Gettin' Ready For Santa

Cooper got sent to "The Farm" to get clean for the holidays. Dad said he was getting smelly and Mum thought Coop was looking a wee bit shaggy. So off he went for the day.

 Coop came home looking like some sort of dandy with this green and red hankerchief around his neck! BOL! What a doofus.

Mum said Cooper smelled so good that she couldn't stop petting him and playing with his curls.

Me? I don't need no bath, I'm a corgi and we smell good all year round. But I have to go to the vet on Saturday to get my nails clipped. Apparently I have a gold star by my name because I am so naughty when I get my nails trimmed that I get to wear a party hat over my mouth. Whatever.

Love, Dozer

A Corgi True-ism for Tuesday

We are back and Mum is home! We have very little time before Christmas to impress upon Santa all our good deeds during the last year. Being that time is short, we will endeavor to create a pictorial report in the coming days of how deserving we are for treats, presents and apparel.

With love from Dozer and Cooper

An update of sorts

Mum cannot update our blog for a bit. Her father is very ill and she is staying close at hand to be of any kind of assistance that may be needed. Dad is taking good care of us but we have a complaint list started (lack of treats three times a day, heated water beds, new toys, etc..) that we will present to Mum when she has time to read it.

It is hard sometimes to be a dog. You can't tell people to get well but perhaps when we put our head up for a scratch or lean gently against a leg, they know.

Love, Dozer

This Cannot Be!

Dottie is still getting on websites and she has been at the Rainbow Bridge for over a year! Well at least I got a small mention, but this blog is named after ME!

Tasha Tudor is like the top of the Corgi chain. Mum reads me Tasha Tudor before bed and I always have sweet dreams. Of course I am the only corgi in any of the dreams because they are my dreams and I get to have the starring role. Cooper can be in some but never a starring role!

Visit One Day on Earth

On November 11th, 11.11.11, across the planet, documentary filmmakers, students, and other inspired citizens will record the human experience over a 24-hour period and contribute their voice to the second annual global day of media creation called One Day on Earth.

Together, we are showcasing the amazing diversity, conflict, tragedy, and triumph that occurs in one day. We invite you to join our international community of thousands of filmmakers, hundreds of schools, and dozens of non-profits, and contribute to this unique global mosaic. One Day on Earth is a community that not only watches, but participates.

Ghosts and Goblins Oh My!

Happy Halloween to all our bloggy friends!

A giganormous amount of treats were consumed to allow our Mum to snap these pictures. Bribery has its high points!

Welcome Fall!

 Fall has arrived in our neck of the woods.
Cooper has taken to the falling leaves and checks out
the piles of swirling shapes at every turn.

 He looks out into the fields to see if deer or elk are coming our way.
His job is to keep his Mum safe.

No danger is too big...

 No stream too deep or treacherous for this canine defender!

 The leaves show us the way home!

Where someone is napping and awaiting tummy rubs
and a walk after dinner!
It is not easy to be the head Corgi!

Can No One Save Us!?

Halloween is coming and with it, ghosts and scary corgis are invading out house! Can no one save us from these specters of Halloween? If you can, please comment and tell us how!!!

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

Someone is dropping the ball here!

Cooper here. Our blog has had some serious issues of late. It seems "someone" has not been keeping up their end of the bargain and has fallen asleep on the job. I have discussed this with Mum and it shall be remedied very shortly. Until then, I think we all know who is responsible for this total lack of regard concerning the timeliness of blog entries and appropriate content. I will not point paws but I think we all know who that "someone" is.

Looks like "someone" is sleeping on the job to me.

Trip to Krausie

Tonight Mum took us to visit our favorite friend, Krausie. (His real name is Elwell, but we call him Krausie). We got to go in the car and hang our heads out the window and throw our drool to the wind. Finally we arrived at Krausie's farm and we had treats and got impatient while Mum and Krausie chatted and looked at things on the computer. At long last we got to be the center of attention (about time!). First, we sat on Krausie's lap

Cooper went first and got a nice rub down.

I chatted with Krausie on a number of topics.

Then we went outside.

This is Krausie's 1955 tractor. Mum loves it. Mum wants it.

Then I found bunny poop and stuff to roll in. I was in heaven, I still am. Mum says I smell "interesting" which is another word for "unsavory" or not so good. Here are some action shots of my roll in the poop de bun-bun.

Heaven is rolling in poopy grass.

Furry Whales - We Loves Them

Mum thinks this French group is outstanding and now she wants a furry whale. Who are we to argue?

Post Bath Nap

After a Sunday afternoon visit to the groomer for a well-deserved bath, Mr. Cooper has taken to his bed for a nap. Keeping one beautiful and perfumed can be a tiresome task and is best done infrequently.

Come to Mum...No Seriously Come Here!

Come here and let's have a picture...

No, you cannot have a cookie, just come over here...

Try not to look so put upon, this isn't killing you...

Would you please stand still?

Oh bag this, taking a picture with a wayward corgi

simply is not happening today!

I Gotta a Glow on For You

Mum is far behind in our blogging due to work and what is worse, she has not been visiting blogs either. We shall remedy this shortly. Thank you for your patience. I will just sit here and glow until Mum gets her act together.

Sleepy Monday

We're having a hard time getting moving this morning, please check back tomorrow.

I think NOT!

Mum found this on the Yahoo UK site which makes it all that much more appalling! I spent most of the 4th of July evening under the bed thank you very much and it was a lovely spot to ride out the fireworks. But the insinuation that keeping me out of the bedrooms might help someone's health is ludicrous! I have never heard of such nonsense. Mum always sleeps better when I have my face on hers...reduces her snoring to liveable decibels if you ask me.

We All Have a Special Friend

 Mr. HedgeHog is Cooper's special friend

 He licks Mr. HedgeHog and keeps him very clean.

 Sometimes they just sit together and think about life.

Dozer has many special friends who get consumed on a regular basis. That is all part and parcel of being a corgi!

Fine Art Graces Our Life

Mum's picture from Howie PeePants' Mum, Nancy Medina, arrived at work today! Isn't the oil painting gorgeous? Mum has hung it in her cubicle so when she twirls around to get up she looks at it and it reminds her of gardens, flowers and wonderful old doors. Our Aunt Nancy PeePants is a wonderful artist and has her own website at http://nancymedina.com/. We don't go there (Mum does) because we go see our cousin Howie at his blog at The Pugpant Chronicles. Truth be known, we believe Howie does most of the painting and that his mother is taking the credit. We have no proof but there are rumors.

Mum got another painting of a sunflower and she has that on her desk at work. It too is beautiful but Mum isn't sure how she can get a photo of it without bringing unwanted attention during work hours. You can understand her dilemma! BOL!

Grant Me Patience....

I apologize for our last entry on eating toilet paper. Mum finds these little idiosyncrasies entertaining. I find them mind numbing. Please send help, I am trapped in a home that is completely governed by a post-menopausal woman who is easily amused by the antics of a senile Cocker Spaniel. This cannot be normal.
