Walking in the rain...

We went for a walk tonight with Mum. It was raining because it is fall in Oregon and it always rains during autumn. We wore our vests and Mum let us run in the puddles and we even walked over the soccer fields and checked out all the bushes and trees. When we came home there were towels pulled down, a fire started in the family room and then it was time for me to nap. ~ Coop

I am limping a bit tonight, I might have gotten too excited when Mum got home tonight and jumped around more than I should have. I am resting on the bed and thinking good thoughts, mostly about treats and the serious lack of treats in my life.

We had a good walk and I like the rain. It makes mud which I track into the house. I am very good at tracking (Mum rolls her eyes). ~ Dozer

Cooper Fell Asleep Again! - Dozer

Once again Cooper has been a big disappointment in our packing for Texas. I was just pulling out our cowboy hats and suitcases and then I noticed he was gone. He went into Mum's office and fell asleep in front of the electric fire. Mango is right, Cooper is like one giganormous jello monster that expands, especially in front of a fire. Mum had to turn it off because Coop's fur got so hot she thought he would catch fire.

Sleepy Sunday - Notes from Cooper

Yup, it's another grey, foggy and crisp day in Oregon, so it must be Sleepy Sunday. Mum took a three mile walk this morning with her walking group but she does that at 6am in the morning and that is too early for Dozer and me. We like breakfast and a little nap. Besides Mum said it was really icy outside and with Dozer's leg Mum won't let him go skating. Here are our pictures from this morning of our current state. We will be taking walkies this afternoon to the park to see if the creek has gone over its banks again - a lot of rain in the last week and now cold temperatures! Dozer is right under Mum's feet so she cannot move without him knowing it. He has control issues I think.
Dottie started out in my bed...

...but eventually gravity took over and she kissed the floor.

I am parked in front of the electric fire so that all the warm air has to go through me before it hits the rest of the room. Mum says my butt is going to burst into flames if I stay in front of the fire much longer, but she'll have to wake me if that happens, yawn... ~ Coop

Snowy Friday! - Dozer

It rained yesterday and then snowed all night so we have about 2 inches of snow on top of ice. Mum was sliding all over the deck this morning. (Can you imagine how embarrassing it would have been if she had fallen and we had to call 911? "Hello 911? Yes, can you send someone to come get our Mother who fell on our deck and is wearing flannel, plaid pajama bottoms and a red turtleneck. She has rubber clogs on and her hair defies description. We'll be out hiding in the yard so no one will know we are related to her." She should get a ticket from the Fashion Police!)

 

Mum caught me in mid-roll on Da's lap last night. 

These are very difficult to do and still keep an eye on the television.

Coop is camped out in front of the gas fireplace for the day.
