I convinced mum that to make up for not blogging for a whole week, to blog again today. Not that anything exciting happened, except that just as mum was settling down to do the crossword in the newspaper, her friend Betty (who used to live next door) invited us for coffee!!! Well, given that mum's Keurig does not seem to be working, and she had to make coffee in the drip machine and that it was not tooooo hot for me, she decided we should go. There was a very nice man sitting at the only outside table that was in the shade, and he offered to share with us. He was very nice and he filled my dish with the water mum brought. Betty and her dog Fred (a pom who is now a certified service dog) arrived and she and mum had a really nice time. Mum then went to the grocery store and, among other things, she got me some more Frosty Paws. By this time it was almost 9 am and the ground was getting hot,, so mum and I hurried home. She learned a couple of weeks ago that when she puts her chair on the highest speed, I have to run to keep up!!!!! So she puts it on 3 (instead of 4) and we make it home just right!!!!!!
Well, I had a nice drink of water, and am gonna rest now (it is about a mile each way to the store/coffe shop where we meet) and so I have to wear my Gentle Leader so I don't pull mum too much. Hoopefully will have picsures soon.

I CANT BELIEVE IT
I cant believe it has been a week since I last posted!!!!!! If anyone is interested. mum downloaded Windows 10 onto the Lenovo (the newest pc) and then had problems getting to things she wanted to use!!!! So, Uncle Vic came and got it so that he could set it up for me. In the meantime, I was using the ASUS (which she bought about 18 months ago). Well, every time she tried typing on that one, it did all sorts of weird things!!!!! So she pretty much gave up until she got the Lenovo back when we went to Uncle Vic's on Friday. I had a good time with my buddy Coco II and, of course I slept lots, but mum did not sleep very well. We came home early yesterday morning and mum was so exhausted she slept and watched TV most of the day. She said she is feeling better this morning so I convinced her she had better post on my bloggie or peeps would think I had done a disappearing act!!!!!!
I had been chatting with Madi's mom on my smartphone and had brought up the problem some of us puppers were gonna have getting to BAR. She mentioned that Blogpaws is going to be in Phoenix next year and that maybe some of us Southern/Southwesterners might get together there. Mum and I would like to know if anyone else is interested. I know it is in June (when it is very hot and stormy cos of the Monsoon), but we could make our own fun!!!!!
I do not have any pics to post today -- hopefully mum will get around to it in a day or two and if we do not have too many thunderstorms, maybe I wont hid in the bathtub as much.
Will catch ya later

NOT THE POST I WANTED
Blogger is giving me some problems -- I start my post and blogger at it up!!!!! Anyway, Mum had PROMISED that we would announce the winner of my Gotcha Day drawing but, as usual, she hasn't!!! Mind you, she has been having major back and tummy problems, so I will forgive her this time. Also, when she took me out this morning, the weather didn't help any -- it started to rain heavily while we were out -- fortunately she had an umbrella, but when we got home she felt quite chilly so turned off the a/c and went back to bed to get warmed up. This is the FIRST time in about5 months that the a/c has been turned off!!!!!!
We have had some pretty bad thunderstorms lately, so, of course, I have been spending a lot of time in the bathtub!!! Mum said she will post some pics in a day or so!!!
Mum is pestering me that she wants to write something: Over to Mum
Cookie's mum here -- If there are any puppers who wear booties when weather is either very hot (or cold), any suggestions for getting you pup to cooperate in putting them on and keeping them on???
Back to Cookie:
Mum is trying to be a good dog owner with the booties because when it is hot, I really cannot go out because the ground is tooooo hot for my paws -- so any assistance will be helpful (to her, not me).
Anyway -- Mum said that she needs to go lie down again.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR GOOD WISHES
Cookies' Mum here: Thanks to everyone for your good wishes on Cookies Gotcha Day. I know I don't have to give any prizes, etc., but everyone in Blogville has been so great, I just wanted to.
Back to Cookie: Yeah, thanks from me to. I didn't do much on my Gotcha Day, just sat around with mum and reminisced about the past year and also remembered Cody (who went to the Bridge just a few days before I came to live with Mum, Sixpence and Tigger III). I did get some extra treats yesterday (including a Frosty Paws)!!! Mum had wanted to take me to Udall Park this morning, but I kindly let her sleep till 5:30 am (which she says is too late because of the ground getting too hot). She said if it cools off early evening we may go!!) It's the first Wednesday of the month and many of the grocery stores have discounts today!!
Oh, I must tell you a silly that Mum did yesterday -- when we came back from my doing my business at the dogpark here, Mum decided she had better charge her wheelchair (she forgot the night before). Anyway, she had taken me off the leash, grabbed the cord for the charger, grabbed me by the collar and put me in a "sit-stay". Then she realized what she was trying to do (charge me up -- which I don't need, bol), got a silly grin on her face and said "sorry" to me!!!! (She said I could tell the story and would not lose out on treats for telling it.)
Anyway, she has the names of everyone who posted a comment over the past week, and will do the drawing in the next day or two. The kitties have said they will not do the drawing cos it's not for them, so it will just be Mum and Me.
Have a great day everyone, and again, thanks.

