I have had a busy few weeks and Mom is trying to get me a Spa Day and Dad was away at the weekend and I got to spend the night snuggling with Mom and then Dad came home.  I honestly don’t know if I am coming or going at the moment.

I am also going on my holidays soon and Mom is getting things ready for me to go.  I saw extra food arrive the other day and I know I have some new toys to take, so I can’t wait to go.

The weather has been dreadful here and I have been getting wet most days when we have been out.  Mom has been washing my towel every day and had to wash the back door mat when I came in from the garden the other day as it looked mud brown instead of the grey colour it is supposed to be!

Mom has even been keeping the back door closed because of all the rain and I have not been able to run in and out like I normally do in summer!  I hope we get some nice warm and sunny days soon. 

I have been meeting Blaze slowly and I think he is very furry but I am being very good with him and he has not hissed at me once, so Mom, Dad, Youngest & Girlfriend are really pleased with me.  He had to go to his Doctor’s last week for his injections, I know his pain!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Woofy Week.  Coco xxx

Mom and I got to sit outside for all of an hour on Saturday before it rained again.  Mom had her cup of tea and I decided to get on the bench and sit next to her and keep an eye on my garden.

As you can see I am getting quite woolly again and I need a Spa Day and she is hoping to get me in before we are all on vacation. 

Mom and Dad don’t know why I started doing this but when the mail comes through our letter box in our front door, I grab it and shake it like mad and quite often rip it up!  So they tried to tell me not to and get to the post first but it has not been working.  Well do you know what they have done?  They have put one of these things onto the door and so when the Postman puts the mail through the flap it now falls into this cage!!!!  Who would have thought that the mail needs a crate like I do! 

Anyway it is working really well because I now stand at the mail crate and bark at it but I am so pleased with myself as I have not ripped it up and Mom does not shout at me now!!!!

This was me after about twenty minutes of sitting with Mom on the bench, I think I see a squirrel!

Last week was really busy and everyone was in and out at different times of the day and Mom was in charge of feeding me.  Even with all the ins and outs I did not persuade anyone to give me two dinners because Mom was in charge, drat!!!!

I hope you had a lovely Woofy Weekend and a good week to come.

Yes I am heartily sick of all the political news now, especially with our General Election for July 4th, which is in the middle of our Village Carnival Week!  They use our Village Hall all week for the various events but the Election team hold the voting in the Village Hall too so it is going to be a very busy day!  Our papers and news are full of the various policital points and not much else!  Well I suppose it goes along with our cold, rainy weather!!!!

I have not had chance to get in my sewing room for a while now but I am taking next week off work so will hopefully get some bits done then.  Also going to take the week to have a rest as it has been fraught for the last few months. 

Blaze’s new Bed, Play Tunnel, blanket and toys to keep him entertained.

Here is Blaze

Youngest’s Girlfriend is also moving in with us over the weekend and she has managed to transfer her job from where she is now to Derbyshire which is great news.  She is also bringing her C A T, but we are calling him the little black dog, so Coco does not go mad.  They have had a couple of days of introduction and they have both done really well.  Blaze, the little black dog (!), is used to dogs but Coco has not had any experience of C A T but I am sure they will get on really well after the first few weeks.  They are both young so that helps!  I will let you have some more pictures when they have moved in.

Off to get home jobs done now and then dinner.  Tomorrow is cake making day!  Have a wonderful Thursday.

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx

Mom says this is why I need a haircut and a long time at the Spa!!!  Because I can hardly see around my furs!!

I am very woolly at the moment as you can see but I will be super skinny tomorrow although Mom says it is going to be cold so I will no doubt be shivering when I come home!!!!

We all had a very busy Sunday and I spent the day helping Mom and Dad do the Spring Cleaning, which meant that I did not get any sleep all day.  Yesterday I spent the whole day in my basket next to Mom’s desk sleeping!  It is very hard working doing this Spring Cleaning.

Mom wanted me to show you her Rhododendron at the top of our garden.  It hardly had any flowers on it last year, but this year it is glorious.  Mom chose this one as it was the lovely pale pink/peach colour, she already has a lovely pink Rhododendron and also a very pale pink one as well so this was a great alternative.  There is a blue one which Mom would like to get as well.

