It's Been a Hot One

It's been a hot week so far. In the 90's and near 100. I can't believe last weekend it was cold and a bit rainy. My how the weather changes! Coco knows where to go though. Right by the fan. He actualy tries to *EAT* the air coming from the fan. Smart guy. It is so cute to watch. Is this just a Coco thing or do your babies do this too???

Sorry for such a short post.....My camera has decided not to turn on....again. It is getting frustrating! I think I need to send this one back and get a new one. Once it decides to work again I will be sure to post a few pictures of Coco and his fun with the fan!

Hope all is well with my bloggin' pals ;)

Candy

Rock candy. Addiction? Maybe. OK, yes, it's an addiction of mine. One of very though! I haven't ever seen it like this before though. I got this one at Target in a pack of 10. They are all clear and taste like watermelom. SO good!


This is the face that Coco gives me when I have to put him in his crate before I leave. Doesn't he look like he is saying, "How could you leave and not bring me along??" I give him a Kong though and it keeps him occupied for a while. He *LOVES* his Kong!

By the way..Does anyone (using blogger) have to type in a "word verification" now before posting their posts. I didn't have to until recently. Guess it's a new blogger thing??

The 4th of July...Already?

It's still May, but I guess Home Depot thinks differently! Look what was in the front of the store today. A beautiful American flag made of flowers! Someone spent a lot of time on this. It was beautiful.........


Speaking of America......CAMO time. I thought since it was CAMO time at WillowBelle's it should be over here too. LOL. Here are my new cargo CAMO capris. Yes that is Coco's cute little nose in the picture.....He had to sniff them like always.


A close up of Coco's face. Is that a smile or what????

Today

Coco thought he looked like a stud in mommy's sunglasses so he wanted to be sure I posted this picture of him on his blog today................. (He actually hopes the Pug baby we saw yesterday, Cloe, sees this. LOL)
This is the new bone I got Coco yesterday. It is so big. He really likes it though. It is made for smaller breed dogs like him to hold onto. It has a bigger end so he can hold it between his feet while he chews. I like this picture, he looks so cute!

And this is for my Flower Pal (aka www.pugposse.blogspot.com)...... See, it's your bush, only in my yard really BIG. Ours has different shades of purple in it right now. Its a nice bush, I think you will be happy with yours! See how big it could get when it grows freely?? Insane! It needs to be trimmed a bit.

And sweetie pie Coco, waiting for his ~DINNER~ tonight. He was looking at me like this while I was getting his food out. "Mommy, Please hurry up, I am hungry!"

It was so cold here today. Yuck. Where did our sunshine go???? I think it went over to New Hamp. for the day ;) It was a great candle day, nice and toasty..........This is my favorite candle....... (it's upside down. I can't seem to turn it around.)

Pug?

Guess who Coco and I saw today?? A Pug baby. Yeah, a Pug! Today was Coco's day to go to the Vets for his last annual shot and as we walked out, who else walks in but a lady and a little Pug puppy in her arms. She looked just like little Belle as a puppy, maybe even smaller. She was precious. So...I got to see a Pug in person now! She was just too cute, her name was Cloe. I wish I would have had my camera with me! I would have never expected to see a Pug there! Since I have so many Puggie friends this was a perfect post ;)

Flowers

Since the yard is showing lots of color lately...Here is another one of my flowers! This one is so pretty. It is pink with white in the center. Flowers just amaze me. I can take endless pictures of flowers and Coco!
Coco looking out the window. This was before he saw a bird walk by. It was a tiny little baby bird, just learning to walk. I don't think it could fly yet. There is a nest in the tree outside the window and just a few days ago the eggs hatched. So....we have a family of 2 birds and an occasional mom outside the window. I tried and snapped a picture of the baby, but even though it couldn't fly...It could walk...Fast! Every picture I took was just a blur. Anyways...here is Coco enjoying the view!

Happy Sunday!

Well look what popped up in the yard! I don't remember planting this.......... (but I don't mind it being here!) It is such a deep red.

Food and Toes and Porkupines

Tonight's quilty pleasure for me was a nice bowl of Strawberry ice cream. No...I did not make it myself from the Strawberries we are growing in our yard. LOL It came in a nice box from the market. I got it at Henry's health food store so that must count for something!

Here are my new sandals! What do you think? I love them. Just got them last week in time for this sandal kind of weather. Recognize my pink toes with white dots? I did them the same way as the first time. Hey if it works...why change? And...The pink makes my toes look even tanner!


Sweet Coco playing with his porkupine toy. It is the ugliest toy in the world but he just loves it. It is so funny to see Coco carry this toy around since it is nearly as big as he is!

Being Cute

Coco being extra cute on the couch playing with one of his favorite toys :) He will play with that toy for hours sometimes just pressing the squeaky! Then.....He'll bring it to me and have that look on his face that says "Throw it. I am ready to play fetch!"

Live, Love, Laugh

Well Lisa got me in the sign mood today, so this is my creation. Not sure if you all know, but my favorite saying is LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH. I have a few signs with this saying on it around the house, and a frame too with the saying on it. I am pretty proud my work of art though. I printed it out on photo paper and I am going to frame it. I love Coco's ear hair in this picture, in the air with a bit of a flare to it. So this was a good picture to use. With a little Photo Shop editing, framing and adding text, this is what you get.............

