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!"

Forums Motto:
Have you ever accidentally sent a Dogster gift to yourself? I do it from time to time, but now I'm really embarrassed! I sent a Valentine to myself when I was trying to send it to a nice little grrrl mutt I met in my Mutts group. So I have this Valentine on my page for all to see that says "To a Sweetie" from Cosmo ... to Cosmo!
It was quite a sight this morning. Mom in her nightgown with a trench coat and garden clogs, trying to pick up some of my poo now that the snow's melting. She was sliding backward down the hill with baggies in hand! BOL! I was sliding too! The snow that remains is pure ice and the grass was covered with little ice crystals. So Mom and I gave up and went back inside.
I did get a nice walk to Applewood Park later and a nice off-leash run there. The streets and the park are totally dry. We just have the ice obstacles in our yard! BOL!
Sometimes peeps just don't understand. Since the streets are still wet and slick in places, Mom decided that I should have a nice long game of fetch in the snow to get my exercise. I really tried to stay in the groove and catch and fetch, but suddenly it occurred to me that snow is delicious. So I stopped playing to eat it. One should live in the moment and follow one's bliss! And that snow was blissful!
Mom just got disgusted and left me and the ball and the snow and went inside. What a grouch!
Fortunately, we'll both forget about this tomorrow and then we'll have some fun! Life is good in Cosmorado!
