Almost Had It

I got caught with one of the door pillows.  I didn't have a chance to completely ruin it, but I did bite it pretty hard.

MY Pillows

There are so many cute pillows in this house...pillows on beds, pillows with sayings on them, Christmas pillows, doorknob pillows.  But I think they're all toys for ME! So they are all up on the shelves right now...they don't look as pretty there, that's for sure!

I Love Cardboard

I didn't want to go outside in the rain today, so I found a box of cards on the dresser and ripped up the box they were in.

Ugly ol' Plant

The carpet was being cleaned, so everything in the family room was put outside on the patio...including the plants.  I never liked the big one that's been growing for years, so I dug it out of the pot and shredded it.

I Thought It Was Real

I saw the lizard on the table and bit it's tail off! It turned out to only be colored rock, but I still tried to chew it up.  I don't know why they took it away from me...

Would it help?

So every time the fridge opens, I look in to see if there's something for me.  Today, I saw that a wine bottle was on the bottom shelf at just the right height for my face.  I tried to lick it, but the door slammed in my face!

Let Me Out!!!

Since I learned how to ring the bells when I want to go out, if they don't hear me the first time, now I stand there and BANG THEM into the door repeatedly until they listen!  It's fun to do even when I don't really need to go outside! HAHAHA

Soft and Comfy

I like their bed MUCH better than mine.  How could I resist?  But they yelled at me and now I'm in trouble AGAIN!

Oops

While having one of my running fits in the house, I ripped the sofa.  I'm in BIG trouble now!

I Want Attention!

Ann went to the store and Kevin was ignoring me, so I grabbed a tote bag off the shelf and chewed through the handle.  Then I got a pen and chewed it up too!

I Just Don't Have to Go!

So I've learned to be stubborn now. Not that I haven't been all along, but now when they want to take me outside, I sit down on my bum and won't budge!  Even if they try to pull me, they can't get me to move.  It's pretty funny.

Ruined It

I spilled some food while I was eating and it somehow got under my placemat.  So I just dug through it and ruined it.

No Nap Today

But I got a new toy and you HAVE to see it!  Look!  Look! 

Missing Anything Lately?

Kevin was out in the yard cleaning up today and found something I had buried a while back...He was mad, but it was only A PAIR OF ANN'S SWEAT PANTS!!!

I'll chew on anything!

The antique record player needed some refinishing anyway.  But I was bored and decided to chew on it's legs.

A Quiet Moment

Everything is quiet, so I decided to take a nap.  I'll make 'em think I'm a goner!

Dirty Face

It rained today, and I played in a mud puddle!

Chew, chew, chew!

Is there anything I won't chew up?  In case you can't tell, this is a guitar pick...Ann took it away before I could finish with it!

Really?

They got me a new chew bone, which was really hard.  They thought it would last for a long time, especially considering what the label said.  But I showed them! This is what I did in the first fifteen minutes!  I completely chewed off one end and started working on the other!

Bored in the Heat

It's very hot outside, so I stay in the house most of the day except when I go out to do my business.  I chewed up my big toy so they took it away and only left me with two small ones to chew.  BORING!  So I started chewing on a box that was in my room.  They got home before I pulled it all apart, but they still got mad at me for the mess I made.

I Like Cherry Tomatoes

Today I found the cherry tomato plants in the yard.  I'm not sure if the tomatoes were just fun to pick off because they came off so easily or if it was that I just found a new taste treat.  But I had fun pulling them off the plants and playing with them for a while before I ate them.  Kevin said it didn't matter since the plants were "done" anyway, but Ann tried to chase me away and told me not to eat her vegetables.

Couldn't Resist

They had been gone all weekend, and I was very good while they were gone.  I hadn't chewed anything up in several days!  So I saw this book on MY couch and just couldn't resist!

Party Pooper

I brought a friend in the house and was playing with him.  All his legs tickled my mouth so I was throwing him up in the air, when suddenly Kevin took him away from me. He never lets me have any fun!

They Could Put Me to Work

I always carry things around in my mouth, whether it be my toys, the pillows or my blanket.  I have taken all the sofa pillows and made them my own. So here I am with one I'm carrying around. It gets in my way when I walk, but I still manage to get where I'm going.

A Quiet Moment

Every once in a while, I sit and watch tv, especially when the dog shows are on. I can see them and hear the barking but haven't quite figured out why they're in that box.

Mud Pie

There was some trouble with the sprinklers outside, so it made a big mud puddle.  Nobody said I wasn't supposed to play in it, so all I did was come inside afterward to play with Kenny.  I still had it on me, but a lot of it came off when I shook myself to get dry.  Kind of artistic, don't you think?

Are they talking about me?

They put up this new sign...I'm not sure if I like it or not.

Crazy Racer

I was doing my laps around the back yard like a crazed kitty, and I lost my mind and ran into Ann again.  I don't mean to knock her over all the time, but I forget what I'm doing and she always seems to be in my way!  So why is she mad at me?

I Want Them All

I took Kenny's pillow and the sofa pillows too.  I like to chew on them, but am learning that they are only to lay on (how boring).

Another One Bites the Dust

Got another toy that was supposed to be strong, but I bit off all the tips with no problem!

Let There Be NO Light

Really???  How can a dog eat a nightlight? 

Fresh veggies

Kevin bought some vegetable plants and put them in bigger pots yesterday.  He put them over by the wall where they would get some sun and some shade, and then put a little fence around them to protect them.  But did he really think that little fence could keep me out?  I went right up to them, stuck my head over the fence and knocked it in, and I ate one of the squash plants.  It was yummy, so why are they mad at me?

