Luv The Cooper

If It's Not One Thing It's Another

2009-03-14T17:01:00.001-07:00

Cooper here. You'd think I had enough to do just keepin' watch all day on the couch, watching out for that sneaky mailman and those stray cats...not to mention that EVIL UPS man, but noooooo, Mommy has added another chore for me. Yes, she brought home something called a "dirt devil". Doesn't sound good does it? It was just sittin' over there in the corner, but I knew it was up to no good. First, mommy was wrestling with it and it was growling and roaring and then she got it beat back into the corner. I couldn't believe what happened next....she just left it there and went off to the computer. Well, I took up watch over it, someone has to be responsible around here.

Happy New Year!!!

2009-01-01T13:16:00.000-08:00

Cooper here....and Carley too!! We just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!
We are just hangin' out today. It is finally raining here and not snowing....and Cooper got a bath!!

The Abominable Snowman

2008-12-16T17:40:00.000-08:00

Cooper here. Betcha' thought I was the Abominable Snowman didn'ya?? Nope, it's me Cooper, back home here in Washington. Me and Mommy and Daddy moved back here 'cause we missed the snow, or I think that is why we moved back here. Oh yeah, we brung ole' Carley too. Mommy said we had too.
I been playin' in the snow bunches!! When we first got here, there wasn't no snow, but then one morning I woked up and there it was!!! I was hoping it would come soon, so Santa Paws can come with his sleigh and visit me. I wrote him a long list of stuff that I need, and I told him where he could find me this year, since I had moved and all. I told him Carley had moved too, I didn't want him to leave her out, 'cause then I might have to SHARE with her.
Mommy says we are getting even more snow tomorrow. I think she doesn't like the snow so much, she says it's too cold!!! Plus, the snow likes to stick to my paws and we have to blow dry the snow off them... I don't like that part neither!! The very, very best part of snow though, is I don't get as many baths...Mommy says I will get too cold, so I get to go longer between those ole' baths. Yay SNOW!!!!!

Hook Em Horns!!

2008-10-29T05:34:00.000-07:00

Carley here. I had a great football weekend!! Our friends Sam and Chris came to visit to go to the Longhorn Football game with us. Well...actually, I didn't go to the game, but I was cheering the 'Horns on. They won, of course. Cooper stayed home too, but he didn't cheer nobody on.

Carley says Happy Birthday Daddy!!

2008-06-12T07:48:00.001-07:00

Carley here. Happy Birthday Daddy!! This is just me sayin Happy Birthday, too, not Cooper, just me!! Cooper wouldn't even come out of the house at first, mommy had to trick him by saying "Hello, Jake" and Jake wudden even here. Geeez!! What me and mommy have to go through to get Cooper to coperate!!

umm, oh yeah, if you want to send my Daddy your own Birthday pitcher his email is tony.westing@gmail.com

Today is My Daddy's Birthday!!

2008-06-12T07:42:00.001-07:00

Cooper here. Today is my Daddy's Birthday!!! He is not here, though, for us to give him kisses...he had to go to that ole' Alabama place to look at stupid airplanes again!! Me & Carley miss him bunches!! We want him to come home so we can go to the LAKE!! Mommy helped us make this sign for him so we could tell him Happy Birthday!! Daddy, this picture is me giving you kisses!! Carley isn't givin no kisses, she's just standin' there!!

Carley's Take on the New Fence and Other Stuff

2008-01-13T15:21:00.000-08:00

Carley here. First off, that Cooper is a big, fat ole LIA....uh.....I mean fibber!! (Mommy says it's not nice to call people liars...even if they are) He didn't build that fence, our brother Brandt and our Daddy builded it. Cooper didn't build nothin'!! And mommy says that the sign is gonna have my name on it too, not just his stupid ole name...that ole LIA....I mean fibber!! All's I'm saying is if Cooper had on pants they would have burned up a long time ago.
And so what if I got a few sticky burrs on me...least I'm not afraid to get in the water!! That Cooper is a big ole' fraidy cat of everything. But Burt & Alice's park is lots and lots of fun. Mommy and Daddy took us there for Cooper's Birthday and then we got to go again last week. I hope Mommy and Daddy take us again for MY Birthday...which is coming up really, really soon. (Maybe for my birthday wish, I will wish Cooper don't get to go to Burt & Alice's Park.) I am going to be 2 years old!!! I can't wait!! Here's a picture of me in front of the fence my Daddy built.

Pedernales State Park & The New Fence

2008-01-13T15:04:00.000-08:00

Cooper here. I have been a very busy fellow. I have been building a fence. My daddy and me built it. It has a sign on it, too. The sign says "Cooper's House", cause it is. It don't say Carley nowhere on it neither. That is not all I been doing. I also went and played in the sand at Burt & Alice's State Park. I just love that place!! I like to roll and roll in the sand. I let Carley come too. 'Course, she got sticky burrs all over her. I didn't get no burrs on me. She is sooo dumb. We didn't see Burt or Alice anywhere's though, but I sure do like their park and I am glad they let me play in it and roll in their sand!! Here is some pictures of my fence I built. Me and Daddy still have to do the gates for the front of it.

Here We Are!!!

2007-09-24T15:21:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Sorry we have been away so long. We have been very busy. I don't know what we were busy doing, but I know it was something. My mommy has been very busy too. She got a new job at the Post Office. She sorts mail with a grouchy lady named Ebbolin. She just has to work in the morning times, though...hey....hey, cut it out......mmshsllsjmem.....
Carley here, shove over Cooper, it's my turn already!! First off, her name isn't Ebbolin, dummy, it's Evelyn! And mommy said she is really nice most of the time. Anyways, I wanted to tell about my Annversary!! I have lived with Mommy and Daddy for one whole year!!! YAY!!! Also, my daddy is coming home today from Indynanna. He has been gone ever so long. CUT IT OUT COOPER...mshshsmslsd;j.sxmfd;fkjd....OWWWWW!!!
Cooper here (again)...I was here first you ole Carley and nobody cares about your Annversary, where I have had to put up with you and your bossy self for a WHOLE YEAR!! And her name is too EBBOLIN!!! Who made you head spell checker anyways?? Anyhow, I was gonna tell about Daddy coming home from Indynanna. Did you forget who's name is on this blog, anyways???

The Art Gallery Called

2007-08-17T11:27:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. The Art Gallery called Mommy today and wanted to hang our pictures in their newest display. She said that could. That last one is a little freaky, but you know how the art world is, and I like to give my public want they want!! Carley is just glad they didn't do one with her nekkid butt!! We'll be available for autographs when we figure out how to work the pen!!

More Pictures of Us with Our New Haircuts!!

2007-08-15T13:45:00.000-07:00

Carley here. This is some more pictures of us with our hair all cutted off. Mommy said if I got a haircut all over, then my butt wouldn't look so bald!! She also said it would keep us nice and cool for the hot weather. I think I feel kinda nekkid though!! I'm glad she made Cooper go too, I don't wanna be nekkid by myself!! Now Cooper is just walkin around with that ole goofy grin on his face! I think he really likes having his hair all cutted off, I'm still not sure yet though.

We got Pawfessionally Groomed

2007-08-15T13:39:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Bet you can't guess who these pictures are....YEP, that's me an Carley!! We got pawfessionally groomed! That means we got our hair cutted off! Mommy took us today. She said Carley needed to be "evened up" cause of her surgry. She said she didn't want to leave me out, so I went too!! Now I'm all "evened up" too!! We were so very good and now we are all cool for this hot, hot weather.

Today was very HOT!!!!

2007-08-09T14:03:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Today was very, very HOT! Me & Carley decided to go swimming in our swimmy pool. We let Daddy go too. Carley is such a float hog!!

