Holiday Cheer

Merry Christmas!!

Bubble Dreams

Here I am curious about Bubbles. What are they? At first I was so curious about what they are, I got a little afraid of it. Avoiding the floating bubbles coming towards me. I realized that you can't run away from the bubbles. Especially if you're on a bench and the only way to go is back or front. (FYI, I do not jump of the bench afraid my tiny legs won't be able to catch my fall.)

After being showered with bubbles, it was kind of fun playing with them. I think you imagined me popping the bubbles with my paws right? Well... you're WRONG! I do this instead....

It doesn't exactly work. And I think I look stupid trying to eat the bubbles.

I think too much bubbles can look scary. So I just sat still waiting for all of them to go away.

New Toys

Meet my 2 new toys, Jacob and Bone-Bone.

They usually give my toys names. And it's not because I befriend my toys. It's for me to know which toy they are referring to.

One of the games I love to play is hidden objects game. In my case, it's me searching for my toys around the house. They'd start the game by saying "Where's Jacob?". Upon hearing that, I'm set to look for Jacob around the house. Sniffing every corner there is and peeking every table top. This game is easy if you have a superb sense of smell, like me.

Imagine if they didn't named my toys. How will I know which toy I should find if they said, "Coco, where's your toy?" That'll be a hard game since I'll be looking for all my toys.

I just wish Jacob and Bone would live long. Most of my toy die quickly. (R.I.P. Mr. Turtle...)

Here Comes A Groom

The time has finally come that my fur has grown back. If you're my fan, you probably read the horrible fur-cut I had a few months back. I was almost bald back then, I almost looked like a chihuahua. You'd know that you have an ugly cut when your neighbor keeps on repeating "Oh... it's short.... your fur used to be long and pretty, but now.... it's short... really short." Well... enough with that because I'm back to the way I was.

But, as happy as I can be with my fur now, there's always a sad consequence - I have to go and get a fur-cut. And you know how terrified I am with that.

Mommy said she'd watch the groomer like a hawk this time. Any mistake and the grommer's dead! Mommy won't let any disaster happen to me again.

I never posted any photo of me with my horrible cut, and I know it makes you wonder what I look like. Since I'm back to normal, I finally decided to let the photos out, here's a before and after shot of me...

This is my "Before" shot...

And "After".

Shhh.... Sleeping

I don't know about other dogs, but, I usually sleep all day. I nap in the morning, I sleep all through the afternoon, and there's another nap in the evening. You think I have a problem falling asleep at night? Nope! I get sleepy at around 9:30pm. I think I got this from Darlene, who, like me, also loves to sleep.

Here I am sleeping... I usually sleep on the floor, especially when it's really hot. There are times when I look for the comfort of a soft couch. Other dogs aren't allowed to go up on couches, but, since Mommy loves me, I can do whatever I want!

And this is me sleeping again. They say this position makes me look like a cat, which is an insult because I hate cats!

And when I'm really sound asleep, I sleep like this. And first it freaks people out thinking something bad might've happened to me. I remember when Daddy saw me like this for the first time. He quickly called Jennifer to check if somethings wrong with me.

There are also times when I'm so into my sleep, that I have nightmares. Bad dreams that makes me cry or make me look like I'm running. I do not know how I can have nightmares. Maybe it has something to do with the gang of stray cats I see outside. They haunt me in my sleep.

Halloween Costume Picks

Halloween is just around the corner and here are my top 3 picks for my costume this year...

Costume #1, a Chicken.

Everyday, I look out my window and what do I see? Chickens! Clucking freely outside. To make things clear, I do not live in a farm. I'm a city dog, but, my neighbor decided to raise a flock of chickens. When Kimberly walks me outside, one of the the fun things we would do is to chase the chickens away. You should see me and Kim, we are so happy. It's really funny how the chickens run away in terror. The fun ends when we see the chickens' owner face, she looks angry. She does not like her chickens to be aggravated like that.

So, maybe, if I can be a chicken for a day, they might make me fun freely outside. And I can try and blend in the flock. Costume #2, a Giraffe.

I haven't seen a giraffe in real life (obviously, I am not allowed in a zoo) but I have seen one on tv. Yes, I watch tv sometimes. Especially if animals or cartoons are on. Those kind of stuff catches my attention. Anyway, back to my topic... I wanted to become a giraffe because I am amazed about how tall they are! If I'm as tall as a giraffe, I would be able to reach all my toys that's placed on high table tops. I would not need to bark to call somebody and beg for them to hand me my toy. If I'm a giraffe, I can simply get it myself.

Wait a minute... I'm guessing I won't be as tall as a giraffe just because I'll be dressing like one. Anyway, I think the weird things beside their ears are funny and this costume has them!

Costume #3, a Super Hero.

I want to be a Super Hero. I want to be Super Coco and attack all the stray cats outside. I want to be Super Coco and save Kim from the evil Cockroach. I can run really really fast and the cape that comes with this costume can help me with my speed. Hope this costume can make also strenghten my stamina because too much playing can knock me out to sleep in an instant.

So, those are my top 3 picks for this Halloween. But, thinking about it again, I hate wearing clothes. So, making me wear those would just irritate me and all that I'll be doing is trying to get my clothes off. I don't think these costumes are a good idea anymore...

The Best Guard Dog

I recently recieved a new toy. A pretzel-shaped rubber chew toy. I LOVE toys! Especially when it's new. I think Jennifer threw away my old toys - a tennis ball and a red rubber ball. It's probably because I over-chewed them.

So, when Kimberly gave me a new toy, I was so excited. I hate it when Kim has something I want. It's because she'll really make me work hard for it before handing it over to me. She's make me do every single trick I know. So, I have to sit, lie down, roll over, turn around and shake her hands a dozen times. But, even after doing those, she still won't hand it over easily. Even when I start crying for it, she still won't give it.

After doing a dozen tricks that made me a little dizzy, I finally got this pretzel! I was happily playing it for a few minutes until I got tired. No, I didn't get tired of it, I literally got tired! But, I do not want to let go of my toy because I'm afraid they might get it and hide it from me. So, I did this...

Here I am guarding my toy. I have to keep it in my paw-grip so they can't take it away. The moment someone tries to do something sneaky, I grab the toy quickly with my mouth and run for it!

While resting, I still have to keep my guard up. Instead of always watching over it, I put it on top of me paw. My paws were getting a little tired from trying to grip it. Putting it on top of my paw will still alert me when someone tried to take it.

When I can no longer force my eyes to open I finally fell asleep. But, still, no one can take that toy away from me! I slept on it! That way, I can feel it when someone tries to take it away. What can I say, I'm a clever dog!
