8 things about Coco - We've been tagged!

2007-08-01T12:39:00.000-07:00

Baxter tagged us! Yeah :) 8 THINGS ABOUT COCO THAT YOU MAY NOT (or may) KNOW!

~8 things about little Coco~

Uno ~ Coco's full, registered name is Coco Chanel. I always knew I'd name my Maltepoo Coco Chanel!

Dos ~ Coco has many nicknames. Some do not even resemble his name of Coco. A few are...
Coco Puff, Co-Chinnna, Pogo Puff, Nay Nay - My favorite nickname! (don't ask me HOW I came up with that one! It was the funniest thing, all of a sudden I realized I was calling him that. It sounds so adorable and...he actually answers to it!)

Tres ~ Coco loves loves loves to go for walks many times a day!

Quatro ~ Coco can dance on his two hind legs.

Cinco ~ Coco loves to play FETCH. Some dogs simply are not "fetch" dogs, but Coco is.

Seis ~ Coco has some of the BEST blogging buddies around, one lucky dog!

Seiete ~ Coco loves to eat his new treats from Trader Joes. They are called Jerky bites for small breeds. He loves them!

Ocho ~ Coco now knows how to lay down on the command of ~Down~ I'd like to think he did it to please me...But I know it was b/c I had a treat each time I was teaching him... :)

We TAG anyone who'd like to play...
I hope all of our bloggin friends play along!

Here's the rules...
* Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
* At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
* Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Coco got groomed today!

2007-07-26T19:09:00.000-07:00

Coco got groomed today! The groomer fluffed him and brushed out his coat, and also clipped it a little so it is shorter for Summer! We opted for a trim instead of a full on shave. He looks like a stud! I wish you could feel his coat...it is so soft.
Look at how dark his tail is...Hard to imagine that his ENTIRE coat was that dark Apricot when he was a puppy! Now he is all cream like a little snow Ball. :)

We will miss you Tiny.......

2007-07-22T23:55:00.000-07:00

Our friends at RagusPug lost their 2nd puggies, Sweet Tiny Sunday night....
Tiny, after your sister ChiChi passed away, we did not expect to loose you so soon after! Our hearts ache for your mommy and daddy And family right now. You were such a sweet little pug and such a daddy's girl I have heard. We miss you a lot already and I will miss seeing your beautiful face....I know you and Chi Chi are having fun together across the bridge....but, we will miss you so much sweet girl.
http://www.raguspug.blogspot.com/ Please tell Tiny and ChiChi's mom that you are thinking about her during this very hard time! It is hard enough to lose one baby, but they lost two within a matter of a week! Hugs sent your way Sandy....

Darling Tiny.......forever in our Hearts..
Some of my favorite pictures of you Tiny:

Fetch!

2007-07-20T21:40:00.001-07:00

Get the bone, Coco! He plays a good game of fetch, I tell ya! He gets really "into" the game.

Sandy you are not alone

2007-07-20T21:28:00.000-07:00

To our Dear Sandy, you are not alone and we are thinking of you often and missing sweet Chi Chi right along with you. I really like this picture of her. It shows her beautiful, adoring little face. Hang in there Sandy!

Chi Chi

2007-07-18T13:27:00.000-07:00

We are so saddened to hear that sweet Chi Chi crossed the Rainbow Bridge......
Please let her mom know you are thinking about her in this sad time... Here Chi Chi we will miss your precious face. I am glad that I got to Meet you through your mommy's blog. I know that she loved and will always love you. You will always be her little girl, her daughter, her first born. I know you're looking down watching over your family right now...hopefully your mommy can feel the love you are sending down to her when she is sad. Im sending a KISS up to you Chi Chi. Run free sweet girl. We love you.

in tears,

My KONG Boy

Coco LOVES his Kongs!!! Notice how long his coat is getting. I brushed it out yesterday...But it is almost time for a hair cut again! I just love his coat this long though.

This is Coco getting ready to watch "The Age of Love" with me tonight.... Is anyone else enjoying that show? Very interesting... Kind of a twist on The Bachelor....

2007-07-07T19:02:00.000-07:00

LISA

I know I am not the only one that is *totally* excited to see what Lisa's secret is!

A new puppy... a little BOY this time... That is what I am thinking but I can-NOT wait any longer....

All in agreement, comment now. :)

LOL

Seriously Lisa... I am soooo excited to see! I can't wait! This is huge!

Out-takes

2007-06-30T19:36:00.000-07:00

The out-takes are almost as cute as the "good" photos. ;-)
I thought I'd share the out-takes from yesterday's photo shoot!

Coco just wasn't in the mood to smile in this one... (but it's still very cute!)

