightly warmer material too.

This is her BEAUTIFUL baby pink wool blanket…ok, even I realize that was a really stupid idea (cant stand up to constant washing in the washing machine…note to self: next time buy a more practical blankie for her!) This goes over the top of her once she has settled for the night.

This is her sleeping bag…it goes over the top of her pink blankie and helps shield her from any errant breezes through the night 

Now: Insert Puppy!!

OOPS! Insert Puppy UNDER her blankets! (and add Horns)

Next step: Play with the Puppy!

And now, Molly with her co-conspirators for late night disturbances…all of her indoor toys: Horns, Ball, Chewy Toy and Shark.

This is the one that we love! :)
