This picture has nothing to do with this blog entry but we thought it might make Dozer feel better since he has this need for attention.
Mum did a search on Google for "dozerandcoop" and found that our blog was rated 4th on Networked Blogs (which we have never heard of before). Being the self-centered, but highly lovable corgi that I am, I would like to thank all the little people who voted for my blog. Apparently we only got one vote so that should be proof to one and all that your vote does count! Mum says I am so off the wall this morning that she doesn't even want to try and rein me in. Go figure!
Dad took this picture of Dottie. He had to check to make sure she was alive. He thought maybe this was what a dead dog looked like.Anyway, as I have said before and I will say again, doesn't Dottie look like a pig? Come on, you know she does, you just don't want to say it out loud. Look at those front legs..tell me they don't look like little pig legs. Come on, you know they do!
Mum is giving me that "look" again. So much for total honesty in my blog. Let's all pretend we're the normal nuclear family why don't we? Okay, now Mum is really giving me the "look" and pointing the "finger" towards bed. (whispers) Dottie is a piggy, Dottie is a piggy!
Night, Dozer Dog
Mum cracked up over this one..probably reminds her of the toilet paper incident.
Been there, done that.
Take note Dozer...enough said!
First, Cooper and I leave the house and check our mailbox. I usually have a few notes and then
I leave some replies, as well as sending off letters of my own (I have a lot of girl friends).
Once we have taken care of our mailbox, we head down to the post office to check for packages and notes on the boards.
Hmmm, Ruby left a nice note about the weather. Said she went camping this weekend but is glad to be back.
Here we are at the post office checking for packages and more mail. Cooper usually gets one or two notes but he doesn't share who they are from. I don't think they are from girlfriends, he is a member of the Pee of the Month Club and I think these are his samples in case he wants to order more.
Now we go to the main counter and leave our mail that we have done at home for our friends. We check for anything new and then move along so others can make their way to the counter.
Cooper always likes to check out the bullentin board for news items. Not much today with the recent rain but sounds like there is a pug down the street looking for some party animals this weekend.
Always like to check our old mailbox in case of mail from folks who are using the old address. Nothing today.
Cooper never believes me when I say I have checked the mail. He always has to check for himself.
Here's Cooper leaving some notes on the Community Mailbox. Again, he never tells me what it is about. I think he just likes to be mysterious.
Because Dottie is blind she goes out for her mail with just Mum. That way she can take her time and dawdle if she likes. She has many famous friends from her days in the show ring and gets all sort of invites to shows and meetings of retired show dogs.
Check out Dottie's tail. She uses it to check for mail. Says she can tell by the wind if there is new mail or if she has already read it.
Here's a good one of Dottie reading her newsletter from Cardigans Crossword of the Day. I have no idea why she likes doing the puzzles but she does.
Mum said she will dig out my pictures that were taken by the professional photographer so you can see how handsome I am on camera. The flash did not even bother me. I am a natural born model. Mum says I am a natural born ham, but we all know Dottie is the piggie in the family.
chip either… Based on his smell and filthy fur we believe he has been outside for a least a couple days.
Under questioning Dozer looked into the bright overhead light, sweating slightly.
Conferring with his attorney during the questioning.
Providing alibis, none of which were believed.
Dozing off during questioning.
This is my first movie and I believe I may have found a talent not yet mined to its fullest. Nay, it may be that Oscar night my name will be called for Best Canine Film. Of course I will not forget the little people (Dottie, Cooper, Mum).
The premise for this film is a moment of spring in an otherwise damp, grey Oregon winter. I play the hero so I get the most shots, Dottie is the heroine so she got the opening, and Cooper is the comic relief so he gets plugged in wherever. (I noticed he was laughing during my big moment where I stand on the deck and look northwards, sheesh!)
I wanted to use the Hamster March for the soundtrack but it was a little bit too bouncy and it made me hungry for snackies.
I need an appointment at the grooming palace. Mum let my hair grow this winter and now I look like a bear that just came out of hibernation. But it is soft hair if that counts. Mum says it does.
Happy Valentine's Day to all our bloggy friends!
These are some of the collars. Cooper wants the one with the eggs which seems a little strange to me but I think he is still in Easter mode. I saw one with a pirate motif but Mum nixed that one - she said I am not playing pirate and making Coop and Dottie walk the plank for my own amusement.
So this is my shameless advertising of Aunt Laura's handmade collars. The sad news is that they really only fit small dogs like chihuahuas so they aren't meant for relentlessly huge dogs like Mango. But if you want to stop by I had Mum hyperlink the pictures and the title (I told you I was shameless).
We got a neat note from our pal Totally Timmy. So we visited his blog and that was the beginning of all the trouble. See Timmy's mother wrote this post with all these neat colorful pictures of bunnies and sheep. And that wouldn't be do bad, but these were really cute sheep (from Timmy) and wabbits (from Maisey).
This is me with the ladies (they love me). Yup, it's cheese-in-a-can time while Dr. B checks out my knee. If I had opposable thumbs I could empty that can in a New York minute. So forty dollars later Mum has piece of mind and I have a tummy full of cheese. Mum says it is the most expensive cheese she has ever bought. I say I am worth it! BOL!