Carley Went Back to the Dogter

2007-08-01T11:22:00.001-07:00

Carley here. Look at me, I finally got a bath!! I hadn't had one in a looooong time 'cause of my hurted leg. Cooper was calling me "stinky"!!
Yesterday I went back to the dogter and got my stiches out. I found out stiches was the blue thread that was sticking out of my owwie. It's all gone now. But, I still don't got no hair on my butt...nobody teases me though, not even that ole' Cooper.
When I was at the dogter, everybody loved me. The ceptionist asked mommy if she could take me around and show me off while mommy was writing. Then I went to fiscal therapy. That means this lady stretched on my legs and bounced me on a ball and made me stand on this board that tilted back and forth. She said I was wonderful!! Then she put me in this glass thing and all this water just came from nowhere. Then the floor under me moved!! It was scary at first but then I just walked along. It is a called a underwater treadmill. Mommy said she was soooo proud of me.
When I got home I told Cooper all about it. He said I was gettin' a big head, I'm not that great!!
Alot he knows!!!

Brothers were Home!!

2007-08-01T11:16:00.001-07:00

Cooper here. We had the best weekend ever!! Our brothers came and stayed with us all weekend. I haven't seen Chase in forever and I was wondering what had happened to him. But then, me and Mommy and Brandt went to the airport and there he was!! Oh yeah, Carley came to the airport too. I got his hat off, just like old times!!! This is them at the lake. Me and Carley had to stay home, cause Carley's hurted leg is not all better yet.

Peek A Boo We See You!!

2007-07-26T12:54:00.000-07:00

Cooper & Carley here. We was outside takin' a nap!!

Carley is Back!!

2007-07-24T16:29:00.001-07:00

Carley here. I am back from my surgry. My leg was hurted again, and I couldn't walk on it. Mommy and the Dogter said it was out of sowket. I had to go to the dogter that fixes legs and now my leg is fixed, except I still can't use it. Mommy says I will be able to use it more and more and it will get better and better. I am not supposed to jump or run or nothin', but sometimes I forget and I do. My ouchy is real long and it kinda itches, but I am supposed to leave it alone, but sometimes I forget that too. Mommy always reminds me though! I have stiches too, but I don't know what that means, I think it means someone cut all my hair off on my butt. Mommy says that will grow back...but every day I look and my butt still don't got no hair. I am feeling lots better though, I didn't feel so good for awhile there, and I had to spend the night in the hospital and I was scared. Mommy says Cooper missed me lots and moped around when I was gone, but Cooper says he dint, he was just tired was all. I think he did miss me, cause he hasn't teased me about my butt at all.

Carley Leg Is Hurt Again

2007-07-19T09:08:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. I am very, very sad today. My Carley's leg is hurt again. She can't play or nothin'. It hurts her very bad. She went to the dogters on Saturday cause we was playin and she cried. I didn't hurt her...Mommy said...she said Carley just has a bad leg. I was soooo scaird and worried for my Carley, she is my bestest sister ever!! This is how she looked when they brought her back from the dogters. Her leg came out of the socket again, Mommy said, and they had to put it back in. It came out of the socket again last night, so she has to go to the hospital on Saturday and have a operation that will fix her leg all better for always. Mommy says we won't be able to play for a long time though, til her gets all healed up. I am so sad for Carley, she don't feel good at all. Mommy said she has the spend the night at the hospital on Saturday after her operation and she will get to come home on Sunday. I have been watching over my Carley and I am going to take very good care of her and help her get all better!!

Brotherly & Sisterly Love

2007-07-12T18:23:00.000-07:00

I WAS NOT POUTING!! HMPHHGRRRR YES, YOU WERE!!! HMPHGHRRR NO, I WASN'T!!! TAKE IT BACK! HMPHHHHRR CRYBABY GIRL!! HPHMMMPPHR

.... Oh Hi Mommy, we weren't doin nothin'!!!

I am not Pouting!!

2007-07-11T11:07:00.001-07:00

Carley here. That Cooper thinks he is so smart! I am not pouting!! I DO miss my Daddy, but I am not pouting!!

It's Tuesday!

2007-07-10T14:05:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Today my daddy had to go back to work in Indynanna. Me and Carley like it better when he is home with us. He gives us more treats than Mommy does, she says Daddy is making us fat! Carley gets specially sad when Daddy leaves for Indynanna, so she is pouting today and didn't want to talk or have her picture taken.
This is me on my favorite chair. I like to sit on the arm, or if I sit on the back I can look out the window. I like to check out the window sometimes and make sure Jake & Honey are behavin'! Carley will be back later after she is done pouting!

Another picture of us!!

2007-07-07T19:42:00.001-07:00

Cooper here! This is another picture of us at our new house. This is our blue ball we like to play with. Carley thinks it is just hers, but it belongs to me too. Mommy thinks this is a funny picture of us!!

Carley's Turn

2007-07-07T19:32:00.000-07:00

Carley Here!! That ole' Cooper, he just jumped on here and I wanted to go first!! I am a Texas puppy too, not just him. Here is me feeling all better after my accident. This is when Mommy finally let me play with my favorite ball again after my leg got all better!! This is before I got my new shorter "Texas" haircut too. Mommy said it would be hot here, and I would need a haircut. It's not very hot here, it really rains alot, but I like my new haircut, I don't have to wear those ole' girly bows too much anymore!
Me and Cooper really like it here, but he sure is bossy to Jake and Honey and they never do nothin' to him. He thinks he is so tough, but he isn't...he is ascaird of all the thunder (Mommy said that's what the boom noises are when it rains). He pretends he's not...but I know he is. I don't like it much either!

Cooper is Back!! (and Carley too!)

2007-07-07T19:18:00.000-07:00

Cooper Here!! I am back!! Sorry I was gone so long, you must have thought I had to walk from Washington to Texas!! Mommy lost our password, so we couldn't tell you all of our adventures. We have moved back to Texas, and I am now officially a Texas Puppy! Carley came too. Here is us when we first got here. We really like it here, but it sure does rain here alot! Mommy said it usually doesn't, but she must be confused, 'cause it rains ALL the time here! Also, there are always loud booming noises outside when it rains. It scares Carley, but not me. I stay right by Mommy when I hear them because I don't want Mommy to be scared.
I have been busy keeping Jake and Honey in line, I always have to remind them who is boss...they forget very easily!! I also get to see my brother Brandt and his girlfriend Sarah a whole lot. I love Sarah...but Brandt is a little spoiled, if you ask me. I have lots more to tell you so I will be back later!

Carley-Bear Update

2007-04-20T12:07:00.000-07:00

Cooper & Carley's Mommy here. As many of you know, our Carley-Bear was in a terrible accident on Tuesday night. Fortunately, Miss Carley-Bear is one tough cookie, and she will eventually be all right. She had her right leg pulled out of socket and her pelvis was broken in two places. With lots of rest and love, she should be back to her ole "Rough & Tumble" self in about 6 weeks.
Carley wants to thank everyone for their good thoughts, prayers and well-wishes!! She appreciates all of you who care about her!! Cooper is being very gentle with his Carley, but he is wishing she would play with him!! Carley hasn't had much of an appetite, but Cooper has kindly stepped in and has been eating her share. Cooper & Carley will be moving to Texas next week and they are both excited. It will probably be awhile before they will be available to update their blog, but they will be back soon!! (Lookout Jake & Honey)!!

Is It Monday Already???

2007-04-16T10:14:00.000-07:00

Cooper & Carley here. Is it Monday already? It's only 9:45 am...we're not ready to get up yet, MOMMY!!!

Carley's Birthday is Today!!!

