Coco’s Corner.

Mom took this the other morning before I had my spa day. I think it is not fair to be taking pictures of people just after they have woken up and got snout bed hair!

Whilst I was having my season, my Brothers, Sisters and Mom all got together for a meet up now we are all one year old! I was not allowed to go! Here are three pictures of the meet. Mom thinks the Airedale on the left in the above picture looks like me.

Our weather has turned this week and it has been cooler but raining quite a bit, so this is where Mom found me this morning after she had had her shower.

Tuesdays are really hard!

Happy Woofy Tuesday Everybuddy. Coco xx

We survived the pool although we did roast even with all the fans going! The swimmers had a wonderful time and lots of happy faces with their medals and PBs’. We also got home early too which was a bonus. They had the picnic and fun day yesterday and the weather held until everyone had left and we had cleared up.

DH, Youngest’s Girlfriend and I got to see the new puppy yesterday, Honey, before we went to the Fun Day! Here she is:

Being cuddled with Mummy!

Daddy’s got me, better behave!

Although in the pictures she looks big, she is quite tiny!

We can’t wait for her to have all her injections and then she can come over and have a play date with Madam!! I am sure that will be fun to see.

Busy week as always here and next weekend DH and The Boys are off for a car weekend so keeping fingers crossed that the weather is going to be good for them. Have a wonderful week you lovely lot.

Coco’s Spa Day & Our Garden.

Miss Coco has returned from her Spa Day and looks so much better, good job too as it is 27°C here today! She has had her summer Airecut. I know we are supposed to leave the Airedale legs long and fluffy but in this heat, no way!

Coco loves showing off for the camera.

I haven’t had chance to show you our garden and the summer pots. Here they are. I went for white and blue this year, although it is so sunny it has washed out the colours a little bit, will have to get some better pictures when the sun is setting.

Above is my little vegetable bed with tomato plants and carrots growing.

Even the blue of the sky is very pale as it is so warm

I have all the curtains closed, windows open and fans going at the moment. Tomorrow it is going to be warm again but thunderstorms are forecast. We are at the pool all day so that will be interesting. The last time we were at the pool and there was a thunderstorm it knocked all the power out for an hour!

Have a wonderful weekend you lovely lot.

I have been having a hard time of it with this thing that Mom says is called my Season! I did not know what was happening to me and I needed lots of hugs and love off everyone! I finally feel more like myself and have been playing again! I really hope that does not happen again!

Mom has her sewing room back and has said I can have a new bed in there, so when she is sewing I can be with her. She does not know what sort to get though. I have my big basket next to Mom’s desk and a bit smaller basket in Mom and Dad’s room, so Mom thought of getting me something different for her sewing room.

So far this is the one she likes the most. I don’t mind so long as it is comfy and I can snuggle in it. Mom says one benefit of this one is that she can wash all of it!! I don’t know what she means.

It has been very warm over the last week or so and I have been outside soaking up the sun although Mom does keep an eye on me in case I am digging which Dad does not like!! I am going for a Spa day next week to cut my furs and also make me feel better after this horrible season thing!

It has been cooler over the last few days which has been nice but we are supposed to be back to warm sunshine next. I hope you are having a wonderful woofy week.

What a two weeks! Poor little Coco has been having her season for the last two weeks, she and I do not know what to do with her! She has become very needy and I am spending a lot of my day cleaning up. I do hope she will finish soon for her sake as she really is out of sorts. Good news is that in three months time we will be able to get her spayed so she won’t have to go through this again.

As with everything else here in the UK we go from freezing cold to baking hot! The last few days have been very, very sunny and hot. It was then a scramble to get out summer quilts, fans and everything summer! We have to take action quickly because this could be our summer and it could also go back to being cold!!!!! 🙂

Of course with the heat comes the fact that trying to sleep at night is hard, so when the alarm went off at 5.00am this morning I felt like I had only just gone to sleep!!!

DH spent the weekend at the local pool commentating and I spent the weekend doing jobs! I have, however, caught up with home jobs and work so at least I am starting this week with a clean slate!!!

Today is my best friend, Jayne, her Birthday. Mine is next week and as you know we go out once a month for lunch so we are going out the last week of June for our Birthday lunch! Will try and remember to take pictures!!!

DH and I managed to get the garden tidy and I did my pots for the summer, having to keep Madam from investigating them. Still have one or two things to do but can do those on the odd days when DH is not commentating!

I have a spa day coming up on Thursday and home jobs to do on Friday. Saturday DH and I will be sorting out our new Business Year and doing budgets. Eldest’s Girlfriend her Birthday is on Thursday this week (all these June Birthdays!) and so Saturday evening we will probably have a takeaway and hopefully if the weather holds we can eat outside. Sunday DH has another swimming meeting but hopefully we will be able to do a bit more in the garden as well.

