Just Being a Dog

Sorry about the lack of posts. I've just been out doing dog stuff.

I am doing dog stuff 168 dog hours a day, and 49 dog days a week.

That's a lot of work.

Too Many Kitties in the City

I have the following jingle from No More Homeless Pets stuck in my brain.

I, Coco the Dog, agree entirely with the video below emphasizing the importance of spaying or neutering your cat:

Does That Doggie Ever Stop?

People ask: "Does that doggie ever stop?"

To which I reply: "It's hard to stop for a pause when you're standing on paws!"

Under a Christmas Tree

The picture above shows me playing with my friend Alice under a Christmas Tree in the Wasatch Mountains.

Yep, it's snowing. But, as a ruff and tumble doggie, I've learned to shake off the snow. (Note, I compressed the shot to fit in the margins. Click on it to see the full picture.)

My favorite picture from this set is of a small snow covered Christmas Tree.

My human likes a picture of a snow covered Mountain Mahogany. Go figure?

Contract Signed with a Handshake

As a doggie traditionalist, I believe in honoring contracts sealed with a firm handshake.

When I first learned to sit and shake. We were infact agreeing to a contract in which the doggie would get seven snoutfuls of kibbles a day (interchangeable with an occasional slice of bison) and three walks a day.

I am deeply troubled to report that this doggie does not (I repeat) this doggie does not get all the walks and all the kibbles that she desires.

I only get three bowls of kibbles a day, and often only one walk. I repeat that. I often only get one walk.

This is unacceptable.

My name is Coco. I've lived up to my side of the contract. Human, now it is time for you to live up to yours!

Dear Sandy Paws

Dear Sandy Paws,

I've been a good doggie for these last seven dog years. I've barked at the things that need barking at and chased the things needing chased.

For Christmas I would like a puppy. I promise to share my food and water bowl with the puppy (assuming my humans start putting more kibbles in the bowl).

For the pack ... I would like a buffalo. I've always dreamed of the pack taking down a buffalo in the wild.

Yours truly,

Coco, the dog.

Pet Projects

My Human was all excited about this teaparty thing going on in politics, and even applauded the election of a few teaparty candidates.

I've learned that whenever the humans get excited about something, the doggies better watch out.

Anyway, the scuttlebut is that these teaparty candidates want to stop funding the pet projects of elected officials to save taxpayers money.

I happen to be a pet, and I like the idea of spending money on pet projects.

I am not one of those taxpayer thingies that my human likes so much.

So, I don't like what I am hearing about taking away from pet projects and giving the money back to these taxpayers.

I am almost to the point of saying the dogs should demand the right to vote.

Of course, voting is human work and us dogs don't stoop to human work.