YA HOOOOOOO -- IT'S MY GOTCHA DAY
I have been reminding mum all morning that it is my Gotcha Day and finally got her to stop reading long enuf to get this blog done!!!!!
Remember, if you want to be in the drawing -- make a comment on this blog and it will be added to those since last Thursday for a drawing. Mum says that she hope she has not gotten anyone's hopes up cos it will not be a very large pressie -- she just wants to acknowledge that I have been with her for a year. Mum says that she still remembers and misses Cody, but she luvs luvs luvs me. I gave her a bit of a hard time at first -- every time the door opened I would run off. The first time I did this Mum was very glad that all the gates in the complex were closed -- she had not had time to put tags on me!!!! After that day, until she got me my own tag -- she put Cody's tags on me so that people would know who I owned. I took off a couple more times -- it got so that she would put me on a very long lead at home so I could get around, but not out! I did take off a couple more times, but after getting attacked by those two nasty dogs and having to go to the vet with a couple of nasty bites, I have not taken off. The lady whose two dogs attacked me said that I bit her, and she called Animal Control. The lady did not press any charges against me cos her dogs were not licenses and she would have had to pay much more than Mum in fines. However, because she SAID that I bit her (and mum couldn't prove otherwise), I had to be quarantined, fortunately at home, but it was a nuisance and again cost vet bills for me to released from the quarantine. As I say, I have been very good lately -- when they were working on the leak and coming in and out, I did not try to take off. I also don't pull as much since mum uses the gentle leader when we are going anywhere but the dog park here in the complex!!
I will try to get mum to take some more pictures that I can post here.
(If you notice, I am being quite polite to mum -- I don't want to lose my treats -- and she has promised me a Frosty Paws as a treat for my Gotcha Day).
Well, if I want to get a treat, I had better let Mum post this

couldnt find the post
Well, mum said that the post she THOUGHT she had scheduled for yesterday musta disappeared into the black hole we have in the apartment!!!!!
What's that mum? Oh, she just looked at t he date and realized that today in 1961 (3 August 1961) when, as a teenager she had her open heart surgery in London. She said that it was very scary because there was still a fair risk, but she wanted to go on a Kibbutz in Israel and the docs said she couldn't go unless she had the surgery. (She ended up coming to the US instead, and has only been there once on holiday) She had to be out of work for 3 months when she had the surgery -- she was in hospital 2 weeks before surgery; 4 weeks after; 3 weeks convalescent home and then another 3 weeks before she could go back to work!!!! Nowadays, she says, she thinks that people who have that kind of surgery are out of the hospital within a week!!!!
Anyway, on to more cheerful stuff -- don't forget to enter a post before tomorrow night at midnight so you can be entered into a drawing for my gotcha day.
Mum said she will help me with that!!!!
Well, everyone, have a good evening