Mother's Day

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's day and enjoyed yourselves! We all went down to Sandy's for the day. Just kidding! But we went down to our beach about an hour away so I thought of Sandy for sure! We went to a nice seafood brunch. The view was spectacular! I wish I could look outside my window and see the water everyday like this.

Cannons, the restaurant.

The AMAZING view from our table.

Look at these deserts. They were edible! Leopard and zebra prints on these little cakes. I thought this was very creative. They looked better then they tasted though!

This was the twirly road to get to the restaurant. I got a great shoot of it from the deck! I couldn't believe we had to drive up that to get there! I didn't think it was that high until I saw it from this angle.

Coco's Bath

Today was Bath Day for Coco! It was so hot here today that I think Coco liked his bath since it was refreshing. Now he is a nice clean Maltepoo that smells like Coconut Shampoo!

Are you ready for your bath Coco?

Here is Coco playing with his towel after his bath.

He loves to growl at the towel. It is so cute!

Close Up

I snapped the cutest picture of Coco. His ears look so tan in this picture. He looks like a girl very much in this picture. (But he is proud of it so no worries!) Take a look at his tail too.............. (I took that pic before his haircut, but his tail is just as long now). Each time he has been groomed, I've had them leave the tail long. Zoom in too, you can see every little hair on the tail. It's the only place on his entire body besides his ears where you can still see a bit of apricot from his puppy coat! (Because they have never been fully cut like the rest of his body) We are growing Strawberries right now.............There are a few flowers popping up with tiny little green strawberries inside! In a few weeks they should be red. I am excited, just in time for strawberry smoothies for summer! I will be sure to take pictures of them when they grow. But........I don't think they will be as red as Lisa's! I just hope they taste good, LOL.

More Kong Adventures

As to continue a tradition of TV watching and Kong eating, here is Coco tonight enjoying his Kong. This time, we were watching the weather chanel to see what it will be like tomorrow. It was up in the 80*'s today and it should be near 88* tomorrow! The kind of weather you get a tan in by just dumping the trash! LOL

Kong Night

Tonight while we watched "House" on TV (Which by the way was a very sad episode. I don't know why I like that show so much!) Coco enjoyed his Kong. It was so cute how he got "into" it. He was so proud of himself once he got it out! I snapped a few cute pictures of his Kong adventure.................

"So Mom.........Where's my Kong? I'd really like one!"

Here is Coco......Happy with his Kong!

Here's a close up of Coco's new bone. Boyish don't you think? :)

Favorite Picture

This is my favorite picture of Coco. He was just 12 weeks old when I took this picture. (He is one year old now.) Can you believe how dark he was! He was actually an apricot color when we got him as a puppy. Now, he is what you would call WHITE. I find it such a beautiful thing how his coat color could change this much.

Toes and More

My camera is working today! I woke up and the first thing I did was see if it would turn on....And it actually did! I have the oddest camera. The weird thing is this is a relatively new camera at only 6 months old. I think if this happens again I will send it in and they will just have to send me a new one! Anyways, here is an adorable picture of Coco. He looked so cute begging for his Beggin Strips Treat today after our walk. I just had to snap this pic of him!

Beautiful flowers in our yard. SUMMER is here!

And, my toes! My pink toes with white dots. They aren't usually this "out there" but this weekend I thought I needed to make them look more summer-y, so this is what I created. What do you think? I did them myself. Toes I can do! Hands...That is another story. I "have" to get them done! :0]

My Wonderful Camera (Not!)

Hi all! Well...............No new pictures today. I went to take a few good pictures of Coco today and my camera did not turn on. I thought oh, nothing too bad, I will just change the batteries. Well, that didn't work! So I have no idea why it is not turning on. It's done this a few times before and kind of fixes on its own so I am hoping that will be the case this time too! For now, here are 2 of my favorite pictures of Coco. The first one was of him on his first birthday last December. We didn't have a blog then, so I thought I should post it! The second picture if of Coco posing for the camera a few weeks ago. I actually sent that pic in for a photo contest, but he didn't win! Some Beagle won (not that I have anything against Beagles, but up against Coco, he should have won!) And Lisa.........You can expect a picture of my toes once I get my camera to work! :o) Nothing like yours all colorful, but they are pink with, well, I won't say right now. Then you won't be surprised when you see the pic!

Favorite Things

Here are a few of Coco's favorite things. A pretzel shaped bone is currently his obession. As you can see, he is almost done with the right half of it! He also likes (no, LOVES) Beggin' Strips treats. They are bacon flavored and he will do anything to get one. Dance on his two back feet, sit, shake, etc. Anything. He just wants it in his mouth. Yummy! Bacon.

Beggin. Bacon. Strips. YUMMY.

Half eaten compressed rawhide pretzel. YUMMY.

Today

Coco wanted a Close Up of him on his blog! So here it is....

There's a treat in here somewhere....I know it....

Coco LOVES finding treats in hard to reach places. I put a treat inside an old jacket (just a small piece) and it will take him 5 minutes to find it. He has a Kong too, but this is my version! This time I was smart enough to capture the moment of him beginning his search (above).
