Arrival Story:
Cosmo had been in the shelter for a month. (Potential adopters thought he was too big). Some volunteers asked me to just go take a look at him. We had just lost Sparkle-dog and weren't ready to adopt, but Cosmo won my heart and of course I wanted him. When I want back to the shelter to adopt him, he had been moved to isolation and had extremely bad kennel cough. I had to have him hospitalized three times, but he eventually got over the upper respiratory problems and hasn't been sick since. I'll never forget when I looked in on him in the shelter isolation ward and his tail just started wagging.....it hasn't stopped since then!

Bio:
Cosmo has appeared in a number of local and national publications and has a ballad written in his honor...."The Ballad of Cosmo James!" BIBLIOGRAPHY: "Colorado All Breed Rescue Newsletter" Oct. 2006, featured withhis late sister Sparkle in article written by mom. "I Was Just Not Ready to Adopt."

So I look like an Aussie?

Hooray...the snow is all melted and so Mom took me for a nice long walk to Applewood Park, around the park and back the long way. I got to run off leash in the park! On our way there, we practiced walking on a regular collar and "loose lead." Mom said I did very well..and gave me quite a few training treats in the process!

On our way home, we noticed that a man was staring at me. He asked Mom if I was an Aussie! As always she said, "He is a shelter dog and we think he's Border Collie and pointer." The man said I had Aussie traits. BOL! One of the vets in our practice thought I was part deerhound! Being such a mutt is great. It keeps the peeps guessing.

I know for a fact that I am a Cosmo dog. Unique and exceptional! BOL!

Life is good in Cosmorado!!

Mom and I walked to Applewood Park this morning. We saw a man walking briskly along the path smoking. Mom said to me, "I guess he's out for fresh air." Then we looked up at the highway, since Applewood Park is right on Interstate 70 and Mom said, "I guess we're not getting fresh air either."
BOL!

I don't care. I had a great run in the park!


I'm Blessed...in so many ways!

Last Sunday, Mom and Dad took me to the big Episcopal Cathedral in Denver for the "Blessing of the Animals." I was surprised when they took me up the big marble steps into the beautiful cathedral. We sat in a pew together! There were dogs everywhere and a few cats. Some dogs preferred to stand in the big aisle to sniff each other, but I liked sitting in the pews with the peeps. Then a big organ played music and a procession came down the aisle, led by a Samoyed and a Norwegian Elkhound! Some of the people in the choir had their dogs with them. The people read a prayer giving thanks for all the animals...even squirrels! Mom was glad that there was a thank you for the parakeets, but I don't agree. BOL! The people sang some songs and the "barky" dogs barked along. I am too well-behaved for that. Then the priests came down the aisle with water bowls and evergreen boughs and they sprinkled water on us. Finally, we went outside and got lots of treats!!! And we all sniffed each other. At the blessing service there were no fights and we all remembered not to lift our legs or squat inside the cathedral.

I feel like I am blessed every day. I have my home, my pawrents, my big yard, my agility classes, my trips to the cabin, our walks to the park and even fun at daycare and at Pet Peeves when the pawrents travel.

Mom and Dad went to Chicago for Grandma's 88th birthday over the weekend. I stayed at Pet Peeves and had a discussion with them about confidentiality. After my experience last time when they told Mom all about my grrrrlfriend, I didn't want anymore "leaks." So this morning when Mom asked how I did, they said "Cosmo is a terrific dog, a very good boy. And he had a great stay." No details about my "friendships" with the grrrrls! That's the way I like it.

Life is good in Cosmorado!!
