After Dinner Stare!

My Daddy likes to indulge in front of me! After dinner, he likes to eat his Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Almond Crunch Bar. Whenever he does that, I get into position and do my stare.
Hey wait...don't finish the whole thing!!!! Save some for me!!!!!
After the entire stare session, all I get is the stick! Pooey!!!! Something along the line of me not being able to eat chocolate!
I hope I have better luck next time!

Hugs,

Its Barking Cold here in Texas!!!!

I woke up this morning and I could smell it in the air that something was not quite like my usual morning. As usual, the first thing I do when I get up is to go outside to do my business! Damp, white and freezing is what I felt under my paws!
I cannot seem to find my usual spot to go....where did the smell go? What is all this white stuff?
Daddy decided to take me out front...and oh my, there was more of that freezing fluffy stuff!
After sniffing it out....I was told it was something called "snow!" We actually received enough for it to be measurable. I think it was almost an inch worth! This is my first experience with the fluffy stuff. I don't think I'm up for this!
Its too cold for my comfort! I think I'm going to go get my sweater! For those of you who know me...I'm not much for clothes. You know its cold when I'm willing to opt for it. I think it was something like 18 degrees F this morning!
Okay, I'm not that much of a fashionista.....will someone remove my hood?
Hey, this paw print thingy is pretty cool!
Look at all my paw prints....I think I did pretty good at leaving my mark in playing in the snow!
Okay, I think I've had enough experiencing of this "snow" business....can we go inside now?
Back inside where its nice and toasty! I'll be inside doing this all day as long as there is that fluffy stuff outside!
Look!!!! It was so barking cold that my Mama was able to build a mini snowman at her house! She was so excited, this was her first snowman here in her hometown of Austin, Texas!
We have to bow our snouts down to all those pups and humans that endure this weather and temperature every winter! There is no way us Texans can survive this mess! BBbbrrrrrrrr!

Stay Warm!

Slow start to 2011

I've had a slow start to the new year! My Mama has been slow in coming in helping me blog these days. Since buying a house, and moving 30 miles away from my house, she is almost a stranger! I'm so sad. She also feels very guilty when she goes for a while before seeing me!

At any rate...we had a very quiet Christmas, and I received great presents from my pals Preston, and Bruschi and Ebby. They were all so kind and generous. Thank you bloggy pals!
Look at the chewies Bruschi and Ebby sent along with the beautiful Xmas Card Photo. Yum! I had to share with Susie and Duke!Look at the bag of treats and leggy stuffy Preston sent, along with his festive card!
This year the retailers have gotten smarter. In past years, I've always received a lot of Dingo bones as a New Year's gift due to the "after Christmas sales." This year, there were no New Year's gifts due to the retailers not having any doggy bones for the holidays. Mama and I were a bit disappointed! But a Greenie will always cheer me up!

This winter has been quite chilly too! I've been stuck indoors quite a bit. On the rare occasions where I do get out, we have Cedar Fever here in Austin!

Cedar Fever is when all the Cedar pollen disperse into the air at the same time. A lot of humans are highly allergic...my Daddy being one of the them, so we don't get to go out for walkies much. When outdoors, I want nothing to do with getting my picture taken, so Mama calls me a "professional camera dodger!"
I refuse to look into the camera....can we continue walking please?
We cannot wait until Spring arrives! We hope every human and every pup have a mild and pleasant winter!

Hugs,
CoCo

Dear Santa Paws

Dear Santa Paws,

This year again has flown by! I almost did not get my letter out in time with my wish list for Christmas. As usual, I've been an excellent pup all year round and deserve lots of rewards. I am now a full grown pup at 4 1/2, and am starting to show it too. I've grown lots of white fur on my chin and had just received news from the vet that I have a knobbly knee. I do not show signs of any aches or pain, but my Mama is worried to death about me. This year for Christmas I would like:
  • for Mama not to worry
  • for me to stay spunky and strong
  • for Daddy to spoil me rotten
  • for Uncle Phil to be jolly
  • Bones to chew on
  • Greenies
  • Lots of Treats
  • Stuffy toys with squeakers

Also like years past, please do not send:
  • clothes, costumes
  • baths, or grooming products
  • annoying neighbors
  • bad weather
  • diet kibbles
This list goes ditto for Duke and Susie also. I am sincere in my wishes as you can see. I even got all dressed up in showing my Pawliday spirit. Please remember me, as I am a pup worth rewarding!

May there be peace on earth and good health to all!

Happy Pawlidays!!!!

Day with Mama!

