Arrival Story: Found him on craigslist.org in Rainier,WA. Sent a bunch of emails back and forth, set up a time to check him out, fell in love at first sight and paid the $200 rehoming fee and brought him home the same day :) after searching for the right australian cattle dog puppy for the last 3yrs.

Bio: Feb.25,2008 Cobar went in to get fixed and 5hrs after the surgery, he had to go to the emergancy clinic because he had severe bruising and groin was very swollen. My vet suggested that we send some of his blood to Cornell University and on Feb. 28, 2008 We found out that Cobar is a Hemophilia Type A, which means his blood can't clot like normal dogs and is missing Factor VIII which is the clotting factor in the blood. It's very rare for a dog to have this and actually be living, Cobar almost didn't make it but after 2 1/2 months he has recovered fully and is back to his normal routine!

Okay so I haven't been around much to update my diary...and a ton of things have been happening since the new year!
Jan. Completed Basic Obedience Class :)
Feb. Mom's car got backed into at the barn while I was sleeping in the backseat! Scared the poop out of me..mom's car ended up being totalled..
End Feb. I got neutered and found out that I have a very rare disease called Hemophelia Type A which means I can't get hurt badly and especially cut or i'll bleed and possibly die..
March & Mid April, were spent healing after getting fixed and almost dying cause mom, dad & the vet didn't know I had an extremely rare disease.
Mid April got to go back to work with mom at the daycare!! WOOHOOO and see all my dog buddies again. Limited playtime though till I figured out to take breaks!!! Oh and I started Intermediate Obedience class.
May, graduated from Intermediate Obedience class. Went with mom to the new Daycare location called K9 Clubhouse which has way more room to run and play!!
June, went on my first camping/hiking trip! Boy that was supper fun times, riding in the new truck that replaced mom's car that got totalled. DUDE I have a whole seat for myself!!!
July, I started Click-A-Trick training while I wait for an advanced obedience class to get some people in it! Last night (july11th.) I got to learn how to play dead, bow & go around objects! I really liked the Bowing!
Okay that's it for now! Going on another hiking camping trip next weekend WOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Nov. 26th, Mom's 30th birthday turned out to be a semi crappy one..first when she woke up, found out that one of the servers had been hacked :( and dad was gonna be gone for most of the day :( I hung out with mom helping fold clothes and dragging my toys around the house and trying to get the cat to play with me.. she's a hard one to play with tooo!
At noon mom took a break and made some lunch, I got to lick the tuna fish bowl after the cat drank the juice..which was okay with me :) Then mom got dressed and we went to the horse barn where my giant horse sister "Little Girl" stays. I had to stay in the car cause the place wont let mommy bring me inside. :( but that was okay cause I had my giant pig ear and "Little Girl's" navajo horsey blanket to lay on.
At 3pm we left the horse barn and went to the vet office...I've been having issues with my right rear leg(gave mom a scare on Thanksgiving morning when she woke up.. My leg was swollen from my hip down to my "hock" and there was a giant bruise on the inside on my groin and it was spreading. It didn't bother me i was still eating & drinking my food and playing.) The vet called mom Monday morning to let her know that my blood work came back and everything was normal! So mom & vet decided that it was time for me to get my boosters since I missed my 12 week ones due to some funkiness with my tummy aka rhodi leaves & some other stuff I had decided to mack down on outside (it was really yummy!) so now I'm 15 weeks and getting close to the 16 week boosters..so mommy had them also microchip me and just when I thought the shots and stuff was over....mom remembered that I needed a bordetella so i could go to the doggie daycare with her! UGHHH...........soooo back in I went and i got the intranasal one..but then mommy said we were done with all the nasty stuff and that we were gonna go to PetSmart and get me a new toy!!! WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!
We left the vet office, but not to go off topic I really like my vet Renee, she's a really nice lady! We made it to PetSmart and the weather got really yucky so we ran inside and mommy found me a ChuckIt Boomarang and I carried it to the checkout. We left the store and got home around 5pm. I started playing with it while mom was talking to her mom on the phone..and less than 5 minutes of playing the seam stitches broke :( so mommy took it away and put it back in the bag and is gonna take it back and get a new toy..cause she was upset that it didn't last :(
At 6pm Dad came home finally and told mom that he was taking her out to dinner & a movie! I wanted to go with them but couldn't cause it was getting cold outside.. so went outside for a potty break then in my crate I went with my Bambo Little Kahuna security pillow. They left around 7:30 and got home around 11:30 which I really had to go pee!!!! Then mommy stayed up for another hour and gave me my antibotics then played some more then back outside for final potty break and then to bed in my crate.
WOW.. i just wrote a book!