2007-02-20T11:48:00.000-08:00

Carley here. Today is my first Birthday!! Yay!! I am all caught up to Cooper!! And...it is snowing today on my birthday! This is me in my Birthday/Valentine's dress. I also got another new dress and 4 new shirts and two new hoodies for my birthday. I also got a really cool squirrel toy and me and Cooper really like that. I tell him he can play with it, but it is mine and not his. I also got a cute white bunny toy. Mommy says Daddy will probably bring me home something special too when he comes home from work. We were going to go visit Daddy today at work, but I think we aren't going to now, cause it is snowing. Me and Cooper already went out and chased each other in the snow. I have other big news too...I am going on an airplane again to go on vacation!! I get to go to Texas again to visit our house there and to visit my MiMi. I will also get to see my other brother, Brandt, who is in college there. Me and Cooper are super excited...we like to go to Dripping Springs!! I gotta go...I think Cooper has my new squirrel toy...he knows he only gets to play with that when I SAY SO!!! COOOOOOOOOOOOOPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cooper & Carley's Portrait

2007-02-10T16:20:00.000-08:00

Cooper here. Look, Mommy had a picture of me and Carley painted to hang by the front door. I guess she wanted everyone to know who lives here. Wonder why she didn't have her and Daddy painted on there too?? Here's Mommy holding us up by the slate..that's Mommy in the middle and I am the handsome guy on the left. Oh, and Carley's there too.
Me and Carley and Mommy and Daddy went to the airport today to pick up Chase. So, I can't talk no more, I have to go and play with him. I just wanted to show everyone me & Carley's new painting!

Carley the "Pretty Little Girl"

2007-02-06T15:16:00.000-08:00

Carley here. Well, it is February now, and February is my special month. My mommy told me it was. She said this is my birthday month and that I am going to be 1 years old on the 20th of February!!! I am so excited, I will be all caught up with Cooper, 'cause he is already one. Mommy says I getting to be such pretty grown-up little girl. My hair is finally growing longer, and we put my hair up into a ponytail nearly everyday. I sit there very good for mommy! Mommy dresses me up in pretty dresses and pink shirts and says what a pretty girl I am!! I forget sometimes though, to be a pretty little girl and I get dirty or play really hard and my bows come out. Yesterday, I had on my pretty pink shirt and I forgot and walked under the car and had a big grease spot on my new shirt. I do try really hard though to remember to be a pretty little girl. My daddy is my special guy!! Mommy says I am a "Daddy's girl" and I guess I am...I just love my daddy so much!! I really want him to be just MY daddy but I try to remember to be a pretty little girl and share him with Cooper, but it is really hard sometimes to share my Daddy!! I am getting a new special dress for Valentine's Day and for my Birthday. I am so excited to see it and try it on. I don't mind wearing my pretty clothes at all, Cooper runs and hides when he sees Mommy has clothes, I guess he doesn't want to be a pretty little girl!

Cooper's Snowman

2007-01-16T16:54:00.000-08:00

Cooper here. Well, I thought since we got all this new snow today and it was the sticky kind that I would build my first snowman. Here he is. I couldn't build him too very big, 'cause I am not too very big, but I think he looks pretty good for my first one anyway. Mommy helped me put the carrot nose in and then she took the pictures for me to share with everyone. I also let the snowman wear the hat what I got from my brother Chase. He has to give it back though, I just borrowed it to him for awhile. I hope he lasts for a long time, Mommy said if it gets too warm he will melt. Maybe I will bring him inside if it gets too warm tomorrow, I can put him in the fridgerator, I think he will fit.

Carley Does Go In the Snow

2007-01-16T13:34:00.000-08:00

Carley here. That ole' Cooper doesn't know what he is talking about...I do so go in the snow, see I have pictures... I can prove it!! Just cause I am smart enough to come in when I get cold and I don't actually try to eat the snow, doesn't make me a GIRL! Cooper will stay out so long he will get all frozed up and then someone has to go out and get him...he is such a dumb ole' BOY!!

Whoo Hooo....Snowing Again

2007-01-16T13:25:00.000-08:00

Cooper here. Well it was snowing again this morning when I got up!! Yay!! I love the snow!!! My Mommy and Daddy say they are tired of the snow, I don't know why though...snow is so fun!! Here is me out in the snow this morning. Carley just comes out for a little bit and then goes up on the porch...here is Carley on the porch, sometimes she is such a GIRL!!

Monday Morning for Cooper & Carley

2007-01-15T10:43:00.000-08:00

Cooper here. Good morning!! This is how me and Carley like to spend our mornings. I am having my morning glass of milk and Carley is standing watch, making sure no one goes by without me knowing. We like to keep up with the neighborhood doings. Sometimes people and dogs go walking by outside and we have to talk to them...we have to keep a constant watch so we don't miss anybody!!
We still have lots of snow on the ground. Mommy wishes it would all go away, but I love the snow, I just wish it didn't stick to my legs so much when I am ready to come inside.....oops gotta go, Carley says someone is coming by outside...

Happy New Year from Cooper & Carley

2006-12-31T23:43:00.000-08:00

Cooper here, and Carley too. We just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! This is a picture of us at Christmas....we were looking for Santa Claus! Santa was very good to us...he brought us our brothers, Brandt & Chase home for Christmas. Our Mimi also came to visit us for Christmas! And...we got lots and lots of presents! But we had to wear these dumb ole' shirts, that was the bad part! See ya' next year!!

Cooper's Birthday from Carley's Viewpoint

2006-11-28T20:43:00.000-08:00

Carley here. Well, Cooper finally had that birthday he has been yammering on about forever. It wasn't so bad, actually. We both had a curlie this morning before breakfast, then we had eggs, cheese and bacon for breakfast. Then we got a new ball, and a rubber chicken that Cooper thinks he hid under the bed...I took it and hid it somewhere else and I'm not telling Cooper where it is neither!! For dinner time we had our favorite food, Little Ceaser's (we don't get to have that much, but I tell you that stuff is bowl-licking good!!!!) The only thing Cooper got that I didn't was a birthday song, and between me and you, I didn't miss out on much there!!

Cooper's 1st Birthday!!!

2006-11-28T20:34:00.000-08:00

Cooper here. Well, guess what today was? Bet you can't guess....Yep, it was my Birthday!!! I had such a great day!! I started out with a pre-breakfast curlie!! Yummy!!! Then it was breakfast of scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon, double yum!! Daddy had to fix it on the grill outside, cause we had no 'lectricity. I also got a new ball, which Carley immediately stole and a rubber chicken that I hid under the bed from that ole' Carley. Me and Carley also played outside in the snow today. These are our pictures from today in the snow. See the snow-burrs on my legs! For dinner, Mommy and Daddy sang to me and I had Little Ceaser's (that is doggy junk food that Daddy would give me all the time and Mommy only lets me have as a special treat!!) Carley got to have some too, but it's not her birthday and they didn't sing the birthday song to her, just to me!! I like having birthdays...I hope I get to have one every year!!!

Never Seen so much SNOW!!!

2006-11-27T21:37:00.000-08:00

Cooper here. Wow...we have so much snow!! It is so deep that it is taller than me and Carley!! Mommy and Daddy have to watch us or we could fall in, never to be seen again til the thaw...or that is what Mommy says anyhow. All I know is I like it!!! It is so fun, I like to shove my nose down in it and then snort it out. It makes Mommy laugh when I do that every time!! Here is a picture back behind our house and out by the lake. Daddy took the lake one when he was out exploring on the 4-wheeler. Our 'lectricty was out a whooooole day and then came back on for a couple hours..now it is out again. We have a big noisy monster in the garage though that makes our lights come on. I stay away from the garage when that monster is growling, it sounds BIG!!!
Also, you may not know, but tomorrow is my Birthday....I will be one years old!!! I am having a party and you can come if you want to (hint, hint...I like pig's ears if you come)

Luvin' the Snow!!

