First Book

Today I found the perfect first book for Ellie, I'll Teach My Dog a Lot of Words. Given that she's my daughter, she's bound to be talkative and bossy. I'm sure Coco will be the recipient of many school lessons as she pretends to be a teacher.

Go Blazers!

Hello, Coco here! Today mommy and daddy did something really cool! They went to the Blazers game, ate lots of food AND brought me back coupons for two free Chalupas! Yippee! The Blazers scored over 100 points (116-87 to be exact) so everyone there got free Chalupas. I don't really know what Chalupas are, but I know they are food and they come from Taco Bell so I'm excited!

Mommy didn't take her purse and thus forgot the camera at home. But we took some photos when they got back of them in their Blazers' colors. And check out my Blazer-esk new collar they bought me last weekend - all black and dead sexy.

Thanks to mom's ingenuity, they got a special take-home cup that also came with refills much cheaper than buying two sodas. And note those beautiful green pieces of paper - my tickets to Taco Bell heaven!

Mom! You didn't count to three!

Those Chalupa coupons were within my grasp...

Mommy tasted yummy! Like polish sausage, soda, licorice rope, snow cone, chicken tenders and french fries. Eatin' was good at the Rose Garden!

Mmm...

I think I got all the leftovers.

Oh wait, there was a little more right there on mom's mouth!

Don't worry, she's not trying to choke me. She's just trying to keep me still for the photo. What can I say, I'm an active guy.

P.S. Thanks go to mommy and daddy's wonderful real estate agent who gave them the amazing tickets! Section 103, Row K!

Pug Love

So as not to cause Coco to feel too unloved despite his blog having been taken over by his mom, here are a couple of cute photos of him cuddling with me last night while we watched Lost online. And a few of him with his daddy.

A Little Music Appreciation

Tonight the pug and I have been spending some quality time cuddling in bed while I look up various baby things online because I had a long day and am super tired. I have iTunes playing through random songs for a bit of a musical interlude. Ellie seems to appreciate the music. Nearly each time a new song starts, she kicks a few times. And then occasionally she kicks at key points during the songs.

Glad our little lady has a good sense of music appreciation already...or at least that I can pretend she does.

An Update from the Pug

Well, somehow it seems that I haven't found much time to blog lately. Mom has been feeling ill much of the time (though the nausea seems to have mostly passed in the last few days) so I've been being the loyal pug that I am and keeping her company. This morning she slept in until 8:00 due to being extremely exhausted despite lots of sleep. I, again being the loyal pug that I am, got in bed with her for the last hour and a half and then proceeded to keep the bed warm (in case she wanted to come back to bed) until 9:00.

Other than sleeping a lot, I haven't been up to much. Just chilling and eating my most recent bone, which mom gave me on Saturday but keeps taking away whenever they aren't home. I've decided that it might be slightly immature to hork down the last knotted section in each bone (yes, I actually swallowed large portions of bone whole quite a few times) and actually untied that knot as well this time. So I'm working on that right now. Pretty good stuff.

I'm really not too sure how I feel about this whole baby thing. I mean, mom's looking a little on the chubby side and for some reason they keep talking about this baby. I really wish they'd talk about me more. I mean, sheesh, I've been in the family for much longer than this baby character. And I believe I stated when Joel was here visiting that I was okay with not having a baby around for a while. So whose idea was it to bring this baby character into the mix?

Have I mentioned that I'm clearly being neglected? When she's feeling really sick, mom even sometimes rubs her own belly instead of mine! What is this world coming to?
