Healthy Food

Chanelle is a little bit concerned about my diet. She says I'm fat. FOOEY! You can make a big batch of this food and freeze it for a long time if you want, and the powder supplement can be stored for a long time. I can't wait to give it a try!

Wordy Wednesday

Hey, everydoggy! I know today is Wordless Wednesday, but I thought it would be unfair to just post a picture after such a long time with no posts. So, here's what I did today! The pictures are extra nice now! Chanelle is taking Digital Media 12, and she knows how to use a dSLR now!

I went for walkies with Chanelle and her friend Kathleen! It was Kathleen's birthday, so we walked up to the pizza place near our houses.

Kathleen took a long time getting the pizza.

A LONG TIME.

While we were waiting for the pizza, we went to Pet Planet! We saw these AMAZING dog bowls!

I think I'd look smashing eating out of a blue bowl, but they're a little bit expensive! Chanelle isn't exactly sure she wants to spend that much money on dog bowls. Phooey! While we were there, we also saw some really yummy smelling dried meat patties! I kept trying to steal them, but Chanelle kept catching me! Boo!

It was a fun day! Hopefully, tomorrow I'll have an even better day!

Back from the Dead!

Channi says, no more busies! We are finally back in the blogging business!

So we're wondering, what do you want to hear from me?

Do you want pics of my wonderful self and my adventures?

Bloggies about my most recent act of stoopid?

Do you want some games?!

What? We're a little confused and out of it! What do YOU want to see?

Keep us updated!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year, every-doggy!! I have wonderful news! Channi has promised me that no matter how busy she gets, she will help me post at least once a week. I'm so excited! Channi says, this year we will have lots to blog about. She will be exercising me more so that I am slim again. She will be training me more so I can do more tricks. And she will be taking me more places so I can explore! Yay!

You might have noticed the blog has a new look. Channi decided she was going to give it a surprise make-over to make up for half a year of absence. I think it's looks great! The banner above is a tracing of the last banner photo, done all by hand with her new Wacom tablet and GIMP. And it's in our favorite colour! Also, Channi added some new pages to the blog. Click around and check them out!

Oh, joy! To be blogging again! I'm off to read some of your other wonderful blogs.

Grand Bisous!

Hiatus. AGAIN!!!

I'm sorry to say I won't be blogging or checking up on other blogs for a bit. Channy is very busy. Plus, she's gone and lost her camera! How am I supposed to stick myself on my blog without that?! I don't fit in the scanner!
Oh well. Have a lovely time in the Dog Days of Summer, everyone!

Channy had time!

Yippee!

Channy had time for me today! She carefully counted out 30 treats (my training reward ration for each day). Then she trained with me!

We worked on "Look-it-me", "Don't Touch", "Take it", "Stay", and "Come". Come is my favorite. I always run towards her full blast, even if she doesn't have treats. But she's a little bit of a perfectionist and wants to make sure I always finished the "come" by doing a "sit" right in front of her. I have a nervous scooting habit (NOT BUM SCOOTING! just a kind of seated shuffle!) that I do when I see treats, so it's a little tricky.

I already know "sit", "off" (though I growl if I REALLY don't want to get off), "in", "out", "go to bed", and "let's go", but Channy says we still need to proof those ones. Proofing is making sure your dog can perform a command in any situation. Channy says "take it" and "look-it-me" are ready for proofing now too!

Maybe, after each command is proofed, I'll put up a video of me preforming commands. How fun!

And now for some random pictures of me.

Teehee!

This has always been my most favorite way to sleep, UPSIDE DOWN! (That's not really my bed, by the way. It's just my sofa-bed in Channy's room. I sleep in a crate.)

See! I even did it the very first night I slept here with my human family.

Well, it's time for my walkies now!

Grand Bisous!

OMD, CHANNY, YOU IDIOT.

Okay, caaaalm down, Cookie. You are a Good Sport. A Goood Sport. Aaaah . . .

. . .

RAWR, CHANNY IS AN IDIOT!!!
OoooooOOOOHH! I'm so angry!

Channy, my primary people, has been such a slacker lately. She's fallen SO behind in schoolwork, that she had to take a VERY long hiatus from helping me with my blog!

Now I'm so behind on my blog reading that I'll NEVER catch up! -sigh-

I'll be giving you a summary of what I've been doing later. Right now, Channy has to go back to work. :(

I MISS YOU, SWEEPY!!!!!

Grand Bisous!

The Mango Minster Experience

Well, MangoMinster has come to a close for this year, and it was a blast. I've met new friends, gone to Key West for the first time, and I won the Good Sport category!

All of this publicity has brought more followers to my blog, and has made me a sort of . . . celebrity! To celebrate, Channy wizzed me home really fast after the Good Sport winners were announced (I say winners because Zack and Frankie count as winners) to give me a brand new look and get me ready for the press!

To my amazement, Vague wanted me on the cover of their magazine!

They also interviewed me!

