Cooper in Portland with Mum

This is me, Cooper, in Portland with Mum. This is shortly after I pee'd all over the door in the office. It was just a little surprise I thought I would leave for Mum and my Aunt DeeDee.

These are some of the "flying saucer" squashes Aunt Dee Dee had in her garden.

Aren't these wonderful? Almost too good to eat!

Still Raining, I See No Reason to Change My Position

Like my death eye? Pretty cool, huh?

More Rain and Cold Coming - Let's Go Back To Bed

I've crossed my paws that the sun comes out again.

I keep listening for the sunshine to arrive.

But it is so tiring waiting...I'll just take a little nap and check later.

I can't talk right now. It is time for my nightly rub down.
I went to the vet school today and had my stitches out. But they discovered I had been licking part of my wound. So I have to keep my collar on for ANOTHER WEEK!  And they weighed me. I gained half a pound. I guess my diet is not working so well. Not my fault. I don't have opposable thumbs so I am not opening cans of fud.

So I am going to snuggle with Dad until I get over my pout.

And oh, by the way. I checked the mail today. There was no mini-meatloaf. (big sigh)

Bassets Need Our Help: Notes from Cooper

No wonder bassets have such long ears - look at this picture! Apparently they wash them and then stretch them out so that they get longer and longer.

The Basset Rescue at Daphneyland needs help. They are behind on their bills and are taking care of bassets that have been surrendered, forgotten or discarded. Mum read about them in Yahoo News (you can read the story here) These are such tough economic times - I told Mum to take my November toy money and send it to the Rescue. Dozer said he wasn't saving anyone but himself but Dottie said she wanted to donate her treat money. Finally after Mum gave Dozer "the look" he caved in and donated his toy money too. Maybe you have a spare dollar or two that you can send along to these nice folks (click here)

Here are some more pictures

Look at this guy with his wheelchair - you go big guy!

How could we not send our toy and treat money to someone like this?

Come and get it!

Oh, this is the one that did it - basset love!
