New Tricks!

Cora here! 

Today I learned how to lay on command! Now mom is trying to get me to shake, I don't balance very well yet so every time I've tried I fallen over. It's ok though, mom says I'll get it eventually!

I'm also doing better at not potting in the house. Mom and sister are teaching me how to ring a bell when I need to go outside, and I remember to do it MOST of the time! But sometimes I get to playing so hard I forget to ring the bell (then mom and dad get really mad at me).

That's all for today! I'll leave you with some pictures of me in my favorite sleeping spot!

 

Because everybody loves pictures of boxers!

Mom and I went for a car ride the other day. Don't worry, these were taken when we were stopped at a red light.

Obviously I love to hide in things. Here's me asleep in the coffee table hiding from sister.

 Here's me hiding in the bookshelf, waiting for mom to take me outside.

Here's mom and I playing during her lunch break.

 I like cuddling with dad on the couch.

 

Cora here!

Hi everybody! Cora here! My sister FINALLY let me on the computer so I can talk to you guys!

I just celebrated my 10 week birthday with a trip to the vet (gross), but I'm getting bigger. Mom said I'm 15 pounds now so I'm going to be a big girl!

My first trip to the vet was very exciting...

They took my temperature and a few other things, but I slept through most of it.



On the 2nd trip to the vet, I already knew the drill and even though I wasn't happy about it

I was a good girl for mom (because they told me how disruptive Cali is at the vet so I don't want to be like that).

 

 

That's all for now, but I know mom has more pictures of me, so I'll try to post them later.

 

-Cora the puppy 

I have a new TOY!!!!!

Ok, so last week mom came home with an extra kennel and food bowl, and for the life of me I COULDN'T figure out why she would want me to start sleeping in a smaller kennel. Although the two food bowls were a total plus.

....I now know what they are for.

This past Friday mom and dad came home with a new toy for me to play with!

 

Mom said her name is Cora. She is almost 8 weeks old and she is a boxer just like I am!

 

This is the best present I've ever gotten! I loved her right from the start! We played and played until she was so tired she passed right out.

 

Mom says I play a little to rough with her, but I don't mean to! I'm just really excited to have a sister! I have been trying to do better though. On her first night with us, she told me that she really misses her brothers and sisters and when she started crying, I laid next to her kennel until she fell asleep. I remember mom and dad doing that for me when they first brought me home (and they both look REALLY tired) so I wanted to help them out and let them sleep.

 

Boy does Cora cry A LOT! It's mostly during the night though, during the day she will sleep all over the place (under chairs, tables, the couch, her kennel) and she never says one word! But as soon as the sun sets, she wants to be anywhere but that kennel.

 

Speaking of under the table....

 

 

 

She has started to hide under the coffee table. Which is total bull because whenever I walk by it she will JUMP OUT, bite my ankles, and then hide back under there where I can't reach her! It doesn't really bother me to bad (don't tell her that though) and I like to play with her so she feels more comfortable here. The picture above was after about an hour of the "ankle games" as mom calls them (Eye roll).

 

She's so little, I like when she sleeps next to me. She tells me it makes her feel better having a big dog

like me around to protect her.

Well I wouldn't let anybody mess with my little sister! Only I can pick on her!

Now that there are two of us, I'm sure mom will have a lot more on her hands to take care of. Which means I should have more time on the computer (since she wont have time to use it).

I also head that little Cora has a date with the hated Vet tomorrow (haha at least it's her and NOT me). I'll try to get her on tomorrow afterwards to tell her story. I don't think she can type yet though, so I'll probably have to write for her.

Goodbye for now internet people!

I LOVE THE PARK!

Dad was out of town this weekend, so mom and I got to spend a LOT of time together. Which is cool because she's my favorite.

Anyway, she took me to the bark park on Saturday and we played fetch A LOT, which I LOVE.

 

I also love dropping my ball in the water bowl and playing bobbing for tennis balls!  

 

 

Sunday mom was really tired so I just hung out with her around the house reading, watching tv and taking a nap.

 

 

Mom and dad have been spending a lot of extra time with me lately which is really nice, but I'm starting to think something is up.

 

I've heard comments like "the other one" and "when the puppy gets here" and I wonder what that means?

 

Oh well, I'm not going to ask, I'm just going to enjoy all of the attention!

 

Until next time friends

I has a leaf!

I brought mom a leaf to make her feel better!

 

 

 But then I ate it...

 

 

 It did NOT taste good!

 

 

And then I felt bad because I ate the present I brought mom 



When mommy doesn't feel good...

Nobody in the house feels good, especially me.

Last week mom had surgery because she has been having breathing problems. She talked to me about it before hand, but I didn't realize how scary she would look (don't tell her I said that) or how much she wouldn't be able to play with me :-(

I was really scared when she got home because her face was wrapped up. I got my pacing and crying out, and then I made sure I was there for her...

Because I know she would need lots of cuddles to get better. We took a LOT of naps together over the week, which was nice.

 

 

I also made sure to check mom every 30 minutes or so just to make sure she was ok. No matter what I was doing, I would get up, check the temperature of her forehead with my nose, and then give her a little kiss before laying back down. She told me I was a good nurse! Well duah mom, you always take really good care of me, so I have to take care of you too!

The one cool thing about moms surgery was that Grammie came to visit and keep me company! Every time she comes to visit I try to get her to give me food.

 This time she had pringles, I was REALLY close to getting one. But I struck out again...



Mom is doing a lot better now, and she can breath which is really good! I'm also glad to say that she can now get up and move around a lot more. I can't wait until she's cleared by the doctor so we can start going running together again!

Later guys!
