Flys for Dessert

Mum is still pretty grossed out when she looks at me. Apparently eating the dead flies from the fly trap that fell on the ground made her tummy turn. She said my breath was breathtaking and not in a good way. She went outside and cleaned up everything like it was radioactive hazmat zone. She watched me most of the day to see if I acted funny or sick but I love dead things so no harm was done.

Cooper had his shot of Adequan today for his legs and his nails clipped. I was supposed to go to the vet and get my nails done but Mum said my breath was so atrocious that she couldn't impose me on anyone. What's with that?

It hailed and rained this afternoon. Then the temperature dropped fifteen degrees in 45 minutes. When there was a break in the clouds, we had an afternoon walk but we still got wet and cold.

So Coop is alseep in the bed by the fireplace and I am patrolling the house.

 Taking a short rest from patrols...

Cooper likes to get all hot in front of the fire and then he has a lie down.

That's Coop, having a snooze fest..

Giving Thanks - Day 3

We are really thankful for Pet Blogs United because they made us their Featured Blog of the Week! Whoo hoo! Us? Yeah Us! How cool is that? We like PBU because they have really good articles for canines and felines and all the "lines" in between - they like all pets.

So I have just one thing to say....

Giving Thanks - Day 2

Dozer: I would like to give thanks for cardboard boxes. They are most wonderful and a great toy. I like to tear them apart and Cooper likes to chew on the shreds. It is our form of recycling and Mum let's me do it every once in a while. Mum rocks..most of the time.

Cooper: I would like to give thanks to the magic bowls. Mum keeps them on the counter and twice a day they float down to the floor filled with foodables. I have no idea how the foodables know where the land or why they remember to come to our house twice a day, but I am so very glad they do!

Giving Thanks - Day 1

Mum thought it would be good to spend some time on giving thanks for what we have as we approach Thanksgiving. She made Cooper and me sit down with our crayons and write out some of the things we are thankful for. Cooper ate his crayon so his list is shorter but we started with one of our favorite things we are thankful for ....LAPS! Laps are wonderful, they come in all sizes and always fulfill a multitude of services! We love Laps!

 See how Coop's ear attaches itself to Mum's sweater. Static cling I think.

What a furball...

Look at my leg extension on this lap!

Nice lap Dad! Thanks!

Sleepy Sunday - Quiet Time

Mum has our Paws It Forward packages ready to go in the morning! Mum purchased one of Aunt Laura's handmade fleece pull toys for each of the winners and Mum is sending holiday bunting pennants she made for our buddies pawrents. There is also a WORD pin for each of the winners but we think they will look better on your pawrent than you. There is no fud. I said there should be food but Mum said sometimes our pals have allergies and she said the toys and presents would be enough. I still think we should have sent food.

It's hard work getting these packages together, time for a nap.

And the Winners Are....

The winners of our Paws It Forward contest are (drum roll)...

Peanut
Jane Austen
and Wilson

Please send Mum your snail mail address by sending her an email to nancy (at) senorpuppypants.com and she will get your Oregon gifts off to you!

Remember to keep the contest going by having your own Paws It Forward on your blog once you get your package!

Love, Dozer

Paws It Forward CONTEST! Enter now!

So Mum used the Blogger scheduler to post this note about Paws It Forward and it has been sitting for a week. It never published itself and it never even told us. It just sat there...waiting. How lame is that? Pretty lame if you ask me.

Anyway, we'll try this again! As you can see below, we received this nifty package from Natasha Kirker. She picked our name out of her Paws It Forward blog entry and then sent us a padded envelope with a stuffed toy, treats (two kinds) some Pupperoni chewies and two postcards with a discount on her jewelry.

We loved all our treats and we gave our toy to our Nanny with a pin attached to it. We think this Paws It Forward movement is a great way to make friends and get some cool new toys and foodables!

Now it is our turn!

If you would like to be in the running for one of three Paws It Forward packages, simply leave a comment to this entry. We will take all the entries, use a random choosing machiney-thingy, and the winners will be announced next Wednesday. These packages will contain food-ables, Oregon only type toys, and other fun stuff for you to enjoy. If you receive a package, then you have to Paws it Forward and have a contest on your blog.

I figure we if we keep this Paws It Forward  thing going, eventually everyone in the world will get a package. So odds are you may already be a winner!

One entry per dog/cat/bird.guinea pig, etc. This is not for dogs only. If you are a family members with wings, feet, paws, gills, or whatever, you are welcome to play!

