After Sarge's mom spent almost 87 hours helping me set up this blog, I am really excited to post on my own. I don't have any pics yet -- my lazy Mum has to get out to buy a decent camera -- maybe I can get her out tomorrow or Wednesday!! Anyway, here goes with more about me and my Mum:
Mum is originally from the East End of London , England and came to the US in 1962. She lived in Cleveland, OH area until 1982 when she moved to NY and NJ area. In 1999 she moved to Oakdale, CT and then in 2002 she moved here to Tucson, AZ. She got Cody in 2007 and Cody lived with her until she (Cody) developed cancer in July 2014. The lump progressed VERY quickly and within two weeks, mum had to make the decision to let her go to the Bridge.
I came to live with Mum and her two kitties (Sixpence and Tigger III) a few days after Cody went to the Bridge. I am a 5 year old lab mix. The first evening I got here, I got loose and fortunately the gates to the complex were closed, and some neighbors found me!!!! I got loose a few more times, but Mum had put Cody's name tag on me, so people knew how to reach her!!! I don't do it so often now, although I did get loose from our Dog Park here at the complex a few weeks ago and got into a fight and got a couple of nasty bites and had to stay in the apartment in quarantine for 10 days!!! But, as they say -- that is past history now!!!!
Well, Mum says she has to go get a cup of coffee so we have to close now. I will try to post on a regular basis.
Woof woof woof,

Mum was a cat person for a long time before Cody -- she says when she was working she used to work a lot of overtime so couldn't have a dog. She got involved with dogs when She moved to Tucson in 2002 and Uncle Vic moved down here from Chicago area and brought his dog. Unfortunately they had to give her to a no-kill facility and they then got Coco, who unfortunately disappeared from his home about 3 weeks ago. Coco and I both Luv kitties - my two "sisters' grew up from babies with Cody and Coco had our brother Cubby.
DeletePS on your lack of photos...MOL MOL when we started blogging mom had about 10 photos of me....now she had 87 thousand!!...More than she has of my human sister when she was growing up.

Hi Cookie in Tucson! I am so pleased you dropped by my blog because I have been so excited to meet you! Welcome to Blogville. We are a crazy bucha bloggers but we have each others backs as well.
ReplyDeleteGuess what?!?!?!! I have an auntie living in Tucson. If I visit her, I will be sure to let you know so we can arrange a play date. You do get along with Pugs, don't you?

I have never met a pug (at least so far as my Mum knows)!!!! But I look forward to meeting you in the furs. BTW, I know that you are in the Bay area -- Mum has a sister and niece living in Walnut Creek. We hope to visit them and hope to see you then. Just let me know when you are going to be in Tucson and what part of Tucson they live!!!!!
DeleteSounds like your Mom has moved around a bit too - our Mom has as well from England to Australia to the USA to Italy and back to the USA and she's lived in about 10 States here.
ReplyDeleteOnce your mum gets a camera, Cookie, watch out! It'll be in your face ALL the TIME. One of the prices we have to pay for being so cute and having a blog.
ReplyDeleteSHE is actually from Virginia, but came to Australia....the opposite of Reilly and Denny's mum!

Hello and welcome to you, Cookie!
ReplyDeleteA previous NY/NJ resident, eh? That's about where I live now...well...Ny/Nj AND Pa. Mainly Pa and Nj but still...NY is pretty much a stone's throw away!
Got out a few times, eh? Bit of an explorer! I like it! BOL
Welcome to Blogville, Cookie. You will have a grrrrrreat time.
ReplyDeleteWAgs,

Nice to meet ya! I's been to Tucson a few times before!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Blogville Cookie & mum!! We're thrilled to meet you and we just know you're going to love blogging and making new friends. We are Wallace and Samuel, two Scottish Terriers, and we live in Johannesburg, South Africa. Feel free to pop past our blog when you get the time.
ReplyDeleteNow about the photos and camera - about 80% of the photos on our blog were taken with mom's cell phone camera, so tell your mum she doesn't necessarily have to splash out on a new flashy beast...unless she want to of course.
Bark at you soon!
Wally & Sammy
We are so very happy that you decided to move to Blogville, Cookie, and think you will be so very happy!