MD: Cookie! Congratulations on your win!
CM: Thank you, Mary, I appreciate that!
MD: So, I hear you're a shy dog. How was it being smashed in with a group of dogs you don't even know, and then suddenly be thrown into the spotlight?
CM: Oh, I was a little freaked out at first. (laugh) So many other dogs, and, I swear, half of them belonged in the Cracker Insane category . . . (laugh) Wow. Yeah, that was a little bit . . . exhilarating, but I tried my best to take it like a trouper.
MD: Like a true Good Sport!
CM: Heh, yeah. (laugh)
MD: What did you think of that Mr. Wild Dingo?
CM: I'm still . . . not sure . . . what I think. That was just . . . wow. I think Mango was testing us Good Sports there. (laugh)
MD: (laugh) I noticed you were not in sight when the Good Sports were at that collar-optional bar. Were you hiding, or had you already gone in?
CM: Oh, good lord . . . (laugh). No, no, I wasn't going anywhere near that place! I mean, I go collarless at home, of course . . . Papa doesn't like the noise my tags make, but . . . in public?! How racy!
MD: You? Collarless? I was under the impression you were the kind of girl to bathe in your collar.
CM: (laugh) Oh, please . . .
MD: So, what are your thoughts on Juno's after show interview?
CM: I was . . . flabbergasted when I read the interview. I . . . To be recognized like that . . . like this . . . That and winning all together made me want to live like an even better Good Sport. That and, also, seeing Clive in the ring. He's just an inspiration. I'm so glad he won Best In Show. He deserves it. (V)

After Best In Show, Channy encouraged me to hold a press conference. There was something really weird going on with my hair that day. There was just this one really curly bit that wouldn't lay flat . . . I had to tie it back with a blue scrunchie. Hmmm.


Reporter: Cookie! Can you tell us why you didn't have a speech for Best in Show? Was what Mango said really true?
Cookie: Heh, well, no . . . Mango was very clever in covering it up for me, but, in the hustle and bustle, I forgot to write a speech. However, there wouldn't have been any use in that, because Clive was destined to win. I was rooting for him.
Reporter: What are you plans with Sweepy this Valentine's Day?
Cookie: Well, normally, I wouldn't say, but, I honestly don't know, so I don't see any harm in telling you that! (laugh)
Reporter: Are you going to be appearing in any other events?
Cookie: Oh, hopefully. I had so much fun!

That's it for now! I'd better make my blog rounds before it gets too late!

I WON I WON I WON!

Oh, Channy, Mommy, Daddy, Sweepy in the Phillipines, guess what?

I won the Good Sport Category in MangoMinster!
Oh, I'm so excited! I get a tea-towel (whatever that is) from JD and Max (and a donation in my name to DogTrust), plus something from the 1000 Goldens Webshop! Yay!

I'm so happy!

Cookie in the Ring!

Oh, golly, I'm so nervous! Oh, gee . . .

Mango's calling my name! It's my turn to go into the MangoMinster show ring! Wish me luck!

Click the title of this entry to see me in the ring. And, please, vote for me in the Reader's Choice!!!

Photos!

Channy found some pics that she ment to upload, but she didn't get to. But I sniffed them out with my snooter! Sit, and I'll be right back! I just need to set up the pawjector!

This is my costume for my masquerade b-day party. I had a good time and got lots of noms and love!

I didn't like the mask much, so I took it off. Now you can see me beautiful face!

Here's a better view of my cape. Didn't Channy to a great job?

While Channy was doing schoolwork, I snuck a nap in her bed, and I'm not supposed to be up there! Look, I even got my monkey puppet to snuggle with. But she caught me, woke me up, and booted me off. Not without snapping a picture first, of course!

This is my entry for the Dog Pile section of Mango Minster! I know only the stuffies on top of me count, but, since I'm so small, I couldn't fit a lot of things on me, so I decided to go out with a bang! Stuffies everywhere!!!

And this is me holding up my favoritest food (it's even better than yogurt)! LETTUCE! Channy made a sandy-wich nom and put lettuce in it, but she let me have the stalks! TWO STALKS! There was even some leaf left on them! I had a good time nomming them, but I stopped when Channy took out the camera. I wanted to show all of you my favorite food! So I posed nice with my yummy lettuce noms. Mmmm!

Mango Minster!

I unhugified it, Mango!

In this picture, I'm lovingly helping Channy with her science project by posing with it ON MY HEAD. She got a really good grade for it because her science teacher laughed really hard when he saw the picture! He thought it was hilarious! Ha ha. Even though it was humiliating, I'm glad she got a great grade. :)

More news later. I'm very sleepy and I need to go to bed.

Lovely January Day

Aaah, it's January, and it's a new year! Channy and Mommy came back from their Christmas adventure in Montreal and New York, Channy got a camera, the sun is shining, the plants are sprouting, and I've got a nice hoard of snacks and breakfast cereal in my cupboard. Aaah, life is good!

Yesterday, Channy took me for the first walk she's given me for the year! It was great fun! First, she got me all tidy and dressed up. She had to give my face a trim, because I had yogurt crusted all over it, and I looked like I had a beard! But she got me all fixed up rather quickly.