Let the game begin! Arrroooo!

Love, Dozer

Dottie is still getting top billing

This is just pathetic (moans a sad Dozer). Dottie is in the new Best Friends magazine this month in their Memories section. I blame Mum because she must have been the one to send in the notice of Dottie's passing and no one else knows where the pictures are kept.

(Cooper sneaks out of the room and runs down the hall laughing and giggling - he knows where the pictures are but please don't tell Dozer!)

Mum sends in a donation each year to Best Friends because they are a great rescue and take care of every kind of animal and then trys to find homes for the residents. Once in a while, when I am bad, she swears she is sending me there for obedience classes or time outs. I say to myself "Whatever". Personally I think I am perfect.

Anyway, one more salute to Miss Dots. She definitely knew how to work the media and the ring in her favor.

Love, Dozer

We's Gots a Nanny!

The kits at The Casbah Kitten said Heidi from Kitty Meow Meow is really our Nanny! How cool is that? We had no idea but we are really excited to learn we now has a Nanny. Cooper went on-line to learn about Nannies 'cause we aren't exactly sure what's a Nanny really is.

Apparently these Nanny sorts live on top of mountains and sing quite a bit.

And during their off hours, these Nanny types fly around with umbrellas (risky behavior if you ask me...I'm just sayin')

But check out the sheep! Whoo whooo! We can't wait for Heidi to bring the sheep...maybe tomorrow? We love sheep - just look how much we loved Mr. Goat (till his head fell apart).

Plus there's More!

We got a big envelope from Natasha Kirker! It is part of the Paws it Forward movement and we are so excited!! Mum is going to open it tomorrow and we will show you all our neat gifts and then it will be our turn to paws it forward!

Natasha has a neat website called Sparkle and Metal which Mum fell in love with (we're monitoring her time on the site and we took her magic card away). Check it out by clicking here.

Kitty Meow Meow

Many of you have commiserated with me over my abandonment issues. Mum goes off each day to work and right now Dad is in Arizona.

How do I manage? It is not easy. Cooper panics a lot and glues himself to me because he used to live at the Humane Society and thinks Mum is not coming home. Yeah right.

Heidi from Kitty Meow Meow looks after us when Mum cannot. Heidi comes at lunch time every Thursday because Mum has a jobsite meeting and she cannot get home to us. We really look forward to our Thursdays with Heidi.

Heidi plays with us and leaves Mum long notes on us (see above). I can't read very well and Cooper needs glasses so we are not really sure what these notes say. Cooper says we have to be on our best behavior otherwise Heidi will tell Mum we are incorrigible. I don't even know what that means but Cooper says it is not good. (If you click on the picture you can read the kind of notes Heidi leaves).

Personally, I do not think Heidi needs to tell Mum what we do in the toilet department but apparently that is part of pet-sitting. Mum thinks it is fun. Yeah right.

A Cold Fall Night

...a cold fall night requires conserving heat and finding a comfortable position.

Good-night!

Fall is Upon Us

The leaves are turning, there are brisk winds coming over the from the coast, Mum is changing her wardrobe, and pumpkins are being carved and presented! We'll be saying good-bye to the last of the tomatoes later this week - Cooper is really upset over this.

The leaves are becoming drifts and collecting in every corner!

Leaves are mingling with grass, Mum had her loafters on and it is officially Fall!

Mum found a lovely site that makes "wordles". She made all sorts of "wordles" for Cooper and moi. (You can make some too at http://www.wordle.net/).

This is Cooper, obviously, he's a spaniel

Yeah, yeah, Cooper again

 Oh look, finally me!

So stylish, so....me!

I'm loving the colors on this one 

Oh crikey, it's Cooper again!



Are you having a good Fall? We hope so, because it is a beautiful time of year. Do you have leaves falling off your trees? If not, Cooper will be glad to bag and send you a bunch of ours. No really, it is not a problem. We have Mum's debit card and we'll pay the shipping.

Multi-Tasking Stuffies

Stuffies always have more than one purpose or use in life. Let's look at Mr. Goat, shall we? Even though he is missing most of his brains and head, he continues to have a purpose in life as my chin support in bed.

Thanks Mr. Goat Stuffie for your continued good work - you'll need to lose a lot more stuffing before we send you onto Stuffie Heaven.

Me and My Hugs

From Mum's phone, me and Da, having snuggles.

I have no idea how Cooper's pictures got into this blog entry because it supposed to be all about me!