2006-11-27T10:22:00.000-08:00

Carley here. Me and Cooper have been playing in the snow all morning! It is fun!! He went out in it first and played...I was eating breakfast, but then I went out. We chased and chased each other. Then we come inside and mommy has to blow-dry our legs cause the snow sticks to them. It is going to snow all day today and tomorrow, Mommy says!! Yay!!!!!

Look at THIS!!

2006-11-27T09:13:00.000-08:00

Cooper here. Cooper here in the SNOW!! Whoooo-hoooo!! I am liking this stuff!!! Carley don't though, she stays on the porch...silly ole' girl.
We had a great Thanksgiving, Brandt came to visit me. We had turkey!! I really like turkey, it is good stuff. Oh yeah, I might not have mentioned it...but tomorrow is my BIRTHDAY!! I'm gotta go and see if the snow is still there.....

The Vacuum Game Revisited!!

2006-11-22T11:35:00.000-08:00

Cooper here. Well, we played the vacuum game and it was soooo fun, that we wanted to play it again. It was all mostly Carley's idea...really it was!!!

What Thanksgiving REALLY Is

2006-11-22T10:42:00.000-08:00

Carley here. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Cooper thinks that it is his holiday where everyboy is thankful for him. I'm pretty sure that is not what Thanksgiving is for...I think it is where everybody likes to eat and watch football. Cooper thinks it is for him 'cause Mommy calls him her "Thanksgiving Baby". She just does that 'cause his birthday is around Thanksgiving. I'll just be glad after next Tuesday is over. That Cooper thinks he is so special with his Birthday!! He says it is just his birthday and not mine...I don't care, who needs an ole stinkin' birthday anyway. I wonder if I will ever have a birthday...hmmm...is that what Mommy means when she says I am a Valentine's baby...hmmm...wonder when Valentines is, maybe that is MY BIRTHDAY!! Oh, gotta go...we are going to play the vacuum game, Mommy vacuums, Cooper chases the vacuum and I chase Cooper...we all have lots of fun~!!

Found a Patch of Sun

2006-11-22T10:26:00.000-08:00

Cooper here. Me and Carley found us a patch of sun this morning!! It didn't last long, but we liked it while it was here.
Today is the day before Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is my special holiday where everybody is thankful for me!! Brandt is coming home and we are having a big feast to celebrate how thankful we are for me!! And then, after that, it is MY BIRTHDAY this next TUESDAY!! It is just my birthday too, not Carley's!! I'm gonna have presents and cake. I hope I get lots of cool presents like Curlies, and Pigs Ears and a new ball! I hope I don't get any clothes!
We are going to the airport in the middle of the night to pick up Brandt. I got our special chair all ready to play our video games. I am going to help mommy clean up the house today too, I have to protect her from the vacuum cleaner while she vacuums, that is my special job~gotta go!

Made a Couple Changes...

2006-11-07T23:06:00.000-08:00

Cooper here. Have you noticed that I have been busy...I changed the look of my blog, aren't I a smart puppy? (My mommy helped me just a little bit)! Also, I changed it so that anyone can leave me a message, so I hope to hear from you guys!! PSSSST....my birthday is coming up SOON!!!

The End of the Best Weekend EVER!!

2006-11-06T19:18:00.000-08:00

Carley here. Well, I got to get on the computer cause that ole Cooper is over barking at something that is really nothing, the big dummy!! I had the best weekend, cause I got to see both my big brothers!! Brandt came home specially to meet me. He said I was so smart and good. I showed him how I can fetch the ball and sit and everything and I heard him say that Cooper is spoiled, he didn't say that about me!! Cooper tried to hog Brandt the whole time, but I got some lap time in with Brandt when Cooper wasn't lookin!! I could've gone to the sleepover if I had wanted to...but all that Cooper does is talk about his stinkin' birthday, so I didn't go. This is us after our last trip to the airport, we had such a great Weekend!!!

The BIG and EXCITING Weekend!!

2006-11-06T19:03:00.000-08:00

Hi, Cooper here. Sorry I have been away so long, sometimes I forget to post and sometimes my mommy is a computer hog and she doesn't let me on...oh well. This was the best weekend EVER. Both my brothers came home to visit ME!! Carley has never even met Brandt, so she got to see him. I already told her all about him though. Me and Brandt played lots of video games and one night I even had a sleep-over in Brandt's room...it was boys only though so Carley didn't come to the sleep-over or play the video games. On Sunday we took a walk on this long trail (Carley got to come on that one). We walked and walked and then me and Carley had Chicken Nuggets from McDonalds, YUM!!! Me and Carley went to the airport 4 times this weekend, but it was worth it to see our brothers. Brandt will be coming home again for Thanksgiving (and my birthday) in only a few more weeks. Chase is coming home again this next weekend, but not for Thanksgiving, 'cause he has to work. I need to remind him my birthday is right after Thanksgiving, on the 28th...I will be 1 years old!!!! Here is some pictures of me playing video games with Brandt and of us on our long walk that we took.

Another Great Picture of Us!!

2006-10-02T20:53:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. My mommy likes to get on the computer and talk about me and Carley. One of the nice ladies that mommy talks to made this for my Mommy!! My mommy says Villette is the nicest lady ever!! Villette has yorkies too AND she likes Corvettes!! Me and Carley say thank you Villette for making my mommy so happy!!

Cooper & Carley in Black and White

2006-10-02T19:54:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Mommy has a nice friend who did this picture for her!! We really love it!!

It's Not Easy Being Green!!!

2006-09-28T18:01:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. I have been out with Carley helping Daddy mow the grass and rake it too! I am a good helper to Daddy...Carley helped just a little bit. She didn't help bark at the rake at all though...I did all that by myself. Carley says now we have to have a bath. She is so silly, Daddy wouldn't make me take a bath after all that help I gave him....would he?
Carley here. Cooper is up having a bath. I told him so!! I'm pretty sure I am next, even though my legs aren't quite as green as his.

Road Trip!!!

2006-09-21T14:57:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Me and Carley went on a road trip with Mommy and Daddy!! This is us when we stopped and got gas!! Me and Carley love to go in the car!! We went and saw this pretty blue water, it is called Lake Diablo. We also got to stop and play in the river. Carley jumped right in and went swimming!! Me and her like to roll in the sand. Carley likes sand just as much as me!

Carley Has Pigtails!!

2006-09-21T08:27:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Look at Carley...Mommy gave her pigtails!! Doesn't she look pretty? Later though, I helped Carley get them out and I chewed one of them up for Carley so she don't have to wear them no more!!

I LOVE My Carley!!

2006-09-12T16:42:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Me and Carley had the best day!! First off, my Daddy finally came home! I missed my Daddy so much!! He is the best Dadddy ever!!!! Daddy stayed home with me and Carley all morning, while Mommy was at work. And then, Daddy went to work and Mommy came home with us a new present! She got us some new kind of chewy bones, they are yummy! Here is me and Carley on the couch. Me and Carley played and played today! I am so very glad I told Mommy to get me a sister-baby!! Carley is the best sister EVER!!

Carley here. I sure do love my Cooper. He is teaching me to stand out on the deck and talk to people as they go by. That sure is fun!! Cooper also lets me share his toys and his chair what he likes to sit in. I also met my new Daddy!! Cooper said he was the best Daddy ever and he really is!! My mommy brought me home a present today, too! I love my new house and especially my Cooper!!