Spending the day with Mama is quite relaxing. I just lounge around while she does house chores!
She is super nice and shares her breakfast with me! Today she had Kix cereal.Of course my Mama always makes me work for my food!Then I do a great job in giving her things to do. "Mama, will you pick up my chewy bone for me?"I would give her the cute puppy dog eyes and it works every time!Thanks for picking up my bone for me!
Happy Birthday to my Mama!

Hugs,

International Treats!

Happy Thanksgiving to every human and every pup! I hope that everyone was able to eat a bundle!

Susie, my roommate received a care package from Korea. Look what we found inside!!!!
Dried Anchovies, Chicken wrapped rawhide bones, milkbones, and cheese rolls!They were not any typical kind of treats, they were a bunch of International Treats. A lot of which we've never had, nor can ever find here in the U.S. This here has been all of our favorite....Dried Anchovies, made especially for dogs!
It is so stinky that it makes us drool from the sound of the crackling bag it comes in! Look closely, you can see the bones still in them!
There was also this really cool Meaty Cheese Roll treat. We definitely don't have that here!
My eyes definitely light up when given an Anchovy treat!
Please stop taking my picture so I can go chow down on this treat....bones and all!
Yum!

Sundays in the Fall

Sunday at Mama's house is a relaxing experience. The house has great lighting and the couch is quite comfy too.I'll usually hang out on the couch, relaxing and minding my own business, until Daddy busts out the football food.

Human food always gets my attention, and I'll sit up on high alert.

This is what captured my attention....it's quite smelly for it to be human food!
I give Daddy the stare down...until he finally notices. On Sundays, he's usually too busy looking at the television, watching teams go against each other with this egg shaped ball.
Here I am with my "focused face."
The stare down always work....prize achieved! One point to CoCo Puff to zero points to Daddy!
Yum!

Happy Howl-o-Ween 2010!!!

Happy Howl-o-Ween to every pup and every human! Usually it is a holiday that is joyous for all, but I especially dislike it because I have to be the cutie-pa-tootie in a costume! Yuck!

This year, Mama thought that I would be super cute dressed up according to my nickname. Often times, Mama calls me Pumpkin Pie, even though my real name is CoCo Puff. Do catch her trend going for me....seems to be all food names?!?!??

So here I am....I'm Mama's Pumpkin Pie for Howl-o-Ween!
The pumpkin top was especially annoying. I was ready to toss it off to the dumps in this pic!
Although, I would have to say that I do look pretty flattering in the color orange! Its nice and appropriate for Howl-o-ween against my black fur.
Okay, what kind of treats am I going to get for doing the awesome trick of wearing this pumpkin for all your humor? Trick-or-Treat! I would like a bone please!!!!
I hope every pup and human have a very safe and happy Howl-o-Ween!

Treats,
CoCo Puff aka Pumpkin Pie

Update on the Stinky Ear!

Sorry for not having a picture of me this post. My pawrents have been a little too busy. They went to a place like this:
Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to go. They felt super guilty leaving me at a friend's house, but especially guilty since I haven't fully recovered from my "ear infection."

We have been dealing with the gunk in my one ear, which then turned into both ears for the last 1 1/2 months. So today, Daddy took me to Dr. Love again. Turns out, it is allergies that are causing my irritations and not an ear infection.....barkkidy bark, bark! So I had my ears cleaned and was given a new treatment....hopefully this will clear it all up! Paws crossed! The good news is, I've lost one whole pound since our last visit! Mama is so proud of me...Daddy wasn't too impressed; he said I need to lose another pound...errrrgh!

I hope all are doing well!

Stinky Ear!

I found a sun spot in Mama's bedroom, and decided that sunbathing in the morning, indoors, is the best way of capturing my daily dose of Vitamin D!


As far as the Stinky Ear goes....its another ear infection. This time its the opposite ear than the first one I had 3 years ago. They say that once you get an ear infection, you are prone to getting them, so watch out Puggles, we are prone to them due to our floppy ears. ***Always make sure your Moms and Dads dry your ears really well after a bath. Thank goodness Daddy checked my ears and discovered the icky-ness before it got really bad. I was a good girl this time and didn't scratch as much to let the parents know I was in ear trouble.

So, after the Vet visit today, I'm on ear treatment and antibiotic ointments for 10 whole days. The worst part of this whole ordeal was that my weigh-in at the Vet came out at 22.3 lbs. The Vet told Daddy that she couldn't feel my ribs....=( Which now means...reduce food again and DIET, here I come.

YUCK!!!
