Kids!

I am so happy my kids have been here. My tail just wont stop going. I love when JJ gets on the floor to play with me. Only I think I may be being replaced. Tinie has seen me in action getting lovins. So, now she gets on the floor looks at JJ with those darn sad brown basset eyes and JJ lays down with her. Not only lays down, but gives those long lasting belly rubs. You know the ones you dream about? I dont get those? If we are on the floor together then he just wants to wrestle. Doesnt he know I am "Princess" Chloe and should be getting belly rubs instead of rolling on the floor like a pig in mud? Come on JJ! Give me some belly rubs too!

My Name Is MUD!

Well, as you can see from the title I am in a little bit of doggie trouble. My parents have been working on this really hard puzzle for about a month now. It is a puzzle of a dolphin. It isnt your average puzzle. It is made up of a millions little pictures to create the dolphin. Mom had been working on it so hard. Hour and hours have been spent working on it. They had it on a card table which is in mouth distance for me when I am on my hind legs. The other night I was lucky enough to have a "Night On The Town" as tehy call it. (Meaning I have been a good girl and didnt have to sleep in my kennel. Well, all four of us dogs were in bed with dad so mom slept in the guest room. When dad got up he saw I was chewing on something. HE loked closer and saw it was the outside edge to the puzzle. (Beyond recognition) He put me in my kennel and nothing was said. Well, mom was getting ready to work on it and she saw. I thought she was going to cry with the mangled pieces in her hand. She called dad right away and was given the news as to who had done it. She picke dup the pices put them in teh box and took them to the trash. Of course I was trying to be cute and supportive. But, needless to say thru mad red eyes the halo was not noticed. Mom calmly explained to me that she has never been so disappointed in a dog as she was me. That is really tough to hear when there are 4 of us. She put me in my kennel and told me that I was on the top of her list. I tried cuddling with her last night but nothing worked. I am back in her good graces this morning though. Yet another dog has retaken the position on that list. I dont want ot give it away but you might try reading some of the other diaried.

The day has come!!!!!

Finally, the day has come. My daddy finally got sick of seeing me harry. Or maybe it was seeing my hair all over the house. One cant be sure. All, I know is he said he was sick of it. He made mom call the puppy spa and got me in the next day. It was great in more ways than one let me tell you. Not only do y ou get pampered with the puppy rub down and shampoo. But, I got a entire day away from the mongrals. That was beautiful in its self. Not that I dont love them but a girl needs a day of sanity. Well, I got my and I couldnt be happier. They had me totally shaved off. No cocker cut this time. Thank goodness. I really hate when mom and dad try to brush me. I will let you in on a secret though. I am great for the groomers. Maybe mom and dad should take some pampering lessons and I would be good for them. But, then again if that was the case I would never get to leave. While I was there I even got my nails clipped. I feel wonderful. When I got home Manwich didnt recognize me. He came right up sniffing every part of me. Of course I had to put him in his place and remind him who I was. I think Tinie was jealous too. Not eveyone can look as good as I do. Chewey was Chewey. He looked at me and went after Manwich. Just like a boyfriend not to notice the new hairdo.

I was just so excited I couldnt wait to tell all of you I am back to Beautiful.

thank you

Hi Everyone. Sorry there are no new pictures of me. But, I am still waiting for that hair cut. I thought maybe Santa Paws was going to bring me a gift card for it. But, as you can tell it didnt happen. It's just not right. There was a comment made in Tinie's last diary that I would like to discuss. She is right there is a difference between us Cockers and them. The difference is that we are trainable and like to listen every so often as compared to Tinie and Manwich who dont listen at all. In my mind the Cocker is far superior to them. That is all I have to say about that. I wanted to say thank you to every one for all the nice dog gifts. I dont think we have ever had such a good Christmas. Thank you to our family for making it happen.

Humiliation At Its Worst.

Well, the holidays are amond us. Of course I didnt get a hair cut. I still look horrible and I am so embarassed. Grandma and Grandpa have been here everyday to see us. Well, I cant possibly be seen like this so I just hide. I go and get lovins for awhile. Then I remember what I look like and just go lay down. How could anyone think I am cute like this? I am so mad at my parents right now. I told them and told them I cant be seen like this. To make it worse today my kids are coming. I know they will laugh at me. I just dont know what I am going to do.

Furry Murry.

Hi Everyone. I probably would have had an entry sooner. But, I can't see to do anything right now. I don't know who I have to know to get a hair cut. But, this is getting rediculous. I am a female dog and I have a beard. That isn't right. I keep complaining to mom and dad but it doesn't do any good. They tell me if you could hold still we would give you a hair cut ourselves. But, you can't hold still. Then they tell me if I could hold a job there would be enough money to go to the dog spa and get pampered. Get a job? Are they kidding? The only job I should have (and this is questionable) is keeping that Bulldog in line. Even that I shouldn't have to do. He seriously needs some obediance training. I like to bark ferociously at him though. He gets scared and squeals like a pig. How masculine huh? Sometimes when he is playing ball with mom or dad he will run by me then I chase him and bark and try to make him squeal. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it works so well that we both end up in the kennel. No matter what it is always worth it. Manwich won't know what hit him once I gt trimmed down to my prissy self. Then he will have to hide know a prim and proper dog like me puts him in his place. I cant wait to see that. Well, I am going to go and give more puppy dog eyes, not that they can see them. But, eventually it will work and I can get my hair cut. How humiliating is it to be so beautiful and be called Furry Murry?

Thank Goodness for Basset Hounds.

It's Chloe and I am back to share a story. I just want everyone to know how happy I am to have Tinie as part of my family. I know, I know. A change of heart. At first she was very annoying but things couldn't be better at this point. It seems that it is Chewey's time to be Frisky. I used to always be his playmate (if you know what I mean) whether I wanted to be or not. Well, now that we got Tinie I am no longer the playmate. I am a very happy female Cocker that has a ton of free time. I am lovin it. I can lay in the middle of the living room and relax and watch Chewey chase Tinie all around. Then of course Manwich gets jealous and chases Chewey around. They all chase eachother around. It is like I am not even in the room. It is great. All though I kind of feel sorry for Tinie because I know what it feels like to not want it and Chewey not to take no for an answer. Mom and dad are really good at watching Chewey. If he gets to be too much. Well, then they give Tinie a rest and put her in the kennel. They used to do that for me too. But, no need this time. Woohoo. Well, I am gonna go see if I can find a comfy spot to nap.
Sincerely
Chloe

What It is like to be me.

I am Chloe. I am a 6 yr old Cocker Spaniel. Althought my mom thinks I am part Poodle bcuz of all my curly hair. I was the 2nd dog in this family. I used to be very hyper and exciteable but old age is catching up. I have grey growing in on my ears. Which I dont like at all. It used to be just Chewey and I. We used to play but we just lounge more so now. I like to bark at every little noise. I actually like to bark and voice my opinion quite a bit. I also like going to the puppy spa to get my hair and nails done. Mom says I smell so good and look so pretty. She calls me Princess Chloe. Just with in the last 6 months mom and dad have added 2 more dogs. I like the Tinie's. She is a basset hound and very fun to wrestle with. She is a lot heavier than me now so I need to becareful she doesnt smoosh me. If she gets to rough I just bark. But, this other dog Manwich. I dont play with him much. He bites too much and gets my temper going good. So, I just try to stay away or we both get time out till we calm down. I really hope this is the last pup for awhile. I dont think my nerves can handle it. It was nice when it was Chewey and I. Well, now that you have gotten to know me a little. I am done. I will add to it when something exciting happens.
