We Got Grass! (the legal kind)

This moment of spring brought to you by Cooper Edwards

Summer is Here and We're Playing

We are so glad it is finally warm! We've been outside playing and these are just some of the our photos from this week!

Thank you, thank you very much...

Busy Sunday - From Dozer

Normally this is Sleepy Sunday and we nap but this was no ordinary Sunday. Nope, today was 'get out in the yard and plant the vegetable garden, play in the pool, eat the grass and roll around" Sunday. There are a lot of pictures so we best get started right away. This is me looking up at Uncle Anthony who sprayed me with the hose. I tried to bite the hose and then I tried to bite the water and then I was all wet. I love water so it was a good time.
The pool is out! The pool is out! Mr. Fire Hydrant went for a swim, as did my green ball and my stuffed ball - which isn't supposed to get wet.

This is Cooper eating the grape hyacinth. He started with grass and then decided the flowers didn't taste so bad either.

Here he is taking a big bite out of something. I bet Mum would like it if he ate the dandelions.

Coop was getting tired but he kept on munching. He is out of practice over the long winter. He should really work up to this sort of thing.

This is Coop's lie down approach. He gets at eye-level with the plants.

Uh oh, Coop is getting tired but he keeps on munching.

Well, that's it then. The Coop has fallen asleep mid-chew. Shhh, we'll just let him sleep for a bit.

Meanwhile Dottie was rolling around the yard enjoying the sunshine. She fell yesterday and scared herself, but Mum said she is okay, just a little hesitant. So we aren't supposed to run around and confuse her unless we are outside and Mum is there. Whatever!

This is me and Dad on the porch swing. I still am not allowed to play fetch but we play ball where I catch the green ball in my mouth. Not as fun as fetch but better than nothing.

This is our vegetable garden. There are two kinds of lettuce on the left and peas and beans on the right.

Mum spent most of her time yelling at Cooper and me to get out of the dirt and to stop digging. Then she put this fencing up and zip-tied it so we can't get in. Where's the fun in that?

Here's Coop, all fresh from his nap. He is looking fondly at the vegetable patch and wondering when the lettuce will be ready for harvesting.

Coop really needs a haircut so he is going back to the groomer this week. Let's hope it goes a bit better this time around.

And this is Dottie, wishing you a good-night from our little corner of Oregon. We had a lovely day and we hope you did too. (Cooper made me say that - I was going to ask you to send me treats but Coop said that is not appropriate. Where I come from it is part and parcel of corgi'ness. Whatever.)

Dottie's Not Mad, Just Naughty!

Mum has gotten a bunch of notes asking why Dottie is so mad at us. Mum even asked the vet about this and the general concensus is that Dottie is finally feeling better than she has in years and is kicking up her paws and enjoying life. There is a wee bit of the devil in our little canine sister and now she has the energy and joy of life to act on her naughty ideas!

So Miss Dots is not mad, just bad! BOL! Actually right now she is resting on the grass and not feeling too well. Apparently the kibble is making its "exit" from her intestines and Dottie is feeling kind of poopie, literally.

M'lady needs her privacy at this time as she is indisposed.

First Day of Spring - Cooper's Notes to You

First, Mum says to tell you she was very touched over every one's concern for Dottie. While Dozer is jealous of all the attention Dottie got, I think it was very nice that folks sent prayers and good thoughts Dottie's way. Miss Dots is feeling much better and is back to her old self. Unfortunately being blind and almost completely deaf, Dottie has a harder time when she is not feeling well.

As you may know today is the first day of Spring! And I for one am glad to welcome it into our yard. We made you a movie so you can watch us eat the new spring grass which is very sweet and nummmy. I love to eat grass, it is right up there with paper products! BOL! (Mum says to tell you the video is only a minute or so long and that the music is called Somewhere Sunny. She says humans like to know these things. I want to know where I can get more grass!)

Dottie Gets Her Due

Mum thought it was time to give Dottie a post of her own and to show off her winning good looks. I have to admit, she does look mighty pretty in this post. (But don't tell her because this blog is supposed to be all about me!)
