Introducing Molly!

Posted on August 26, 2023 by Linda

She’s home! Our tiny bundle with a long name. Her full Canadian Kennel Club name is Tweedsmuir Molly Jean Hoye.

Tweedsmuir, because that’s the name of our breeder (who we love!). Molly, because that’s her given name and what we’ll call her. Jean, because, paired with Molly, gives her the initials of MJ which mirrors Moose Jaw (Corny, perhaps. No apologies. ๐Ÿ™‚ )

More often that not, right now I call her Maya-Murphy-Molly, going through the list of names until I land on hers. It reminds me of the way I used to mix up my granddaughter, Makiya’s, name with our Yorkie, Maya’s. The struggle is real, friends!

She’s a purebred Yorkshire Terrier, and her colouring is gold and blueโ€”a departure from our other dogs who were all black and tan. Her puppy coat is soft, silky, and shiny.

Little Miss Molly did really well last night, her first one away from her mama and littermates, sleeping seven hours straight. We’re finding our way, establishing routines, and getting to know one another. The house is a mess, life is topsy-turvey at the moment, and I’m absolutely smitten! I’m also spending a lot of time sitting on the floor. ๐Ÿ™‚

    A message for Maya-Murphy-Molly: Little girl, you’ve landed in just the right place to find love and caring people to take care of you.

    Now, for Linda, I love what you’ve done to your site. Did they upgrade the theme to get the boxed outlines or did your creative self come up with a way to do that? I’m always curious about designing changes.

    Happy weekend, happy parenting!

      I switched themes, Sherrey. This one is called Retro Perfection. I like the old school blog look. Thanks for noticing! ? P.S. Molly says โ€œhi!โ€

Hi, Iโ€™m Linda Hoye. Welcome! I live in Saskatchewan, Canada with my husband and our Yorkie, Molly. Retired from my corporate career, I appreciate having time and opportunity to fill my days with things that nourish my soul and spirit like writing. watercolour painting, reading, gardening, and blogging about the simple joys of every day. Iโ€™ve been blogging since 2008, starting fresh here in 2022 when we moved home to Saskatchewan. May this space be a sanctuary in a very noisy world. ๐Ÿ˜Š