Mom and Dad are hoping to get the Spring Cleaning finished this weekend.  It was going to be a gardening day but the weather looks like it is going to be raining again, but at least they will get one set of jobs done.  Dad has another weekend free in May when Mom is hoping that will be good weather to get garden jobs done then!!!

Happy Tuesday and I hope you are having a lovely Woofy Day.

It is with a heavy heart that we have learnt that Dear, Sweet Molly has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. 

I always say it is the very worst bit of having our wonderful fur babies, when they leave us and no matter how long they have been with us, it is always too short. 

I originally found Molly’s Blog several years ago and like Sue we have had Airedales for years, my Grandfather used to breed them before 1939, so they were very much a family breed.  From reading Molly’s Blog we got to know her and Sue very well and although we are three thousand miles apart, great friends which means the World to me.   We, of course, went through this when our darling Treacle passed over the Bridge two years ago, Sue and Molly were there for us then. 

Our love, thoughts and hugs go out to Molly’s dear Mom, Sue.

I am 2 Today!

I am having a very relaxed lazy day!

Mom thought you would like my own #TBT to when I arrived home.

Mom says that us babies do not stay little for very long and although she loves me lots and lots she would like to have Baby Coco back!!!

I also share my Birthday with Mom’s dear friend Sue her lovely Airegirl Molly.

A Very Happy Woofy 12th Birthday Molly We Love You.

We hope Molly has a wonderful day too.  Tomorrow Mom and Dad are out for two days so I am going to be at home with Youngest, yeah!  Yesterday everyone was at home and I got to meet Baby Tobey for the first time and I love him lots. 

DH with Tobey, Leni, Tillie, Suzie & Coco !!!

Me meeting Tobey

Tobey at home after a very busy day!

I hope you have a wonderful Woofy Week.  Coco xxxx

I had a busy weekend.  Youngest took me on an extra long walk as the weather had been better after all the rain we have had in recent weeks.

Mom gave me a long brush and cleaned my teefths!!!

Here I am with Youngest next to the Reservoir where we were walking.  Although the paths are very good it was still very muddy and I had to have a wash when I got home.  At least it was not raining.

I was so tired afterwards I fell asleep next to my bed and the door was keeping me propped up!!!

I did get in my basket eventually and when I was asleep on my back I was grinning in my sleep!!!!!

This was when I went out on the patio last thing, it was a good day for a long walk!

I hope you are having a wonderful Woofy Week.  Next weekend we have visitors coming!

There was an article in the newspaper the other day that Dogs who are actors are having to say how they identify on their paperwork!  So Mom said this was my description:

Coco – I identify as Princess of this Parish.  I require three meals a day with fresh water. Three beds of my own and use of your beds whenever I require it.  A selection of pretty collars and leads and two coats, one for wet days and one for cold days.  I also require attention whenever, said attention needs to be totally focused on me!

I think that is about all! 

Mom has been in the sewing room for a few days and I get to snooze in this bed when she is and it is really comfy.  In fact it gets moved into Youngest’s room at night where I have been sleeping recently. 

Our weather has been dreadful over the last few weeks with lots of rain, cold and grey.  I am not allowed on our garden as I come in looking like I have had a mud bath which I don’t mind but Mom does as she just about has to bath me every time.  I can’t wait for the weather to get better.

I am also in trouble as I have been wrecking my stuffies I got for Christmas.  Mom says she will not buy me anymore although she does remember a friend saying to get soft toys from the Charity shops as they do not cost a lot of money and it does not matter if I then wreck them.  Mom said the next time she goes out she will go and have a look for some. 

I hope you are having a lovely, woofy week.  Coco xxxx

I am in a high dudgeon today!  Mom was in this morning and then left at 11.30am to go out for lunch with Auntie Jayne and she did not get back until 4.30pm!  I mean really.  I did get a biscuit though before she left!

We got some snow again but not as much as this, above, which was before Christmas!  Because Mom and Dad has stopped me going up the garden I am just on the patio but this morning it was icy and had a bit of a slip!  Mom has now said everytime I go out, be careful!!!  It is freezing today and I am very glad to get back inside where the heating is on. 

It is going to be cold all week but that is not too bad as my furs are growing again!  Glad it is not just after I have had my spa day!  I think I will be snuggly on my bed for most of this week and hibernate!

I hope you have a wonderful woofy week.  Coco xx
