Its that time again for ghouls and drools! I have been really good all year, so Mama decided I was going to be an Angel for Howl-O-Ween! Last year I was quite the opposite... 
My costume had wings, a halo and a fu-fu dress! For a Puggle that hates clothes...it was kind of pretty!
Look...if I try really hard and run really fast...I might be able to fly!
I hope every ghoul and pup have a SAFE and HAPPY HOWL-O-WEEN!
Today was another great day at the dog park. This time, I got to visit a new park at Austin's Auditorium Shores. The park was big with lots of puppies. We had access to the water on Lady Bird Lake and had views of the Austin skyline.
I got to pose with the statue of Stevie Ray Vaughn, which helps display Austin as "The Music Capital of the World."
Austin also has this new campaign, "Scoop the Poop." Austin is a very clean and environmentally green city. We are also super pet friendly and want to make sure the dogs and the humans share the parks, so the city adopted a new campaign reminding all the humans to "scoop the poop!"
There was even a huge pile of brown dirt with a doggy cartoon, to remind every human that if the poop doesn't get picked up, it can be as big as the mound displayed...
The city put up a huge shovel with the message painted on it to remind all the humans and doggies who uses the park. See how big the statue is...
Today, Mama made me my favorite snack, fresh cooked Chicken Breast..umm, ummm yum! The package of chicken was pretty hefty! Before it was cooked...
After it was cooked....
Then my Mama pulls it apart into strips.
The chicken broth is not wasted, Mama bottles the broth up and sometimes it is used to soften my kibbles.
I sometimes get chicken strips as a treat, but I mainly get chicken during trick training.
Regardless, when I get the chicken, I'm just happy to have chicken in my life!!!!
Mama finally came and got me and made me tread water.
Daddy was great at encouraging me along. My Mama always makes sure that I keep her entertained. My newest accomplishment is speaking to her! Remarkably, it only took two days to learn to "speak." Of course Mama does her best in making sure I stay on my toes. Tell me what you think?
Hugs,
CoCo Puff
The humans have been too busy to help me keep up with my blog lately. We have moved since my last post. My Uncle Gary has bought a house and we've moved further away from the city.
Mama now lives 15 minutes further away than before. I'm sad that it will take her longer to come visit me! She did make sure that I had all my goodies packed up for the move.
It's lazy days until the Summer heat is over!
I was a mere 4lbs.....JPG)
I enjoyed chewing from a very young age...preferably DINGO bones....jpg)
It was love at first sight for me and Daddy!.jpg)
Mama made sure I had enough chewies....jpg)
I would plop down in the middle of playing to take a nap...
Then I was up and about again...
I love to play!
I was a smart pup from the beginning. I knew where to lay to cool off...the tile is always cooler than the carpet.
I was a tiny thing with sharp teeth...look, the mini tennis ball was stuck to my tooth!.jpg)
Was I a cutie patootie or what?.jpg)
Where is CoCo?
I've always been a pain in Susie's rear....jpg)
Now I'm bigger than her and I hold my own!
Enjoy,
CoCo Puff
It has been the hottest Summer on record here in Texas. The closest thing I get to daring to get sun exposure is catching the rays that beams through the window in the mornings. Other than that, it is lazy days til it cools off.
Nothing beats relaxing and napping all day indoors in the cold air conditioning.
Although, I do miss sniffing at the dog park and having extra long walks. It is just not possible when the temperature has been an average of 103 degrees. I think today's forecast said it will be record 105 again!
I also wear a black fur coat all year long, so again...Indoors in the COLD A/C it is until at least Halloween!
I received lots of squeaky toys, one in the shape of a present, a double squeaky cherries, a margarita and a new loofa dog. I also received a lot of treats. My birthday cake and cookies were from Groovy Dog Bakery, which is local here in Austin.
Mama bought my birthday cake there last year too...they are super yummy and super organic! Happy Birthday to Me!!! My birthday cake this year tasted of honey, apple and carob. It was delicious! Mama made me pose with all my presents.
I was not very amused!!!
Don't you think I look ridiculously silly in that frilly birthday tiara???
I celebrated with my roommates, Susie and Duke.
Duke was not very amused when he had to wear the birthday hat. We all had our own slice of cake.
I gobbled mine up in a heart beat! I wanted seconds.
Birthdays are great! I had a great one!
IT IS HOT!!!! My Mama finally took the advice from Preston the Puggle's Mommy and bought me an "Outward Hound Cool-it" bandana. Lets just say it really works!
They come in colors for both boys and girls. Mama got me the pink one since it looks better on my black fur coat.
The Cool-it Bandana even works great in keeping me comfortable while indoors! For a pup that do not like to wear anything in the Clothes category...I actually like this one and not mind it at all. I would have to give it two paws UP!

It took me longer than usual to eat wet food. It definitely took more licks to finish than regular kibbles. I enjoyed every last lick and am so not looking forward to plain dry kibbles after my prescribed time is up!.JPG)
Happy FATHER's DAY Daddy! I know Mama said that you are a "dog owner" and not a real "Daddy," but to me...you are the B-E-S-T Daddy any Puggle can ask for. Thank you for loving me and Mama unconditionally! You are #1 in our books! Have a GREAT FATHER'S DAY!
CoCo Puff here...I'm a little dazed and confused! Today was the day...I had my Dental Surgery. It was painful! I woke up at my usual time this morning and Susie and Duke were given breakfast, but I wasn't. I was not allowed any food before surgery. I was not too pleased with that...those of you who knows me, knows that I live to "eat."
I will be on meds for the next week, so I will keep you all posted. Until then, THANK YOU to all my blog buddies for wishing me well!
When he checked and compared both sides of my mouth, it was confirmed that my left top P4 molar was half gone.
Then, Daddy called the Vet Dentist and asked questions. The Vet told him over the phone that my broken molar may have to be extracted! We have an appointment for this Thursday in the early morning for a consultation, and possible extraction...Mama is really scared! As you can see. The arrow points at the tooth where there is nerve exposure. The circle tooth is suppose to be pointed.
I've always been a super chewer and love to chew hard things, but no one really thought I would lose a tooth over it!
Don't laugh! But my Daddy was so impressed with Preston the Puggle's ability to wear Doggles, that he wanted to see if I could wear them too. So today he took me to Petsmart to try on some Doggles..jpg)
I do not like wearing clothes, much less wearing sun shades. The most humiliating part was that Mama suggested that I walk around the store wearing those silly things. Needless to say, I refused to walk and when I did, I look like I was drunk walking. The other shoppers were laughing hysterically at me!.jpg)
Then, to top it off...Daddy had me weighed on the scale at Petsmart. I came in at a heafty 21.8 lbs. Immediately after the weigh-in, Daddy said "CoCo you are going on a D-I-E-t!" For those of you who have seen this dilema before, this is what I had to go through last fall. D-I-E-t...YUCK! Daddy then prescribed me diet food, no treats and a walkie everyday in this 100 degree heat! Yikes! It was no fun visiting Petsmart today!.jpg)