Ok, this is MY fault.... I had the camera on focus. (not flash)
Lesson learned - don't use "FOCUS" on a MOVING object... AKA: your dog. They, unlike things like flowers, tend to MOVE. ;-) Happy summer everyone! It was a good 90-95* today... On my walk with Coco, I was sweating the entire time. Coco and I both needed cold water after that!

Coco's Summer

2007-06-29T13:24:00.000-07:00

Hi guys!!!

Yes, we are here! Sorry it is has been so long. We are doing great and I hope everyone else is, too. I took some pictures of Coco today, in a very summer-themed photo shoot. He is so good!

He lets me take a gazillion pictures of him and he just sits there. I do have a treat (bone) in my hand while taking the photo's...Maybe that helps? ;-)

Coco sends his LOVE!

Blog-A-Versary

2007-05-11T17:19:00.000-07:00

It has come to my attention that while I was away in 'Blogging Blues / Lazy No Posting Land' I missed the celebration of my 1 YEAR BLOG-A-VERSARY! April 4th, 2006 - my very first post.

I can't believe it.

ONE whole year. It flew by.

Here is my very first post. http://cocothemaltepoo.blogspot.com/2006/04/coco.html

At the time Lisa was my only commenter...and Lisa, you are just as cherished today as you were then!
(and all of my current commenters, too! We luv ya all!)

Well, the Blog-a-Versary Par-tay can begin now. :o) Yeah Coco & Me!

We're Here, We're Here!

2007-05-05T17:05:00.000-07:00

Hi guys, We're here and well! Sorry it has been soooo long since my last post...I don't have any reason or anything...I am just a lazy blogger (lately?). Hope all is well with everyone!! Here is a picture of Coco, he is smiling. :o)

We miss everyone, too!!

**HUGS**

Love, L & C

Bunnies Galore!

2007-03-28T10:52:00.000-07:00

We have lots of Bunnies around here - They LOVE to run around in our yard and annoy little Coco! He will see them and run up against the slider (window) and jump up against it, and bark. They just FREEZE when they see/hear him and do not leave/move until he goes away from the window. The Bunnies are pretty funny!

I snapped a few pics of this bunny last night. As you can really see in that last Up-close picture....he FROOZE still and did not move!

They all have cute little white talls - "Cottontail Bunnies"
It is rather freaky though when they just stare you down!

Messy, Messy, Messy!

2007-03-24T12:07:00.000-07:00

Uh oh... this is what Coco's toy cabinet looks like when he is looking for a certain toy! He has so many toys, they all topple out during play time! :) I just cannot resist buying him more though!

Coco's Toy Cabinet

Smile!

2007-03-21T17:42:00.000-07:00

Coco sends a "Hello" to everyone! I took this picture last night as he was looking at me with his sweet little eyes. :)

2007-03-11T18:34:00.000-07:00

Coco loves to play fetch! This is his "play position" (booty in the air)
Is anyone else feeling the heat? It was in the 90's today! Looks like Spring/Summer is coming early, and that is fine by me! I do like winter (I really do) but after awhile, the dark and gloomy winter days get old, and it is nice to be HOT again! Back to tank tops! I *promise* I'll share some SUN with my east coast blogger friends :o)

Coco helps with laundry

2007-03-02T16:29:00.000-08:00

This picture was taken before Coco was groomed/PUFFED out, but it is such a cute picture, I'd hate to not post it! You can see a pair of my pants I was folding...Coco loves to JUMP on my bed while I do laundry & sniff~sniff all of the clothes...my Little Helper :o)

Puggie Time

2007-02-27T18:37:00.000-08:00

All of my dear Puggie Friends, of course! This is a cute little Pug baby :)

Here is Coco tonight waiting for his dinner. Still looking very fluffy from his Beauty Treatment :)

Sandy...Know that you and Chi~Chi are in my prayers and will continue to be. We're here for you.

Coco is VERY Fluffy!!!

2007-02-17T14:12:00.000-08:00

Look at my baby! Coco got groomed today! This time we just had him "clipped" (no shave like the past few times) especially since it is still pretty color here. I really, really like his coat like this! He looks like he is walking on air b/c his feet are so Poofy. I wish you'all could FEEL his coat right now....SO incredibly soft.....he looks like he is fake with this haircut! His coat is so thick. You can see the thickness in these pics, too....He is so cute!

Here is Coco....right after he got groomed this morning....

And tonight......he knows he looks good :)

Hiding

2007-02-12T17:24:00.000-08:00

Coco loves to "hide" under my "Snow" Jacket...he loves the furry hood...When I first got it, he had a real good sniffing of the fur...I think he thought it was another dog/critter/furry animal. Here is darling Coco staying warm tonight :)