Another Feeder Bites the Dust

The birds were sitting on the bird feeder, making it drip all over the patio. So Ann got another kind to put there, and they put this one on a hook under the tree so the birds could still come and sit on it.  It was low enough so I could get to it, so I played with it the very first day and bit a big hole in it!

Learning All the Time

I've been a little better this week.  I think I understand a few commands now, and I'm working on learning a couple more.  I forget fast until there's a bone waiting for me or I'm in trouble.  But I'm learning all the time.

This is not your room!

They tell me all the time to stay off the couch.  They even squirt me with water if they see me try to get up there.  But that's where the pillows are...I chewed up my own bed already.  They make me get down, but I sneak up there every night.  I like it, it's so comfy.

Tired Out

So I got a new toy...really.  Ann says she should have just gotten a tire for me, but she got a new stronger toy that is supposed to last a while.  She put just a bite of peanut butter inside it and that kept me busy for a long time trying to get that out.  I've still chewed and chewed on it and it still looks good and is one piece.  So everybody is happy.  But I'm all tired out tonight.

Beanie Baby Collection

So today I chewed open another box and found what I thought were more toys!  I was so excited and couldn't decide which one to play with, so I chewed on several!  First I ripped off their tags, which now I know to be an important part of each one...oops.  Then I pulled the eyes off two others and sucked on two more. So many beanies, so little time!

What a mess!

I'm REALLY in trouble now!  Kevin has talked about giving me away, but this is the first time Ann has said that she might too!  How was I supposed to know that what was in the baggie was an old ink cartridge??  You can see what the baggie looked like after I was done with it, but you should see the carpet!!!

Pretty Purple

I found a pretty purple toy that was hard and just my size.  I thought it was a chew toy so I took it!
Kevin found it and took it away.  It turned out to be a pill cutter, whatever that is.  I could have cut my mouth really badly if I kept chewing on it.  But I didn't know...

Brotherly Love...NOT!

I don't know why Kenny likes to sometimes play with me and then other times he growls at me.  I walked by and wasn't really even that close to him, and he just nipped my leg!  Now I'm bleeding.  :(

Found It!

Ann took away the pillow when I began ripping it up.  So I just went and got the other one!

When I got in Ann's purse, she didn't know that I also took her contact lens case out.  It was bright and hard, so I thought it would be fun to chew on.  Too bad it still had her contacts in it (even though they were old ones)...I think I ate one before she found it with me outside in the dirt.

The dirty pillows got thrown away and Kenny and I got the (newer) old ones.  The stuffing felt just like what my toys had in them, so right away I had to rip my pillow open to check!  I was right, and I got it all over the floor.

Today, I brought in a big hunk of ROOT to show everybody!  They're still trying to figure out what I dug up this time.

I got into Ann's purse today and ate her gum, paper and all.

But it's Mine

I thought it was MY blanket, but everybody yells at me when I rip it up! How come?

A New Toy

I've been good for a couple days while everybody was gone, But now that they're back, I found something else to do. Kevin got several big bags of dirt for the garden, but I played with two of them when he left today.

Just Another Day

The family was gone all day long and Kenny wouldn't play with me. But I kept myself busy finding things to rip up.

New Bird Feeder Wrecked

So I was looking for something today and I knocked a brand new bird feeder off the dryer. It hadn't even been outside once yet. But I like to chew. So I pulled one of the food stems out and must have swallowed it. I tried to get another one out, but they heard me chewing and took it away.

Thought it was Mine

My family was gone, and I was looking for my toy. I had to climb up on the stereo speakers, but I found a nice, sparkly, ribbon wreath that Ann had just taken down after St. Patrick's Day. It was so pretty and frilly, I thought it had to be a present for me. So I played with it for a long time and ripped it to shreads before I knew it, and left it for my family to find when they got home. Ann said she was so happy she got to use it one whole time.

My Bone Even Gets Me In Trouble

I got a nice big bone today and took it outside to chew on. Then I buried it, so I got to come back inside since they thought it was all gone. But I dug it up and brought it back inside when no one was looking, and got mud all over the carpet.

I Like to Chew

I get new toys a lot, but I chew them to bits in just a few minutes. I thought that's what I was supposed to do, no? I just got a new one, and I stole my brother's new toy too. His made noise and I like music, and he doesn't care much about them anyway. You notice I said, "his made noise..." I chewed it up in fifteen minutes, a new record for me!

Where I'm From

My name is Coco, and I want to welcome you to my blog!
I am just over a year old now, but I have some serious issues. So I think it's important for you to know where I came from.
I lived at a rescue facility in Anza, called Furry Acres. They took good care of me there, and I had a lot of friends. But I always wanted to play and nobody wanted to play as much as me. Somebody adopted my brother and sister, but I didn't get to go. So I just learned to keep my toys with me and play anyway. I learned to carry them all around at the same time.
They couldn't seem to decide on a name for me either. First they called me Jilly, but I had big floppy ears, so soon they started calling me Hefi (for Hefulump), which didn't seem very nice. I could be mistaken, but I think they were making fun of me. So when I came to live with my forever family, Ann and Kevin didn't want to call me Hefi and they thought my ears were cute. So they decided to call me Coco, I suppose because I'm brown. Now they sometimes call me Cuckoo Coco, why, I don't know. I just want to play all the time, just like always.
I decided to start this blog because I seem to get in trouble a lot. No one can believe some of the things I do, so I thought it might be fun to share them with you. I hope you enjoy my posts, and feel free to comment anytime. I have an older brother here, but he likes to rest a lot, and I like attention!
