Sleepy Sunday

Enough of naps, let's have some treats!

Rain, Rain Go Away

It is grey and raining. Might be a good day to nap.

You think the same thing? I knew I liked you for a reason.

Wake me when the sun comes out.

Doin' Laundry with Mum

This is me folding laundry with Mum on the bed. I told her it was okay to take a short rest because all that folding can be tiring.

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.

Monday morning shots - unrehearsed!

We had a quiet weekend and are hanging out with Mum in her office. Dottie is off to find a comfy place to nap. She cut her face this weekend running into something. Mum says it is a miracle she did not put her eye out but she didn't. It must be hard to blind and deaf. Mum is guiding Dots a bit more these days so she doesn't fall or run into things.

I am sleeping at Mum's feet because I am really ticked off at Cooper. Cooper stole my bone and is chewing it on the other side of Mum. We don't know how he does this but he always steals bones.

I need to find a new brother...

Napping with Mum - Dozer

Mum and I retired to the bedroom last night and I snuggled in for a pre-bedtime nap. Always time for pratice for Sleepy Sundays I say. Snork, num, num, num.

Do you feel a breeze? I feel a breeze.

Sleepy Sunday - Notes from Cooper Edwards

I went to Portland with Mum to see my friend, Delight. This is me sleeping in the car on the way up after I had part of a hamburger from Mickey D's

This is me sleeping on Delight's couch.

I am an equal opportunity napper.

Sleepy Sunday - Please keep your voice down

Could you please keep it down over there? I am trying to nap.

Did someone say something about treats? What? Oh you didn't? Okay, I go back to sand land then.

It's Still About Me - Dozer

Mum started the Memorial Day weekend a little early when she came home at 1:30pm for the day. She was supposed to garden but we talked her into having some fun first.Dottie got a tummy rub from Anthony, note the nice paw action she has going.

Looking fine there Dottie girl! She is almost cute but of course, not as cute as moi!

This is me sitting on Mum's chest on the porch swing. Mum thought a nap might be nice but I explained a better use of that time would be petting me.

Mum, are you paying attention? Pet, pet, pet. A back rub would be nice too.

Give us a good scritch under the chin and down the neck. More, more more!

Hey you! Wake up, this is no time for a nap!

Well, you aren't the best masseuse I have ever had but you will do.

Oh, and this Cooper keeping watch. That dappled sunlight can creep up on you!

Sleepy Sunday - Notes from Cooper

Mum could not wait for the HGTV folks to declare her messy office worthy of a make-over and she spent all day Saturday moving everything out. She still has 4 brown grocery bags full of paper that she needs to go through - some goes to the recycling bin and some need to be filed. Today she put things away and made a whole lot of labels - she even labeled me which she thought was very funny. Dozer didn't think it was funny and he ran under the bed before Mum could label him! I took some pictures of Mum's craft room/office (I think we need to give Mum positive reinforcement so she continues this path of organization.) I just hope we never have to move because Mum uses so much of her craft things and if we moved somewhere she might have to get rid of some of the things - and we like to "grab and go" - grab something off the table and make Mum chase us! BOL!

Dozer decided to check out the napping on Mum's chair mat. There's so much room now it is scary.

Sleep is Good

Competitive napping on Mum's lap is what I excel at.
What can I say, it's a gift!

Good Weekend Fun

We had a busy weekend. Mum had to go to work Saturday morning for a couple of hours and then she came home to take me, Cooper, to the vet. Time for a quick exam, one vaccination and lots of cheese-in-can!

This is Stephanie, my new girlfriend. She is one of the vet tech's at Ark Animal Hospital. She likes me.

In the afternoon Mum and Dad went to Costco and did some shopping and then they came home to watch Oregon State University play football against Arizona (we won in the last 30 seconds!). I got bored watching the game and took a nap on Mum's lap. Every once in a while I run or snort which cracks Mum up. (She is so easily entertained!)

Dozer is a whiner and he hates being in his cage, so Mum lets him out in the evening after his walk and cuddles him. He is such a baby but as they say, "he's working it".

So it is Sunday morning and I have read the paper and am now taking my morning nap. Mum is watching the Discovery channel and Dad is surfing the internet. Now if it will stop raining for a bit, Mum can take me to the park!

Sleepy Monday

It is too cold to play outside and it is nice and warm here on the couch, so I am going to take a morning nap. You wake me if there is something interesting to eat.

Please release me, let me go.....

I thought I would share my exquisite pee wee from yesterday. I saved it until 11:30am and then decided our recycling bin deserved to have a little shower. I can't really lift my leg so I am using the half-squat position.

Mum took me to the vet yesterday and I got to trade my ridiculous collar thing for an inflatable collar (which can double as a flotation device in case the house crashes over water). This is much more comfortable and I can actually eat grass and sniff the ground. Thank you Dr. Williams for trusting me. Mum did duct tape the Velcro to make sure I could not undo the contraption but I am so happy to have that plastic cone off, I will be a good boy.

Howie is on his way from Texas in a Winnebago to rescue me. (See note below). I don't know when he will arrive but Mum said I can't go. She is such a party pooper!

*wind whistles by Howie's ears as he sticks his tongue out at the other drivers* I'm coming to rescue yew DozerPants. There's room in this here Winnebago fur your frigerator, so be sure to tell Cooper and Dottie to have that out front with your kibble, k?Moco and pals, there's room fur yew too, bring extra food.Travelin Pee

Mum had way too much time on her hands yesterday and she decided to make sure Dottie cannot tip over the garbage, recycling and kibble bins in the kitchen (again, what a party pooper!) So Mum used cup hooks and bungee cords and now Dottie can't get into anything - not that she is not trying though! Unfortunately Dots cannot jump on her hind legs like I can (or did) so it really makes it difficult for her to get a purchase on the kibble can.

Go Dots Go! Bring me the kibble!

I am feeling much more energetic today and I am having a hard time not running on my leash. Mum took me next door to see my girlfriend, Dot, a nice lady with a great garden. I am garnering a lot of sympathy but absolutely no cookies which mystifies me. I mean people in the hospital get boxes of candy...shouldn't I get boxes of dog treats?

Mum just gave me my Tramadol and Rimadyl so I am going to take my morning nap.

Love, Dozer

Don't Hate Me Because I am Beautiful

The rainy season has begun in Oregon. This signals the time to begin napping on warm laps in front of fire places. I have begun intensive training each evening in preparation for bed. Yawn..

More back please...no, down lower

Hmmm, scratch a little bit more to the right

You keep pulling my fur like that and you will
be pulling your hand out of my throat in a second
after I bite your fingers off!

You are getting sleepy, very sleepy

My Uncle Alex said this video is enough
to make you want to take nap. Cooper
loves his morning nap after he has had breakfast
and a break outside. After Mum shot this, Coop
went right back to sleep. Mum loves it
because you can almost feel how soft Cooper is.

Personally, I think Mum is getting just a tad
soft in the head. Next video better be of me.
