More Molly!

We thought Molly was getting really big, but as it turns out, she has only gained two pounds since we got her a month ago! I think it’s all fur.

She’s really catching on to the crate training, except for a few devious accidents here and there, including on our comforter at 2 am (we weren’t in bed yet). She understands now that if she rings the bell on the doorknob and sits down, the door opens … but she fakes us out a lot just to go out and sniff around.

Poor Molly has pneumonia! She’s OK, but she hacks and sneezes a lot. Rob likes her better when she’s sick (and therefore calm and sweet), but we are both relieved when she takes one of her flying leaps to get on the couch. I was almost in tears at the vet’s office when he told me she was sick. Apparently our original vet misdiagnosed her. We are happy now that we are at Gold Coast Animal Hospital, though. And it helps that all the vets (and vet technicians) there are hot. All of them. Good thing, too, because they took all my money.

Enjoy the pictures!

Molly was very sad that she could not go in to the school to play with the kids.

Pleeeeeeeaaase??

Molly likes to sleep on her back. I find her like this in her crate all the time:

    Yeah Goldcoast Animal Hospital totally robs you blind money-wise, but they are soooo good at what they do. Like will investigate everything! I will be there Saturday…you should stop by! Glad to hear that Molls is doing better. She is so cute I can’t even stand it!!! :)

    I see you didn’t post my reply. Which I think sucks. It’s sad to think this L lady has showed generosity toward you, has guided you in your career, and this is how you repay her – by slamming her personal beliefs in a blog. It’s dirty.

    OK, I’ll try my best to control the gag reflex, considering the name of your blog. You DO disturb my Universe. But I was warned.

    If my real estate agent happened to be Jewish, I wouldn’t be half-shocked to find out the accountant she recommended was a member of the twelve tribes himself. And I would NOT therefore assume that all my money is going to the sinister minions of Zion.

    If my real estate agent was a Catholic, chances are her accountant might be also a disciple of Peter’s Church. And no, it would NOT necessarily mean that they’d brainwash me and send me off to some basement in Vatican City.

    So curb your raging bigotry.

    And yes, Oh-My-God, hold on for your total freakout now, I’m a Scientologist too. Feel free to scream in horror.

    I have my own business. And in my professional life, I do not proselytize. Just as your “L” lady was clearly polite enough not to proselytize to you either. I don’t know if you’ve acknowledged this to yourself.

    Incidentally, “The Way To Happiness” is just a moral code, a good values booklet based on common sense. Hubbard actually wrote this as an independent book, and the text is non-sectarian and does not include one single reference to Scientology or any other religion. The booklet has 21 chapters, and some of these are “Honor and respect your parents,” “Love and support children,” “Set a good example.” “Respect the religious beliefs of others,” and “Treat others the way you’d like to be treated.” (see http://www.twth.org)

    So chill the heck out.
    Nobody is going to rape your brain, kidnap your Soul, or feed you broccoli against your will.

    We Scientologists are actually nice people. And you don’t have to agree with our beliefs (although it would be nice if you bothered to find out what they really are, instead of the garbage you’ve seen on South Park etc.)

    In my case, I have my own business and have 14 employees. Only one of them is a Scientologist. The rest are three Catholics, one atheist, one Buddhist and I honestly don’t have a clue what the rest believe. We tend to talk about work, during working hours. (And we tend to talk about movies, relationships and sports when outside of work.)

    Last but not least: To balance your perception a bit: As a Scientologist, I’ve taken time off work to fly halfway around the world and volunteer in tsunami torn Indonesia. I spent three weeks delivering food to Katrina survivors in Mississippi and Lousiana. *That* is what Scientologists are like. That’s what we’re about.

    Alright. I doubt this will change your mind much. But I feel a bit better, anyhow. Thanks for listening.

    Sincerely,

    Whoa, Greg, chill the heck out. You sent me a reply in the middle of the night. Its 11 am on a Saturday. I approved it for ya! Everyone knows Scientologists are nut jobs. Flame away! Xenu be with you!

    I’m with Greg. Chill out – no one’s going to suck your brain. If you decide you want to use some of the tools Scientologists use, that’s your prerogative and you shouldn’t let baseless bias (otherwise known as prejudice) blind you to what might be available to you personally. But it’s your call and you can run screaming if you want…. No one will pursue you with a brain syringe.

    And Greg’s right about the crap posted on sites around the web. It’s crap, don’t believe it.

    It’s like saying Catholicism is a cult centered on ritual cannibalism. There’s a grain of truth to it, but does that make it 100% true, or just prejudice?

    “Everyone knows Scientologists are nut jobs.”

    Yup. And everyone knows you can’t trust a Jew, and everyone knows blacks can’t learn, right? And everyone knows women can’t drive, and everyone knows…

    Ok now, say it with me: Diversity. It’s “di-ver-si-ty”. Look it up.

    Ok Amanda, I hope you’ve learned a really good lesson. Greg here has taught us all that Scientologists can be both good hearted AND bat shit insane.

    Run! And never let them look you in the eye – lest they call you “low-tone”!!!!