My New Sister (Or the Creep That Has Moved In)

2006-09-11T11:17:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Well, guess what Mommy went and got me...yep, a sister-baby. I don't think I asked for one of those, though. Me and Mommy went on Saturday to get her. She cried all the way home, mommy had to put her in the crate for the ride home. She didn't like that much. I sat in Mommy's lap. Her name is Carley. Her name used to be Betsy, but me and Mommy didn't like that name so much, so we call her Carley now, or Mommy does...I call her some other things we won't talk about right now. She is just a little bit younger than me, she is 6 months old. The lady that used to have her just didn't want her anymore, so she came to live with us. On Saturday, I liked her pretty good, we played and played. Here is a picture of me showing her my toy box. I let her play with whatever toy she wanted. Then on Sunday, I thought maybe it was time for her to go back to her old home and today I am thinking she sure is staying here a loooooong time. She is a big ole' lap hog!! She is always in Mommy's lap, but I tell her "Get down!! That is MY MOMMY!!" Mommy makes her get down and gives me hugs and kisses. Carley is also a PIG!! She eats everything!! Mommy knows though that cheese is my special favorite and she makes sure I have a special treat!! Carley tries to get her ole face in there and get my cheese, but mommy don't let her. Yesterday, Mommy gave me a bath...and then she gave Carley a bath too. We also walked down to the lake and mommy told ole Carley she needed to learn to walk on a leash as good as me!! Mommy still tells me I am the best puppy ever...so there you ole Carley!!

Carley here. That Cooper is out on the deck barking (he sure is loud), so I came on here to say I am not a PIG!! I might be a lap hog, just a little bit. I really like my new mommy though and I want to give her lots of kisses and hugs so she don't send me somewhere else to live. Mommy tells me not to worry though, this is my forever home and Cooper won't be jealous for very long. She tells me Cooper is really a sweetheart... that Cooper sure has Mommy fooled!! I am meeting my new Daddy today, Mommy says he is coming home today, he has been in Texas visiting my skinkid brother, Brandt, who I haven't met yet. I am also gonna meet my other skinkid brother Chase, hopefully Mommy says, this next weekend. I hope he doesn't want to sit in Mommy's lap too, cause if he does, it sure it gonna get crowded. Better go...ole' loudmouth is coming..........

Chase is Coming to Visit!!!

2006-09-02T11:19:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Well, Chase is coming home to visit us today!! We are so excited. Here is a picture of Chase a couple of weeks ago when he ran away from home. Well, he didn't really run away, I guess, but he had to move to go to school in California. I thought he had already graduated when he wore the red dress and the flat red hat, but I guess they changed their minds about him being smart enough and are making him go to school more. Or maybe he is so smart he learned all the stuff here in Washington and is going to learn California stuff, I don't know. Anyhow, he is coming to visit today. Me and Mommy and Daddy helped him move to California a couple weeks ago. He lives in a 'partment with three of his friends. He really likes that Marcus and Nick, but there is one name CODE who is being a pain to Chase. Chase says he is messy and doesn't clean up. Mommy says he must be a real slob for Chase to notice!! Chase is having to cook and wash his own clothes! I think Mommy may be a little worried about that! Chase says he will just buy new underwear if all his get dirty. I'm glad furkids don't wear underwear..now if I could just talk Mommy out of all the new shirts she buys for me. I like to be nekkid!!

Mommy Has Too Much Time!!

2006-08-10T21:49:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. My mommy thinks she is funny!!

In the Front Yard!!

2006-08-10T18:08:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Well, look where I am....in the FRONT YARD!! I don't get to come out here all the time...I forget and run after people when they come by...OOPS!! But today I was specially good and I got to hang out here in front. I was so good, I never even went near that bad ole road!! I do try to be good!!

My New Shirt

2006-08-10T18:01:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Here I am taking a nap in my new shirt. Me and daddy were tired. I really got two new shirts, I'll get Mommy to take my picture in the other one another day! I got two new shirts cause Mommy went shopping for my new yorkie buddy, Tiffany. I am doing a yorkie gift exchange and my new buddy is a little tiny girl named Tiffany, she only weighs two pounds. Mommy bought her lots of pretty things and she bought me stuff too...I guess I am Mommy's buddy. Now I am waiting on my package to come from whoever got me as their buddy. I hope I don't get too many more clothes. Just maybe I will get a PIGS EAR!!!Yummm...maybe I will get 2 PIGS EARS!! Double YUMMM!!

Luv the Summer

2006-08-01T12:13:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. I haven't been around for awhile, I have been having a fun summer. I just can't seem to get on the computer, I am so busy. First, I like to sleep late every morning!! Then, I have a little breakfast and lay around out on the deck. Then my mommy waters the flowers and that is when I chase and bite the hose. If my mommy vacuums or sweeps in the house, I also have to chase and bite those. I like to stay out on the deck. To the casual observer it might appear that I am sleeping, but really I am monitoring the birds and squirrels...I have to keep a close eye on them or they get out of hand. On the weekends I am always down at the lake. Me and my mommy and daddy get on the floaties and we float out in the lake. Chase has a new jetski, and I will ride on that sometimes. I am having a great summer!!!

My Monday

2006-07-10T13:30:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Today me and Mommy are cleaning the house and doing laundry. Well, mostly Mommy is doing that....I like to go out on the deck and talk to people as they go by. I also like to walk around and lay on the hot tub cover. I like to spend lots of time out on the deck, lots of good stuff goes on. I better go now, my Mommy might need me to help her fold clothes.

I Have Been Off Boating

2006-07-10T13:04:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Well, sorry I have been away for awhile. The weather here has been sooo nice here, so I have been out on the boat and the jet ski, and just haven't been on the computer much lately. Here are some pictures of what I have been doing.
The jet ski belongs to Chase. He mows a ladies yard and she gave it to him!! I have rided on it two times...I'm still not sure if I like it. My mommy has an island she likes to float on...I float on it with her, not sure if I like that either. I like it best when we ride around the lake. I like to ride on the back of the boat and it makes my mommy nervous, but I tell her "dont' worry Mommy, I can swim!!" I ride on the back and look for all the dogs on the docks, and when I see them I talk to them and say "look at me, look at me!!"

It Was a Beach Kinda Day!!!

2006-06-27T12:39:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Yesterday me and Mommy and Daddy went to the Beach!!! I have never been to this beach before...I have just been to the beach that is all rocky. This beach had lots of lovely, lovely sand!! I got to dig and dig!! I love digging in the sand, I can make it fly up REAL high!! I also like to chase the seagulls! And then me and my daddy were running and I ran right into the water with daddy and it was fun!! I had the best day at the beach ever!! I wish I lived at the beach all the time!!

Spa Day?? I Think NOT!!!

2006-06-22T13:22:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Okay, there is no picture of me today because I have spent it hiding under the bed. Found out what exactly "Spa Day" is... If anyone ever tells you it is spa day, don't be too excited...what it really means is your getting a haircut, your toenails trimmed, your privates shaved (I mean really!!!) and a bath!! If you see any signs of scissors, combs or egads!! razors immediately run under the nearest bed!! Don't let this happen to you!!! You have been warned!!

Here I Am!!!

2006-06-21T11:56:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Not much going on today. Just hanging out, but Mommy says tomorrow is "Spa Day"!! Not sure what that is...but I'm excited!! This is a picture of my brother Chase carrying me around in the blankie. He seems to enjoy it, so I let him do it. Chase is out mowing yards right now, so I am getting a little peace for the moment!!

Father's Day!!

2006-06-18T17:37:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Today is my Daddy's special day! And here is my Daddy with two of his favorite things...me and his boat!! We cruised around the lake and ate cheese nips. We let mommy come too!! Here is a picture of me driving Daddy's boat. We didn't go tubing yet, the water is still too cold...brrrrrr!!

