Goodbye Wilby

Today, our pup pal Wilby crossed over to the rainbow bridge. We are sad and crying but wanted to tell the ones who loved him dearly that we are very sorry for their loss.

Doggie stairs continued

Coco - Momma do you think my pup pals Sully and Socks have to use doggie stairs to get up on the bed?

Momma - No, they can probably do it in one big leap, if they are allowed.

Coco - See I told you, posting the video of me having to use doggie stairs is going to make me the laughing stock - would you please remove it?

Momma - Nope, now stop asking :-)

Coco's stairs

I begged and pleaded for momma not to post the video showing me using my stairs to get up on the daybed. How am I ever going to live this down? I wish I had long beautiful legs like my pup pals Ty and Dylan have. I bet each of them can just jump right up on the daybed without having to use stairs. Me, no such luck without the stairs I would not be able to get up there, but gosh, did momma have to show the whole world? I bet all of my long legged pals are laughing their heads off at me right now.

The week end begins

Yup, it's friday night in California. We have been having nice weather so maybe momma will let me play with my bunny sisters tomorrow - I hope so. Arleenton and Grayson are getting fat and lazy sitting around. Now that it's not too hot it's exercise time - yippee. I'm going to chase them all over the yard. Get ready bunnies, I'm going to come after you, but I won't hurt you. Wish my friend Ty could come play with me and my bunny sisters, he would have lots and lots of fun.

I did nothing today

Today, I did nothing. I slept with momma last night - YES!!!! When we got up, momma read the newspaper and I continued to nap. Then daddy fixed momma breakfast, and I continued to nap. I finally got up to go outside and do my morning business and go check up on my bunny sisters. When I came back in, I drank some water and then went to see daddy. After a few belly rubs, I got back up on the bed and watched out the window for a few minutes before I took another nap. Yup, that's about all I did today.

I'm learning how to get MY way

Usually, momma makes me sleep in my crate, but lately I've been barking and barking when she closes the door. The last two night, momma has gotten up so many times to let me out that she finally decided that I no longer have to sleep in there, now I get to sleep with my momma. Finally, I get to sleep on the bed with her and that means that Simba, my kitty brother does not - YES!!!! I'm doing the happy dance.

Got to go get comfortable on the bed and grin at Simba on the floor.

Goodbye WINsten

One of our pup pals has crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge. I guess he wanted to join his other family members who have crossed over recently. We will miss you sweetie as will your loving family and friends. You were greatly loved.

Coco and family.

Friday night drama

How do I put this - let's see, I do not do the come command, nope, not me. Momma and I went to obedience class when I was a puppy and I passed and did well on everything except for the COME command. Didn't care who was calling me, I just choose not to obey. Tonight, when daddy heard momma's car pull up to the house, he opened the front door and out I ran to go greet her. What daddy didn't know was that two of the neighbor hood dogs were in the street and when I saw them, I forgot all about momma and ran after the dogs. Don't know if I had bad breath or something but both dogs ran away from me and wouldn't play. They went running down the street and I was right after them, running as fast as my little legs would go. Momma stood there calling me but I ignored her. Daddy called me also and I ignored him too. Momma told daddy he had to go get me before I got hurt. You should have seen daddy running down the street after me, it was a real Kodak moment. As soon as daddy got in front of me, I changed my desire to play with the other dogs and high tailed it back to momma. She picked me up and kissed me and told me what a good doggie I was for coming back. Daddy was red in the face and not too happy with me, but that's okay, cuz he won't stay mad at me too long.

Pepto Bismo Palace again

Yes, momma did it again, she hauled me off to the Pepto Bismo Palace for another grooming. Ugly Pepto Bismo walls, soap, water and combs are not my idea of a fun time. At least this time I did not leave smelling like a strawberry. I was the only customer there so I got in and out super fast. Momma told them they have not been trimming my dew claws but it turns out it wasn't their fault, apparently I have not been there for two months. Gosh, sure seems like last week I was there, but no, my last visit was right after the fourth of July. I have to admit it's kind of nice not having hair pooking me in the eyes, but don't tell my momma I said that - BOL.

Nap time, chat later.

A day at the vet

It started off as a nice surprise "Want to go Bye-Bye" my momma asked, and of course I went happily running to the front door as fast as my little legs would carry me. I love to go Bye-Bye. Momma picked me up and carried me out to the car, and placed me in my car seat. I was soooo happy. I curled up and sat there like a good little doggie, not making a sound. Momma got in and we drove for a long time. When the car finally stopped, and I saw where we were, I was no longer happy - we were at the dreaded vets. I hate that place. No, don't want to be here at all. Momma had to carry me in cuz I was not going to go in there, I'm not stupid you know.

It was early morning, 8:00AM on a Saturday and they checked me in and told momma they would call when I was ready to go home. Momma told me that I was here for a wellness visit to make sure I am healthy and have no problems. I tried to tell her I was fine, but she wouldn't listen to me.

I cried, and cried "don't leave me here", but it did no good. Momma handed me over and walked out.

Let me tell you, they poked me, got really up close and personnel, trimmed my nails, cleaned the hair out of my ears and did some other stuff that I just want to forget about. I was there for hours. Momma finally came and picked me up in late afternoon.

I didn't speak to her all during the car ride home. When I got home, I discovered all my cookies had been thrown away, again. Momma tried to make nice to me by showing me she had bought me a new bed. It's one of those memory foam mattress (got to admit it's real nice), but don't tell my momma I said that.

She gave me a new cookie, which I couldn't refuse and I gobbled it down fast, cuz I didn't want it to disappear like the rest of them did. I finally had to forgive my momma when she showed me she had bought me a new toy - It's a stuffed gobblin that makes a funny noise when I play with it. I love it. Maybe next time she wants to by me a toy she can do it without taking me to the vet - you think?
