Minty Fresh

I found a big patch of wild mint and rolled in it.

I now smell minty fresh.

Unfortunately, my humans are unappreciative of the efforts I go through to keep up a strong smell. The simply note that my fur feels odd.

On the bright side, my human's lack of appreciation of a fine smell means that I get to go for a swim at the dog park!!!

Woof, Woof and away!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Fathers Day.

I never knew my pa.

That's the way it is with us dogs.

My ma said pa was really good at jumping over fences.

Fence jumping is one of those attributes that us dogs prize most. The first dog instructed the humans to construct tall fences so that us dogs could evolve strong fence jumping skills.

With each generation, us dogs get better and better at fence jumping.

Good fence jumping skills are what a dog needs to breed.

We also need really big cute looking eyes so that we can convince humans to feed us after breeding ... but that's a different post.

Like my pa, I am really good at fence jumping. I made it out of yard with a 8 foot high fence (with a 6 foot high gate).

Anyway, I thought I'd stand on the porch and give a bark out to pa ... if you are within barking distance.

Love Coco.

Picture Perfect Scene

There was a picture perfect scene outside the window of finches in a flowering garden.

Sorry about the lack of a photo. I sent my human off to get the camera to take the photo, but something scared the birds off before he had the camera set up.

I am not sure what would have scared them.

All I know is that my human needs to get faster at setting up the camera if he wants to take pictures.

In my day, I've come across quite a few wildlife scenes that would make great pictures.

Something keeps scaring the wildlife off.

I am not sure what that something is.

My name is Coco. I am a dog.

Traveling North

Sorry about the lack of posts. I've been traveling.

I am currently shacked up in an estate adjacent to the river in Salmon, Idaho.

This morning I rolled in a cow paddy.

I've been eyeing the Salmon River and hope to jump in it later on today.

Healthwise, my rear paw has been heeling up nicely, and I am very happy to be rid of the big yellow clublike bandage on my foot.

Nature Abhors a Vacuum

In my film debut, I put together a short performance piece titled: "Nature Abhors a Vacuum." I play the role of nature. The vacuum is animated by my lead human Gin.



I admit, I was really worried that I might forget my lines. I practice everytime my humans do the cleaning.

Flat Tire

I visited the vet. Sure enough, I am one toe nail short.

Once again, the vet stuck her finger in my rear end. She stuck me with two needles. Stuffed a pill down my throat, and then wrapped my rear paw in a big yellow bandage. What a crazy way to make a living!

Here are post vet photos: (Click to see images at 1024px x 640px resolution)

Broke a Nail

I broke a nail and it's thrown my whole game off.

I made an appointment with the vet. I had been wanting to get some heartworm medicine for the summer so that I can join in all the butt sniffing fun with the other dogs.
