Hi Friends

Hello Friends,

I just wanted to check in - I haven't written a "blog" in a while. I hope every fur had a good holiday season and that you are all having a good 2009 so far.

I had a great Christmas. Mom & Dad went out of town to stay in a lil victorian cottage in a cute town called Eureka Springs, AR. I got to go with them because I love to travel and we had so much fun. The rest of the Pomeraniacs stayed home and our auntie and uncle stayed at the house ad took care of them.

Mom tooks some pics of us on our trip. It was very cold but we had a good time, exploring the little town and relaxing in front of the fireplace.

I am doing well but still a lil chubby. Mom knows she is gonna be in big trouble when I go back to the vet for my annuals, which will be in February. I haven't lost any weight and she is worried that I may have gained some more. She should probably walk me more.

OVerall, I am looking forward to a great new year. I hope you are all healthy & happy!

Love,
Copper

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Hello friends - Copper here to say hello and wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! It is around the corner & I have been thinking that I have a lot to be thankful for ...

My Mom & Dad who takes such good care of me and spoil me rotten

Good friends on Dogster who make me feel so special & happy

A nice home to destroy when I feel like gettin' rowdy (Mom, that was Tux who ripped up that magazine - NOT ME)

Greenies (they never get old, do they?)

Walks at Burns Park - my new favorite hangout!

Yes, I am a lucky pup!

I hope all of my friends are doing well - I love you all and wish you a great holiday!

Doggie Diet Plan

Last weekend, I had a vet appointment for my checkup and vaccinations. Guess what? I am fat! Mom & Dad didn't even know! They thought I was filling out nicely and lookin' pretty handsome. I gained 2 pounds which is a TON for a small dog!

So, the great news is that I am on nutrisystem for dogs. Not cool. I used to get to eat as much as I want, whenever I want. Now I am fed twice a day, rationed like there is a shortage of Natural Balance in my house. I am not happy! Treats have to be cut back too. And I might as well forget about Saturday night movie and popcorn time! That is a thing of the past. My fave! Sweet buttery micro popcorn! I could just cry.

But I have to do it. I have bad knees & eventually I will have to get that darn knee surgery all the poms keep talking about. The less weight I am lugging around, the better. Thanks, Dr. House!

On the bright side, I had a great Valentine's day. We got so many cute cards from our friends! We love you guys so much!

Smooch smooch,
The soon-to-be-svelte Copper
