Walk in the rain

Today I walked in the rain. The sky was a dark gray and sheets of rain were pouring down all around me. The ground was wet wet wet! I ran fearlessly through deep puddles. I ran until I reached the point where I became completely drenched just like the world around me. The cold wind and wetness were strangely invigorating. I wanted to run and play and go for the longest walk ever. When I ran too far from home, I suddenly realized that I was cold. My mommy picked me up and I snuggled under her coat as she carried me home. When we got home she wrapped me in blankets to keep me warm. I fell in such a deep sleep. Faintly I hear the spatter of rain falling outside. I love the rain. Yet thankful to be inside with my blankie.

Jobs for Dogs

In my current job I am a work at home dog. I don't have any puppies, but I help to keep this house a home. I keep an eye on the cats. I bark and growl if strangers come by. I greet my mommy every day at the door. I'm pretty happy in this position, but sometimes I wonder about other dog jobs. Just curious. It really doesn't seem that dogs have many job opportunities. I read the classifieds this morning and not a single job for dogs! There are hunting jobs. I don't think I would like that. I am kind of sensitive and I don't want to see anything suffer. I do eat chicken, but only after it is cooked. I don't want to kill one myself. There are dog sheep herders. That might be kind of interesting. But there is no school of dog sheep herders that I know of. It's kind of like you need to be born into that job. There are guard dogs. Due to my size, I am more of an alarm dog. I would definately attack a burglar, but I am only 13 lbs. It would probably be hard to be accepted as a guard dog. Same situation with a police dog. I could sniff out drugs better than any german shepard. But I probably wouldn't pass the police exam due to my size. I probably wouldn't be that into police work anyway. It seems like alot of work for little gain. I guess I will just continue with my blogging. I will post pictures of myself in all of my pomeranian glory. I could be a professional dog model. That's it. I am CoCo professional dog model extraordinaire!!! The world needs more beauty in it. Me. I will be like a role model that all dogs can aspire to be.

Barkedy Bark Bark Bark!

Barkedy Bark Bark Bark! I love to bark!! I don't bark all the time. Just a few times a day satisfies my barking needs. When people walk by my house, I bark at them. If they knock on my door, I'll bark like crazy! When I hear a noise I bark. If the cat is staring at me I'll bark at her. Barking is an expression of my inner being. Barking is like a tension deep within me that must be released. Barking is good for your soul. Bark.

CoCo's Goals for Saving Money in the Recession

Most dogs do not realize this, but we are in a recession. Rawhide bones used to be a dollar. Now they are like two dollars or maybe even 200 dollars. Something like that. I don't know. The point is, they cost more!

CoCo's Goals for Saving Money in the Recession:

1. Investing in pig ear's.
2. Recycle my dog fur to knit my winter coat.
3. Snuggle up to cats to save on the heating bill.
4. Take less baths to save water.
5. Try to save at least six months worth of milk bones

My veterinarian said I have patellar luxation!

I was at the veterinarian for a routine checkup. I was surprised to find out that I have a condition known as patellar luxation. I didn't even know my patellar's were having a problem! Patellar luxation means that my kneecap will move out of its joint sideways. I found out that I am not alone. Many other small breed dogs suffer from this problem. Especially pomeranians, toy poodles, and chihuahua dogs. Right now I don't feel any pain. I'm not sure what to do. My veterinarian said he can fix my patellar luxation with surgery. I am worried about it, as I do not have any insurance. It will cost $1000 for each kneecap. The veterinarian recommends surgery on both of my back legs. That would be $2000! Sheesh. I better start saving my mommy's money!

Dogs using the cats litter box?

Dogs using the cats litter box? I have a friend that was trained to use the cats litter box. Heh. Kind of a whimpy little dog if you ask me. Being forced to use the litter box would make me want to bite someone. The litter box is for cats, not dogs. Dogs need to go for walks. You know what I'm talking about. We like to smell everything. Then are eventually inspired when the timing and location are just right. Just for kicks, I was bored the other day and decided to try it. Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't use the litter box instead of going for a walk. But in some cases, it's not that bad. I didn't climb in the litter box. I just stood out side of it and lifted my leg. I have pretty good aim. So they don't care if I pee in the house. As long as it is in a box with sand in it. Crazy humans.

My cool dog ball collection

For as long as I can remember, I have been collecting balls. Ping Pong balls. Golf balls. Nerf balls. Super bouncy balls. Tennis balls. Balls that have bells. You name it, I got it. Balls especially made for dogs. Balls that dogs aren't supposed to have. I have soft cloth balls, balls made out of foam, plastic balls with holes, rubber balls and hard balls. I love balls! If you throw a ball for me, I will never bring it back. I will take it and run run run! I am ball crazy. Sometimes I find new balls when I go for a walk. The other day I saw two little girls playing with a ball. I grabbed the ball really quick and ran all the way home. They couldn't catch me. It is my ball now.

Dogs are un-islamic? I could bite you Ahmadinejad!

The president of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says dogs are un-islamic. That is the most idiotic thing I have heard a human say. No, we are not islamic. Oh BTW, we are not jewish, christian, hindu or atheist either. Dogs have nothing to do with your religions. Why don't you just keep us out of your human neurosis? Now he is rounding up my dog brothers and putting them in a detention camp. Why?? Dogs need to suffer because some crazy human says dogs are un-islamic? Dogs are not concerned by religions. We do not discriminate. Whether you are muslim, jewish, christian or atheist. All we offer you is love. Does your G-d approve of cruelty to animals?

