Pink Polka Dot Thoughts

Sorry, Mom...

My silly dog. I got up in the middle of the night last night to use the bathroom and came back to this. He absolutely REFUSED to move. What a brat!

After a lot of convincing, he finally moved over, but good grief...I guess he needs his own pillow. He has his own blanket already! Spoiled dog.

Pink Pony Down

R.I.P. pretty pink pony. I don't know why Cooper the dog hates you so much, but he finally took you down.

You'll be missed.

Woof!

That's my Cooper. He'll protect me from anything! (Unless you have Beggin' Strips.)

It's a Tough Life...

...being a dog...

The Princess and the Dog

 

I babysat Princess Sunshine today. Cooper has met her many times, but she was here longer than she's ever been. Showing his true personality, he decided to make friends and this is exactly how it looked. He dropped his favorite squeaky basketball on her leg and then waited for her to throw it.

He was oh, so patient, too! He just didn't understand why she didn't throw it to him. Just give her time, Coop. Pretty soon, she'll be running you ragged.

(Yes, I laughed so very hard when I realized he was waiting on her to throw the ball. Mr. Polka Dot and I were both almost in tears!)

It's Raining, it's pouring...

"If I bark loud enough, that back wiper will turn on because I'm a big bad dog and I scare it."

Yes, that's how Cooper thinks...woof woof woof!

Do you find these pumpkins scary?

I don't know if I've ever mentioned that I have a neurotic dog. If you didn't get the sarcasm in that statement, go read a few posts about Cooper.

He's ran from my new refrigerator, hid under the bed for no reason really and lately, his latest "fear" seems to be my little pumpkin tea light holders that I have on our entertainment center.

These pumpkins have been there for three days or so, but for some reason, this afternoon, he suddenly decided to take issue with them. He started barking and it went on for what felt like hours. Maybe it wasn't, but it sure felt like it.

Finally, after letting him sniff them and telling him they were NOT toys and they wouldn't hurt him, he got over it. At least it seems that way.

He still gives them an evil eye as he wanders by. At least he's not jumping and barking, I guess.

Crazy dog! I could understand being afraid of the witch, but the pumpkins? Really?

Cooper from the back

Cooper attacking the rear wiper. Now just to get a video of this. It's hilarious!

What a life!

Here's my Cooper boy all snuggled up for the night. That's what I should be doing. Sorry for the quality. I had to sneak it with my camera on my phone!

Wouldn't it be nice to just lay down and sleep with the biggest worry of your life being whether or not the big bad dog from out back can get into your yard?

Ahhhh....what a life!

Cooper and the Bully

Cooper is a big, brave dog when there's a fence between him and other dogs. Tonight, we found out he's not quite so brave when the dog he likes to woof at makes it into his own yard.

Our yard is completely fenced, so we often leave him out for a bit by himself. He usually only stays out for 15-20 minutes at a time and will come knock on the door. Yes, he literally knocks on the door with his head when he wants in!

Tonight, Mr. Polka Dot let him out and 5 minutes later we both jumped and ran to the door when we heard him yelping and letting out what is his "I'm hurt cry." I had no idea what was going on. We both ran to the door to see him cowering against the front door with the dog out back nipping at him.

I opened the door and Mr. Polka dot shooed the dog away and went out back to investigate. It turns out the dog had made a hole in the fence and apparently decided to come visit and be a little bully about it in the process. Mr. Polka Dot chased him back through the fence and warned him to leave our baby alone. ;)

These dogs do nothing but bark all. day. long. If they're outside, they're barking! Cooper doesn't like their barking, so he will go out back and bark at them which I think is Cooper language to SHUT UP. Tonight though, he got a little scare.

He was really scared, but there wasn't a mark on him that we could find. He sat on my lap a few minutes and then was ready to play in no time.

Tomorrow, Mr. Polka Dot will be fixing the fence and Mr. Cooper will be glad he came through his trauma unscathed and his mommy felt so bad for him that she fed him some extra turkey for a snack.
