My aunt, uncle, grandma, three hairy-cousins and one fur-cousin are visiting for two weeks and I couldn't be more happy and exhausted at the same time.
I know this should be an occasion to post many pictures and adventures but I just can't afford to distract any minute from begging for food and getting crumbs off the floor with so many people around!
I'll be back soon!
(Now off to a 5-minute express nap)
Hello friends!
Last week was our company Christmas party at mom's boss' house. The list of guests was long, but the highlight of it was that it included "1 dog". Mom's boss was kind enough to consider my enjoyable presence at the party. If only my bossy sister wasn't also invited... she kept holding my leash, while I tried to beg (then harass if the beg didn't work) all other guests.
For my good behaviour I got an early present today. I was bottlefed with organic berry yogurt while playing "doll".
We wish you all a very special day today!
Love,
Coco and family
It's cold this morning. What should I wear today? Mom and I like the few cold days we have down here to wear boots (mom) and clothes (me).
Hello to all!
I think I am in big trouble.
There's a rumour at home about me not behaving lately.
Then there's pictures of my sister petting a big black pug yesterday.
Am I getting a pug sibling for Christmas? Don't do that to me, Santa. I need all of those bread crumbs on the floor for myself.
*whispering*
Thank you friends for the congrats on my gotcha day. I noticed that I received more hugs and kisses from mom than daddy received from her on any anniversary of theirs. Dad makes fun of mom because she tends to remember dates and the clothes she was wearing on special and not so special ocassions. Then he makes fun of her because mom remembers the day they met, the day they first went to this place, the day they went to that other place, the day he said this and that, the day she purchased that over there... and in the end, the don't celebrate any of those.
Anyway, my family decided to stay home all day yesterday... to let mom hug me all she wanted, I guess? Now, between you and me, it was torture. We had run out of carrots and green beans. Everytime they opened the fridge it was dissapointing. I couldn't even beg, it was almost empty! I couldn't nap, I couldn't get any snacks, I couldn't relax following everyone's steps...
And to make things worst, I had to babysit today.
*sigh*.
Hello friends!
Six years ago, mom and dad found me at a pet store, and I became mom's best Christmas present ever! That's what the t-shirt I am wearing says, and it features a pug! (Special thanks to my little sister for lending me her t-shirt.)
Hello friends,
Mom is about to have a nervous breakdown. She blames stress at work, lack of sleep and all the other normal responsibilities an almost 40-year old adult should know how to handle but she doesn't. But THAT is not the real problem.
The problem is that she finds me cuddly. She loooves to hug me, kiss me and pet me - and I used to let her do it. She swears it makes her stress go away.
Now, I've never been the type of guy that snuggles or kisses or sits on a lap. I like to be on my own; I like to focus on my upmost goal - food. With the addition of my little sister to the family, I've become interested in sports as well - stretching, jumping, hunting... and I aim to perfection.
Obviously, that leaves NO room for additional activities, like hugging, kissing or cuddling. Whenever mom calls me, I do not come. If she hugs me, I step back. A kiss? Maybe. Two kisses? Too much. I need all 4 senses focused on my goal.
Any advice on how to deal with an aging, overwhelmed,overbearing mother?
Thank you very much.