More Pictures of Chase's Graduation!!

2006-06-17T14:19:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Here are some more pictures of Chase's graduation. Nope, I am not in these either!! The first is of Chase and my Daddy. Daddy is wearing Chase's flat hat that he had to wear. Daddy is silly. The other is my mommy and my Mimi and my Grandma and Chase looking at Chase's diploma. That is the piece of paper that says Chase is all trained and never has to go to that school anymore, 'cause he learned all his tricks and stuff. I know all about school and stuff, 'cause I went to one before. I am pretty sure I didn't get a diploma though...hmm wonder if that means I have to go back and wear a flat hat...I am going to go ask Mommy....

Chase Graduated

2006-06-17T14:10:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Well, my brother Chase is all graduated!! Here is a picture of him and my mommy and daddy. If you are playing find the Cooper...don't bother...for some reason I wasn't invited. Must of have been one of those skinkid only kinda things. They must have all kinds of funny rules at those graduating things, cause they made Chase wear a red dress and a flat hat!! I am not too upset though, because everyone is so happy and proud of Chase, so I am too. Plus, all my grandparents came to see me, and so they were able to see Chase graduate too!!

Chase Breaks the Rules!!

2006-06-07T14:52:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Chase just got home from school. He is almost graduated though, just one more day of school for him. Every day Chase comes home wearing his hat...he knows I don't allow baseball caps on in the house. ALL Baseball Caps must be taken off!!!!

Chase's Awards Night

2006-06-07T14:47:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. This is my brother Chase going to his awards night. My mommy and daddy and me are so proud of him...he got collarships (or something like that). He and mommy went to his school to get his awards, but I didn't go...they said no furkids could come, just the skinkids. When he got home, I didn't see any new collars anywhere...he must've already took 'em off.

My New Best Friend

2006-06-06T16:07:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. This is me in Dripping Springs with my new Best Friend!! This is Kathy and David. I love both of them, but I especially love David. I had met them before, they are Gunner's Mommy and Daddy...remember he is the show-off that knows all those tricks. Anyway they came to Dripping Springs to visit us. I like to sit in David's lap every chance I get. When it was time to go to bed, David says to me, "Goodnight, grouchy-butt". Mommy thought that was sooo funny, but I know Dave really does like me, he just tries to pretend he doesn't. Dave is my new best friend!!

I am Back Home

2006-06-06T14:58:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Well, I am back home finally!! I have been very busy. First, I started out my trip riding in an airplane again. I have decided that I don't like airplances very much. I much prefer riding in cars, I sleep really good riding in cars...I don't sleep at all on airplanes, but I think Mommy wishes I would. Then, I got to go to our other house in Dripping Springs. I got to meet Honey and Jake, they don't wear cowboy hats...I didn't wear mine either. I am still not too sure about Honey and Jake, they like my Daddy way too much. I had to let them know right away that was MY Daddy!! Jake seemed to understand, but Honey didn't like me too much I don't think. We will have to get more used to each other when I move there for all the time. This is me resting on the new table my Daddy got. It is really big and I like to get up there and see what is going on. This is me and my Daddy and Brandt (my Daddy is the one wearing the cowboy hat). My mommy didn't take any pictures of me and Honey and Jake. She tried to, but we told her that wasn't going to happen!! She said maybe next time. We'll see.

Today the Sun Finally Came Out!!

2006-05-30T21:42:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Well, today, FINALLY the sun came out!! I was so glad and so was everyone else. This is me outside enjoying the sunshine. I was really liking it too, but then Mommy and Brandt wanted to go SHOPPING!! I stayed home. They weren't going to any of the good stores that I like to go to. They just bought stuff like clothes and shoes and purses and I don't need of that stuff, especially clothes..I have too many of those awful things already!! But then, Mommy and Brandt and Daddy and Chase all came home (yippeee) and we went out in the boat. Chase went on the wakeboard and he is very good too. Brandt said it was too cold and he didn't go. I didn't go either, if it was too cold for Brandt, I am sure it was too cold for me too. Tomorrow Daddy is leaving again. He has to go to Texas AGAIN!! I was sad, but then Mommy said that me and her and Brandt are going the next day after that, so I guess I will be riding on an airplane again!! Mommy says on Friday I am going to go to Dripping Springs where our other house is and that I am going to meet Jake and Honey. Daddy says Jake is a really good dog and that I could learn a thing or two from him..not sure what he means by that though. I wonder if Jake and Honey wear cowboy hats??

Memorial Day

2006-05-29T13:03:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Today is Memorial Day!! My Daddy had the day off, but Chase didn't. He had to go wear his orange apron. He mixes paint. My mommy doesn't wear an orange apron anymore...she stays home with me!! Today to celebrate the day, I had a bath. I am pretty sure that is not what Memorial Day is for, but that is how I celebrated. Mommy says we will go out in the boat later though, and cookout too. She is hoping the sun will come out sometime this weekend, but so far it hasn't. This is me outside looking for the sun...I didn't find it yet. (sigh)

Me & Brandt Taking a Nap

2006-05-28T17:05:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Today it rained ALL day. Me and Brandt decided to take a nap, 'cause we were tired of reading. We are also tired of the RAIN!!!

Me and Brandt Hanging Out

2006-05-28T13:23:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. My brother Brandt is home for a little bit before he has to go and work at the telesope place. He came home with my Daddy after he got all finished with his school. Brandt tells my Mommy that I am "spoiled". But I am pretty sure that he really does like me a whole lot. Maybe Brandt is just a little bit jealous, that is what Mommy says anyway.

I Got Some Presents!!

2006-05-28T13:16:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Look at my new stuff that I just got. Daddy brought me back a cowboy hat from Texas. And then Mommy got me a Longhorn jersey so that I will be all ready for football season this fall. Mommy is hoping I will be a for-real Texas baby really, really soon!! But I can tell ya...even if I do move to Texas, I am NOT wearing that hat all the time!!

My Evil Dog Look

2006-05-18T22:30:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. This is my "Get out of MY FACE with that CAMERA" look!! Who says I'm not tough????

Bacon & Eggs

2006-05-17T09:41:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Well, I had to get up really early this morning and take Daddy to the airport. Mommy went too. That Daddy is always going off somewhere!! This time it is not for work, though, he is taking a vacation. He is going to Texas to hang out with his friends. Mommy says that Daddy will have lots of fun, but that he will miss me too. She said when he comes back he will bring my brother Brandt back with him!! We are very excited about that!! When we got back from the airport, Mommy fixed me bacon and eggs. This is me eating them. They were YUMMY!!

More Catching Up!!

2006-05-16T10:56:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. I wanted to finish telling you what I have been doing. Yesterday I went to work with Daddy again. He has been very, very busy and needed me to come in and help again. First, we dropped Mommy off at her work. Then off me and daddy went to the airplane place. This is a picture of me with some of the guys I work with. The first guy is Mike...I like to hang out over at his desk. I think he has Cheetos hidden in one of his drawers, but he won't give me any!!! The next guy is Sam. He is the one who helped me and Mommy out when we flew to Dallas. Then there is Daddy of course and then that is Jay. Jay is the one that has the smelly shoes. I really like to smell of Jay's shoes. That is Buddy the Fish in the middle there. He isn't really alot of help at work though, not like me anyway. I will have to get a picture of the rest of my work friends the next time I go in. Then at lunch time, me and daddy went over and had lunch with Mommy. I had a hamburger for lunch. Well, I need to go and help Mommy plant some flowers. Bye for now.