Beggin strips make me throw up

I think I had one too many beggin strips last night. You know how it is. You have one beggin strip, then you just have to have another. Before you know it, you ate the whole bag of beggin strips. I threw up all over my bed last night. I think I will start a new year resolution. I may quit eating beggin strips altogether. Maybe I will just cut down my beggin strip consumption. They can't be that good for you. Have you ever read the ingredients on beggin strips? Really bad. I'm not even hungry this morning. Later I'm sure I'll get some turkey. No more beggin strips today though.

I'm not attracted to dachshunds

A dachshund asked me if I would be interested in pimping out my services. She was interested in having some Pomeranian/dachshund puppies. I politely said NO! Then muttered something about my concern with the pet overpopulation problem. That was the nice way to handle it I guess. But at least I can be honest on the "CoCo the blogging dog" blog. Actually it is not so much my concern with the pet overpopulation problem. I do care about pet overpopulation, but it is not why I refused. The truth is, that I just do not find dachshunds the least bit attractive. I am an unneutered male. Yet if that dachshund was the last girl on earth I wouldn't date her. I wish dachshunds the best, and I certainly don't hate them or anything. Although I do feel that they are extremely unattractive. They have coarse short hair, super long snout and funny shaped body. Can you imagine a Pomeranian/dachshund mix? No, don't imagine it. It is too horrid to think of. I'm sorry but dachshunds are just not a pretty dog. I know that we cannot all be pomeranians. I am exceptional.

The Meaning of Life for Dogs

The meaning of life for dogs is simple. We want to be loved by our best friend. I place my head onto my mommys lap and look into her eyes. She pulls me close and gives me a big hug. She tells me I am the best dog in the entire world. That is the meaning of life for dogs. I just want to know I'm loved. Dogs don't really care about all the fancy stuff.

Wagging my tail

I like to wag my tail. My tail stands straight up and curls into my lower back. It is like a long furry bush. When I feel happy I like to bobb my tail from side to side. I am not stingy with my wagging. I wag my tail on a daily basis. Many things get my tail wagging. Including when someone smiles at me, getting a back rub, chicken livers, when my mommy comes home, going for a walk, when I am praised, hugs and kisses, bologna and when I hear them call CoCo! I am a happy dog.

Unite to help our pit bull brothers!

The time is running out for our brother, the pit bull. Now is the moment all dogs must stand up for what is right. We cannot allow the humans to exterminate or ban an entire race of dog. If you do not stand up for the rights of the pit bull, who will be there to stand up for your rights? Decisions of today become precedent for tomorrow. If it is OK to ban or exterminate the pit bull today, will it be ok to ban or exterminate the pomeranians of tomorrow? It is morally wrong to condemn an entire breed of dog. All dogs must stand in solidarity and fight against oppression for all. We must stand as one dog.

To dig or not to dig

To dig or not to dig? That is the question. I am a selective digger. Imagine a warm day out on the patio, a freshly watered lawn and plenty of soft loose dirt. Now that's what I'm talking about. How can any self respecting dog resist? Let's say you just had a bath and need to get that undog smell off you? These are times when a dog must dig. It's not always a good idea though. I don't dig concrete. I don't dig snow. I don't dig too deep of a hole. If you dig too deep you might end up in China. We all know what they do to dogs in China. Shudder. It is better to dig in moderation.

Connect with your inner puppy

Connect with your inner puppy. As an adult dog, I have many responsiblities. I must guard the house against invaders. Terrorize mail carriers. Keep the cats in line. The list goes on and on. Sometimes dog life is so fast. It is important that we never lose touch with our inner puppy. When was the last time you chewed on the couch just because you could?

No dog training for this dog!

No dog training for me. You want me to sit? I'll sit when I'm good and ready. With a face like this, I don't have to listen to anything you say. Look at my long soft hair. It looks like a big lions mane. I am the most beautiful dog in the world. Don't embarass yourself. If I feel like sitting I will. Don't tell me what to do. Sit, beg, stay, and come? Oh please. Get over yourself crazy humans.

Everyone knows I like to chase cats

Everyone knows I like to chase cats. But this doesn't mean that I do not like cats. It just means that cats are fun to chase. I would never bite a cat. Well maybe I would. OK sometimes I do, but it is only a soft bite of love. My mommy adopted an orphan feral kitten. I love to chase the kitten. She runs funny. Then she hides. When I am least expecting it she will leap out and jump on me. Then she chases me. She is not scared of me. I wish more cats were cool like her. Some cats get all bent out of shape just because your chasing them. I'm like, hello? This is a game. Please play along. Some cats just don't get it.

Today I barked at the missionaries

Some missionaries came knocking at my door today. I wouldn't stop barking until they went away. This house and everything in it belongs to me. I am the coolest dog ever. They are missionaries, what are they going to do? They have to be nice. I can sit there and growl at them. All they can say is, "Oh what a cute little doggie!" I ain't cute. I am the guard dog. Do not mess with me missionary people. God won't protect you from the fangs of CoCo!