Tomorrow I will show you how the sewing room is coming on.

Have a wonderful week.

I have not done one of my blogs for a while because, well I have just been so busy! My day starts with Daddy letting me out into my garden and then having my breakfast. I then race back upstairs to find Mom and show her the toy I have brought up with me!

Then, depending upon what day it is, we have different rountines. Mom spends quite a bit of time at her desk and I have my basket next to her desk which means I can keep an eye on her!

I have a lunchtime biscuit when Mom has lunch and then we spend the afternoon at work. One day is spent doing house jobs and I walk round with Mom supervising and another day she is out all day at Eldest’s garage so I have a quiet day in my crate snoozing. Mom always leaves the radio on for me and I am at the moment listening to Radio 3 here in the UK which is the Classical station.

I am having a hard time at the moment keeping the blooming cats out of my garden! There is one black and white cat who sits on the top step and no matter how much I bark will not move. It does go eventually if Mom goes to open the door. Our neighbour also has two new kittens, a black one and a white one with splodges on it. They will not leave the garden so Daddy had to go outside last night and got the hose pipe. It eventually went!!! They are NOT allowed in my garden at all!

I hurt my leg the other day trying to keep the cats out and it hurt but Mom massaged it and I was able to walk on it by lunch. I did, however, get a bit of a telling off after that!!! But I do have to defend my garden after all!

We have been having some sunshine over the last few days and the door has been open for me to run in and out as I please, but Mom is keeping an eye on me from her desk! So far I have not been naughty digging up her plants!!!!

I hope you are having a lovely woofy week. Coco xx

Busy Again!

Last weekend was a long weekend here in the UK and DH was commentating at the Regional swimming event all weekend but I did get lots of jobs done.

I am pleased to say that my Spring Cleaning is finished, Yeah!!!! I still have small bits to do like washing cushion covers and curtains but I am waiting for better weather to hang them all out on the line. I also have some de-cluttering to do but again I can do that when DH is not around.

I did get a lot of washing and ironing done as well and if you stood still you got washed too! It is such a great feeling to have got it all done! I also wanted to get it done as we are hopefully seeing the Decoraters in July and all I will have to do them is vacuum the rooms!

Only two more days to go before The Coronation. We will be watching on Saturday as it is an Historic event. I remember my parents talking about the late Queen’s Coronation in 1953 so I think it is something to see. We also have another long weekend as we have Monday off but we are hoping that we can get some gardening done as that needs a tidy up. Things are starting to grow so we need to make sure that there is room for the new blooms. The weather has been still very cool and although we have had some sunshine it is not that warm!

Can’t believe it is May already. We seemed to have rushed through the first four months of the year, but I suppose it is because we have been so busy. The next few months are going to be busy too but what else is new. The weeks are falling into a pattern for me of our work, Eldest’s work, home jobs and then fitting time in to do anything else which at the moment is very small. I may be getting my sewing room back but I am not saying it too loud at the moment!!!!! I will let you know how things go!

I hope you lovely lot are having a good week.

I think Coco ran out of charge the other day, This is what I found when I turned round from my desk, she was absolutely shatterd and fast asleep! She did not even wake up when I took her picture!!!!

I have had a busy few days helping Mom and organising those Boys of mine! I should have done my Corner yesterday but I spent the day curled up in my basket as it was cold and very wet here in Derbyshire.

This is where I spent yesterday as it was cold and wet outside!

Mom says I have been too distructive with my soft toys recently so my next ones will be the tough chew ones. I have lots of string ropes which I love chewing, you can see one of the cotton strings on my nose!

Mom I am ready for playtime. Can you throw my rope toy please?

Can you get this piece of string off my nose please?

I am ready for the rope throw! This string is now tickling my nose!!!!!I have had fun today and I think I now smell dinner cooking!

I will be back next week for another Coco’s Corner. Mom is still trying to get me a Spa Day appointment, my ladies are very busy at the moment!

Woolly Woofs, Coco xx

Happy Thursday Everyone! I thought I would do a fun #Throwback Thursday today.

Above our Darling Treacle aged One Year!

Above our Darling Coco aged One Year!

Coco has got such a different personality to Treacle which has made it easier in some ways getting over Treacle’s passing. She is such a little character and so, so different to all our other Airedales too. They have all had their own personalities of course but Coco really is in a league of her own!!!!

Also found out it is National Puppy Day today! Always a bit late with these things. Anyway here is Madam when she was little and of course Darling Treacle.

I have been working all day today and so will be doing home jobs tomorrow. I have plans for the weekend, some spring cleaning, some sewing hopefully, some baking, who knows. I will take each day as I find it!! Tomorrow is Book Club Friday and I can say I am really enjoying my current read.