Got Some Catching Up to Do

2006-05-16T10:46:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Well, I got some catching up to do. It's hard for me to find time to get to the computer sometimes. So anyway, on Sunday it was Mommy's Day. This is me and my brother Chase with her Mommy's Day cards. My Daddy helped me make mommy a card because I love her soooo much. Daddy helped me sign it with my paw prints. But then after that my paws were all purply and I had to lick them and lick them...but my Mommy is worth it!!! Chase also got my mommy a big plant with flowers all over it. She called it a ..."matis" or something and she really likes it alot. Today, Mommy and me are going to plant it in her flower beds. I am going to help her!! Daddy cooked Mommy a special dinner too for Mommy's Day. He made her favorite.. Steak! I like steak too !! Chase made her a salad, but I didn't share that part. Then Daddy and Chase and me even cleaned up the kitchen. Mommy said she had a great day and we are her "best boys ever!!"

Working With Daddy

2006-05-12T12:31:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Yesterday I went to work with my Daddy. The first picture is me at my desk. Well, under my Daddy's desk...I was taking a small break from working so hard. The last picture is of me and Daddy fixing lunch!! Everybody there works so hard and I go around and help them out!! Ater me and Daddy got off work we went by my Mommy's work to visit her. I also got to visit Chase, who works at the same place as Mommy. Mommy and Chase both wear orange aprons at work, Mommy's apron is more dirty though, so I think she must work harder than Chase. Mommy says that she is only going to work for two more weeks and then she is going to stay home with Cooper ALL the time. Yippee!!!!!!!!!

My Feet Smell Like Fritos!!

2006-05-10T19:10:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Today was not a good day. My mommy and daddy both had to work and Chase had to go to school and then Chase has a new job at Home Depot and he had to go there after school to work. So I had to stay by myself alllllll day. When I stay by myself all day I like to drag out all my toys and all the shoes I can find and also I like to chew on toilet paper and make it into little tiny pieces. That is how I keep myself amused until Mommy gets home. But then FINALLY Mommy came home and we played outside. Mommy is so silly though, she like to pick me up all the time and kiss on me. She smells my feet and says they smell like Fritos. She thinks that is so funny, and she told Daddy and he said my feet smell like Fritos too. I wonder what Fritos are, anyway????

My New Shirt...

2006-05-08T16:39:00.000-07:00

Cooper here, back from my nap. Here is me in my new shirt Mommy got me. She says I am the cutest thing ever...I am not so sure if it is me, what do you think???

Cooper is BACK!!

2006-05-08T12:48:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Well, here is a picture of me at my Mimi's. I had a good time there and I was the best puppy ever too!! I know that I was , cause my mommy said so!! After I got to Texas, then the next day my Daddy came!! I was sooo happy to see him, I really missed my Daddy when he was in Alabama. Then, the next day after that my brother Brandt came to Mimi's house too!! Then we went to visit my mommy and daddy's friends. They are named Dave and Kathy. They have the biggest dog I have ever seen and his name was Gunner. I was just a little bit scared of him right at first, (not very much tho) and I stayed right with my mommy and daddy. I got to go in Gunner's kitchen where he is not allowed. I don't think he liked that. Then, Kathy came out with a cat named Oreo. That cat was pretty big too, bigger than me anyways. He was really very friendly, but I just wasn't too sure of him. Then later we were all in the living room together and that big dog Gunner, just started to show off. He would sit and stay and back up and catch treats in the air. Everybody said what a "Good Dog" he was and started throwing him treats. I thought he was just a big old show off and I finally couldn't stand it anymore and I just told him so!! I barked and barked at him, that big ole show off!!! Well, I will come back and write more later, I think I need to take a nap now.

Tomorrow I Go A' Flying!!!

2006-04-26T20:27:00.000-07:00

Hi, Cooper here. Well, today was one looooong day!! My daddy is still gone to that ole' Alabama (whatever that is) and my mommy had to work allllllllll day. It was soooo long until she came home. I was so happy when I heard the garage door go up, cause I know that means my mommy is home!! I was so happy that I peed a little bit (oops!) Then, right after that my brother Chase came home. He took me in the back yard and we ran and ran and I chased the pink ball all over. Then me and Chase came in and Mommy wanted to know why my legs were all green....I played in the grass that was just mowed!! Mommy said "OH, Chase!!" Ha, Ha, I get that Chase into trouble all the time!! But then, I couldn't believe it...I got another bath. I think Chase should have had to have a bath too, but he didn't. Then his friend Darren came over and I barked and chewed on him. Darren used to call me a kitty cat, said I was too small to be a dog...but I think he really does like me, cause he visits me all the time. Mommy says tomorrow I get to fly on an airplane and go visit my Mimi. I am not real sure who MiMi is, but she must be special, cause everyone keeps talking about visiting MiMi, and even my other brother Brandt, who goes to college is going to visit MiMi too while me and Mommy are there. I just hope MiMi has cheese and scrambled eggs at her house, cause I really like those...maybe she might even have a few pig ears!!

Daddy is in Alabama

2006-04-24T20:29:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Well, it was getting really late and my Daddy still hadn't come home. I looked and looked for him!! Then Mommy said he went to Alabama to work!!! Mommy said Daddy would be gone all the way until Friday!! Mommy told me I won't get to see Daddy for a whole week, until next Monday, because me and her are going to Texas on Thursday to see MiMi. That will be fun, but I miss my daddy...think I will go chew on his socks for awhile.....

The Busy Weekend

2006-04-24T19:59:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Well, it was another busy weekend!! On Saturday, me and my daddy went out in the shiny red car. This time Daddy took the top off and we rode around and the wind blowed all inside. It was cool!!! We were riding around and then, I couldn't believe it...Daddy went to that BAD PLACE again!! We didn't see the bad haircut lady though, we saw that nice lady that likes to look at me all over. I decided that this time I would let her look at me really good, so maybe she would get tired of looking at me and we won't have to go there anymore!! Daddy said I got a "Rabies Shot", but I really only just got a dog bone treat...I think maybe Daddy was confused. I also got a shiny new tag, so now I have two tags...I like the red one best that says "Cooper" on it with a bunch of numbers. Then we got back in the car and drove really fast again. Later, after Mommy came home from work, we had company come over. I got to see Harold and Laurie again and then I met a new friend Sam. We all watched Nascar races and I ran around and sat in everyone's lap. It was lots of fun!! Mommy says Harold and Laurie are moving to Alabama...I don't know why they want to do that for. The next day on Sunday, me and daddy went out in the boat. Mommy had to work again. I think she should not work so much, she misses all the fun stuff!!! Me and Daddy went out into the middle of the lake... then we stopped and I was walking around and all of the sudden I was SWIMMING in the lake!! I am pretty sure I was PUSHED!!! I was soooo scared, but then Daddy got me out and dried me off. He said I was a very good swimmer, though. He called Mommy and told her I FELL off the boat. I don't think she was very happy about me swimming in the lake...and neither was I....I like swimming about as much as I like baths. When Mommy got home we went out in the boat again...but I stayed right in Mommy's lap, I wasn't taking any chances this time. Then, we came back home and I was so tired and ready to go to bed, but Daddy gave me a BATH again!! He said it was because I went swimming in the lake. I still love my Daddy though...wonder where he is....he hasn't come home from work yet and I MISS him!!!

My Daddy is Sick....