Then Channy clipped my leash on, and we jumped into the elevator and headed off!

On the walk, we saw this scary notification. Yikes! Coyote on the loose! Channy didn't like the poster, and said it was biased against coyotes and tried to make them seem evil, but I thought otherwise. Maybe she'd agree with me if it wanted to eat her!

When we got back home, Channy went back to her schoolwork. She put my pillow on the other side of the room (as seen in the first picture), but I wanted to be closer to her! So I curled up under her desk. That wasn't a very good idea.
Then Channy got some homemade bread and cheese for lunch. She finished all the cheese, but left a piece of bread. I snarfed it when she wasn't looking! bol!
Usually she'd be mad, but she thought it was a little funny, so she snapped a coupled of pictures before she took it away.

She said I looked just like I did when I was a puppy. :)

Christmas is late this year . . .

Well, Channy and Mommy are leaving tomorrow for Montreal, and they're leaving me and Papa behind. :( Channy made me a stocking, but I guess I won't be hung this year. But, she said she'll make it up to me. She said, this year, she is going to buy a digital camera! FINALLY!! She says she'll take tonnes of pictures of me all the time to put on my blog! And, when she comes home, she's going to give me my own Christmas. Sure, it'll be on the wrong day, but, who cares! It'll be so much fun! I can't wait!

Whew!

Wow! I've been gone a long time! Chanelle is going to help me blog again. I haven't been visiting your blogs, and I don't have time to go back and read all the posts I've missed right now. :(

On a happier note, I have a new website! Please check it out! http://cookiethestoopid.webs.com

Wordless Wednesday

V-log

I got the webcam working, and decided to post a v-log, but Channy ruined it. Hmph!

Party Plans

Time to get a crack-a-lackin', my friends, it's PARTY TIME!

I've just taken a peek at my calendar and realized, there's only 11 more days till my birthday! Eee! I can't wait! I MUST throw a party. All of you are invited!

What: Cookie's Masquerade Ball
Where: Ballroom 3 at the Hilton Hotel

When: The night of Saturday, October 3rd to the night of Sunday, October 4th
Wear: A costume with a mask.

Please RSVP!

We'll need a photographer for this event. Can any doggy please take pictures of everyone having a lot of fun?

Oh, love of my life!

Oh, my love! My joy! Barks cannot express my ectasy!

My package from Sweepy was delivered by Sparky and Lizzy today. (By the way, Sparky, you have re-validated my status as a runt. You're HUGE compared to me!) My heart leapt as Channy opened the backage for me (I have no thumbs, of course). Channy found her envelope first. She adores the chain purse! She thought it was a lion, but I told her otherwise. Then she got out the card . . . oh . . . it left me barkless and breathless. How lovely . . . And then the bead necklace with the little . . . what is it, a patron saint medalion? And, the piece de resistance . . . the lovely necklace, paw-picked by my lovely Sweepy . . .

Oh, Sweepy, dear, the necklaces look absolutely lovely on me. Channy will have to ask Papa if she can take a picture of me with the camera later.

-sigh-

Oh, by the way, Sweepy has a gift for you in the package too, Sparky! And for Lizzy too! Maybe you can pick it up next Tuesday?

What else was I about to blog . . . oh, yes. Channy bought me two lovely bouncy balls a few days ago! They're the Chuckit! Rebounce balls, and c'est magnifique! They bounce REALLY high, and you can put little treats in them if you want too! J'adore!

Pictures late! Au'revoir, mes amis!

Hiatus Ended!

Oh my dog! I haven't posted in ages!

Well, this stops now! I am back on the job!

Speaking of which, I need a gig! I'm so bored! I'm practicing and practicing my ballet to pass the time while Channy can't help me blog, but I have no where to dance! Oh, to be able to take to the stage . . .

Maybe I should hold ballet classes. Would anydoggy like to learn to dance?

But that won't surfise. I MUST return to the stage! Must! Rrruff!

That's it! Forget Short Biscuit (as if anydoggy still remembers I was going to direct that)! I'm putting on a ballet! Any ballet dancers out there willing to do "Swan Lake" or "The Nutcracker"? Oh, it would be so much fun!

Or maybe . . . maybe someone can start up a "So You Can Dance: DWB Edition". OH, THAT WOULD BE SOOOO FUN! Aah, I can't wait! Someone, PLEASE, DO THIS!

On another note, I was rushed to the vet, today. My beautiful face was all swollen up! I'm not sure what happened, but Channy was giving me a trim (it's gotten rather hot up here!) when she noticed three red bumps on my right eyelid. I started scratching, and suddenly the whole left side of my face swole up, and my eyes were nearly swollen shut! Oh, and the ITCHING! It was horrible! Channy put me in her backpack and rode me on her bike to the vet. They gave me some really pretty pink pills and some lotion for my eyes. I'm feeling so much better now.

But, what a problem this is! I can't seem to figure out what would have given me such a horrible allergic reaction?