2006-04-19T18:46:00.000-07:00

Hi, Cooper here. Yesterday and today my Daddy stayed home from work 'cause he is sick. I don't like my daddy to be sick, but I do like for him to stay at home with me. I have been helping him though....He has been staying in bed because he don't feel good, so I stay there with him. When my daddy goes to sleep, I keep watch for him and bark anytime I hear something...I don't want anything to sneak up on my daddy while he is sleeping and not feeling good. I bark very loud too, so daddy wakes up and knows that I am keeping watch!! When Daddy wakes up he says, "Cooper, you are the Best Dog Ever"... or I think that is what he is saying....I am still barking loud so I don't quite hear everything, but I am sure that is what he is saying!! On Sunday the Easter Bunny came to visit me!!. I didn't actually see that bunny, but he did leave me a basket by the front door. I didn't like that basket too much, I barked at it. Mommy took all my stuff out and put that ole' basket away, she laughed and said I was a "silly bug", but I didn't like the looks of that basket at all!! I got a ducky to chew on, but sometimes he quacks at me.....don't think I like THAT either!! I did find out this weekend though, that I DO like scrambled eggs!! Yumm!!

Cooper Out in the Sun!!

2006-04-17T21:29:00.000-07:00

Here is another pic of me enjoying the sunshine and the pansies, I love the sunshine!!! (and I enjoy sniffing the pansies, but they don't taste too good!!)

A Little Bit of Sunshine, But Not Much!!

2006-04-15T15:05:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. This is a really good day. My big brother came home from college last night!! My mommy and daddy are sooooo happy when Brandt comes home!! I like him to come home too, but I think my mommy and daddy must miss him alot, cause they were so excited he was coming to visit. He brought his girlfriend Sarah with him too, she is especially nice. When Brandt comes home, Mommy makes him special food that he likes....I hope it is all stuff I like too, cause Mommy usually gives me some of what they have...hope he doesn't just like chocolate or bananas 'cause I don't like that too much. Also this morning the sun came out for just a little while. I was outside enjoying it, it was so nice and felt sooooo good. I liked it so much that I wouldn't even come in when mommy told me too. She didn't get mad though, she just went and got the camera and took more pictures of me. Mommy likes to take pictures of me, she has that camera pointed at me ALL the time. Sometimes I will smile for her, but sometimes I turn around and she gets pictures of my bottom....I think that is funny!! Today, though, I let her take some of me. Here is my favorite one.

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

2006-04-14T11:20:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Haven't had lots of times to post lately, I lead SUCH a busy life!! First off, yesterday I went to work with my Daddy!!!! Daddy is very busy too, he works on Airplanes and of course he needed my help. We went to work very early in the morning and I was still very sleepy. I went around and checked it all out and made sure everybody was working very hard, and of course they were. There is one guy there, his name is Jay, and he has very smelly shoes. They had so many smells to smell it made me pee on the carpet, OOPS!! My daddy also has a big desk and after I worked so hard checking it all out, I took a nap under Daddy's desk. Then mommy came to Daddy's work...I thought she was going to work too, but she said Cooper had worked enough for one day and took me home. She was right, I was very tired from working so hard, but I think I will need to go back and help Daddy again very soon. After I had been home for awhile and played and eaten lunch, Mommy said "Let's go!!" We went and got in the shiny red car and off we went. Then mommy pulled up to the BAD Place!! Cooper doesn't like it there...last time I went a mean lady cut off all my hair!!! Mommy said we were not going to see the mean lady who cuts hair, we were going to see the nice lady that looks all over at me. She is very nice, but she likes to look in my ears and in my mouth and I don't really like that kind of attention. She has also poked me before with something sharp and I don't like that either. But in we went anyway...Mommy said I had to be a brave boy, because it keeps me from getting sick. I didn't like this visit either and I hope we NEVER, EVER go back there again. I would much rather help Daddy at work. Today was bath day again, here is me after my bath when I do my crazy run around the house, ZOOM, ZOOM!!!!

Saturday is Bath Day....EWWWWWW

2006-04-08T18:22:00.000-07:00

Cooper here. Well, today is Saturday and that is pretty good, cause me and mommy and daddy all sleep late. Then we lay around for a while while I get kisses and hugs. I like to sleep late and I really like it when mommy and daddy don't leave me here by myself!! But then....on Saturdays, I have to have the dreaded bath. Not a big fan of the bath, I have to say. Luckily it doesn't last long and then mommy comes gets me with a nice warm towel. She rubs on me and kisses me. Then I get down and race all around the house like mad. I run around and around the coffee table and jump up and down off the couches and race around til I am soooo tired. Then mommy brushes me and I am all soft and fluffy. I like to feel clean, I just don't like how the getting clean happens!! Maybe next Saturday daddy will forget to give me a bath!!
Today was a rainy day. I like it better when it is all sunny and we play outside. But it rained all day long and me and daddy were lazy on the couch.

Daddy and Pig Skins

2006-04-05T21:12:00.000-07:00

Hello. Today was a really good day. First, Mommy came home from work and we played and ate lunch. Then I let mommy take a nap because she was really tired. I wasn't tired but kept mommy company and took a nap too. Mommy says I am a really good boy for letting her take a nap. After I thought mommy has slept enough I gave her kisses til she woked up. We went outside to play some more and wait for daddy to get home from work. Mommy tossed my ball to me and I brought it back 2 whole times. She tossed it about 20 times, but I decided to bring it back only 2 times. Mommy still says I am a clever boy!!!
Then Daddy came home in his big black truck that is loud!! I was soooo happy to see my Daddy. Mommy told Daddy about me getting the ball two times and Daddy wanted to see, but I decided I had done that enough for one day. Then Daddy's friend Matt came over. His fingers taste good and his shoes smell good. I like Matt. Daddy gave me some pig skins, they are not like pig's ears, not as good, but they are still pretty good. Mommy didn't like that and she told Daddy "No, No". When mommy tells me "no, no" then she kisses me and tells me I am a good boy after. I notice she didn't do that with Daddy. Hmmmm, maybe Daddy is not a good boy. I hope I get those pig skins again though, they were pretty good.

Spring Break and the Tooth Fairy

2006-04-03T19:10:00.000-07:00

Today I realized Chase is not here...looked for him this morning in his bed....nope, he wasn't there. Daddy says Chase is on "Spring Break" in Texas and will be home in a week. I think Mommy and Daddy miss him, and so do I, so maybe spring will break faster and he can come home quicker. I hope so.

Also today I lost my first tooth!!! Mommy says maybe the dog tooth fairy will come visit me since I am such a good boy. She says maybe the dog tooth fairy will bring me a pig's ear...YUMMMMM!!! Maybe I can chew on the stick of her wand too....hmmm, maybe if I bark at her she will drop some extra pig's ears..............but maybe she might not come, because I am not really that good of a boy. Today I chewed up Brandt's controller wire on his Play Station, Daddy says Brandt will be mad. Maybe nobody has to tell Brandt or the Toothfairy......I really would like to get some new pigs ears!!!!

My Brother Brandt

2006-04-02T19:28:00.000-07:00

This is my other brother, Brandt and his girlfriend Sarah. They go to The University of Texas because they are both very, very smart.

My Mommy and Daddy

2006-04-02T17:47:00.000-07:00

This is my mommy and daddy. They are standing in front of the UT tower after the Longhorns won the National Championship. Hook'Em Horns!!

2006-04-02T16:47:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I get very, very sleepy.....

2006-04-02T16:26:00.000-07:00

This is me with my new scarf. Daddy says I look like a wuss in it, Mommy says I am the cutest thing ever...guess who I agree with. REAL MEN can wear baby blue scarfs and get away with it.

My Brother Chase and Me

2006-04-02T15:21:00.000-07:00

This is me with my brother Chase. I really like him alot, but he comes in late sometimes and wakes me up. I bark when I am woken up, and then mommy gets grouchy with Chase. (I think it is funny to get Chase in trouble!!!)

2006-04-02T14:55:00.000-07:00
