Nice to Be Knee-ded

Hello,

My name is Pedals.  I have been living here for a while, but in the past few years I fell out of favor for some reason and was relegated to a lonely existence in the dark, dank basement.  But then, all of a sudden, I became extremely important.  My status was elevated to the point where I was finally rescued from my isolation in the dungeon and relocated to the brighter, warmer, cozy confines of the family room.  Now I play a prominent role in the therapy and recuperation of one of the residents.  And the cute looking furbag that lives here hasn't even tried to bite me yet, although I don't think she likes me too much.  She has been snooping around my pedals.  It's a good thing that she's not a boy, or she would have lifted her leg and watered my moving parts fur sure. 

See ya around,

Pedals



Hey, Pedals,

My name is Koobuss and you are right.  I don't like you.  Don't you even think about taking my mom or my blog.  You know what they say, Pedals, "What goes around comes around".

No Love or Koobuss Kisses for Pedals,

Koobie

Back to Reality

Hi Everybody,

It's me, Koobuss.

We're finally back from the intense competition of Mango Minster!  It was great fun.  We made a lot of new friends and had a marvelous time.

But, now it's back to reality.  Back to the mundane life of the winter.

I'm hungry.  Let's check out this place.  I hear it's pretty good.

Mango Minster 2012 Entry

Hi Everybody,

It's me, Koobuss.

This year my mom decided to enter me in Mango's Mango Minster 2012 Competition.  She looked over the several categories, trying to find one that applied to me.  That wasn't easy.

For instance, I am not a working dog.  I don't have a job and have no intention of ever getting a job.  My position of Chief of Security here is merely a figurehead.  I try to do as little as possible.  So, I can't enter the Working Stiffs category.  And there is no category for couch potatoes.

 There is very little adventure in my life, and I like it that way.  Unless you count sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.   I'm good at that, but I don't qualify for the Adventure Animal category.

I'm not much of a Cracker Dog either.  Me, I prefer Bully Sticks, myself.  They are almost as dry as crackers, and I like their elongated shape.  The coating is pretty good, too.

 This is serious business.

I always know where my bully stick is.

Now for the Bad Sports group.  I can get a little grumpy sometimes, for reasons only known to me.  But I always get over it quick, so I'm not really a bad sport.  

(Oops, sorry for the off color.  Bad photography on this one.)

So, friends, there is only one category left.  I'm just "Too Darn Cute".  So, that is where I will compete.

Thank You for your consideration.

Love and Lots of Koobuss Kisses,

She Did It Again

Hi friends,

It's me, Koobuss.

Yesterday my mom was playing with her camera again.  She does that a lot.  It has something to do with all manual settings.  She's trying to relearn something she already knew thirty-plus years ago.  Anyway, since we had a little bit of snow on everything, she set her camera at a small aperture and a real fast shutter speed to take pictures of the snow on the deck.  I was standing alongside her watching intently when she noticed that I was looking up at her.  Since I looked adorable, as always, she hurriedly pointed the camera in my direction and snapped before I could move.  (I try not to let her get too many photos of my face.  I'm shy like that.)  Anyway, she didn't change her settings back to indoor picture taking, so this is the picture that she got.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Well, as luck would have it, the puter saved the day, somewhat.  She did something called PP (post processing) in Apple's Aperture 3.0, and she was able to come up with this.  So, she saved the photo, at least a little bit.  It's not great, but it's still better than nothing, so I hear.  If you bigify it, you will see just how awful it really is.

Now you know why I don't pose for her.   Sheesh....

Love and Lots of Koobuss Kisses,

Gotcha Day 5th Anniversary

 Hi Friends,

It was five years ago today, at the tender age of 10 weeks, that I came to live with my forever family.

In honor of this occasion, I have written a song.  Since I cannot write music, only lyrics, you will have to add your own tune.

I Am the Dog

by Koobie

verse 1

My name is Koobuss and 

I am the dog

I am the dog of the house

I am the dog

I am the dog

I am the dog of the house

verse 2

The dog is the boss

The dog is the boss

The dog is the boss of the house.

I am the dog

So I am the boss

I am the boss of the house

Hehe...

That's all I have so far.   I think I'll rest now.

Wake me in time for the pawty.

To Koobie

From her human family:

Thank You for making our lives so much better these past five years.  You are a real sweetheart and we love you.

Love and Lots of Kisses,

Mom and Grandpa

 

Koobie's Christmas Poem

My Favorite Things

by Koobie

I'm sleeping with my bully stick

And my purse.

I'm dreaming of my bully stick

It could be a whole lot worse

I hate to have an empty purse

It means that I'm broke

It makes me want to curse

But then I will choke.

Santa Claus comes tonight

And I have an empty purse

He better fill it with delights

Or he will need a nurse.

(or maybe even a hearse.)

HA! HA! HA!

I mean HO! HO! H0!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Love and Lots of Koobuss Kisses,

Koobie and Family

True Colors Thursday -- Green

Hi Friends,

It's me, Koobuss.  

Today is True Colors Thursday and this week's color is green.  After going through my mom's recent photos, (October, November, and December 2011) I found a few with some green.  So, here goes.  I hope that you like them.

This is the green on our local high school's football field.  They tell me it's an artificial  surface.  I never heard of artificial grass.  What will they think of next?  Amazing...  

Here is the green from my mom's favorite pro football team.   (I'm just glad it's not Eagles green, if you know what I mean.)

And, this is some of our Christmas decorations.

That's all for now.  I know I'll find a lot more green after Green Day is over and some other color is being featured.  Sigh...

Love and Lots of Koobuss Kisses,

Koobie  

New Winter Hat

Hi Everybody,

The other day I was playing with some of my friends and they told me that it's almost winter.  They said that I had to get ready for the cold.  These guys know all about that.  As you can see, they are fully prepared for the cold.  Just look.  One has earmuffs on and the other has a warm hat and scarf.

Since they know all about winter, I thought that I better take their advice.  So, I went shopping and found the perfect winter garment for me.  Now I'm all set for whatever the winter weather brings my way.

What da think?  You like it?

Love and Lots of Koobuss Kisses,

What I Did Today

Hi Friends,

It's me, Koobuss.  This is what happened today.

Gwandpa and I went for a ride this afternoon and my mom did some shopping.  Here we are at our first stop, the drug store.  Mom went inside while Gwandpa and I waited in the car.  They have a dog in the drugstore.  Her name is Harley.  When I go in the drugstore me and Harley start running around up and down the aisles.  Harley wags her tail and knocks stuff off the bottom shelves.  All the customers laugh.  Harley's father, who is the pharmacist, and my mom have a fit.  Now I have to wait in the car whenever we stop at the drugstore.

When we finally left the drugstore we drove down the mountain.  We stopped at Target and Best Buy and then we ended up here.  This is one of my favorite places.  This is one of the goody stores.  They sell dindin here and lots of tweats.  I don't mind waiting in the car here because I know that Mom's going to get lots of good stuff and we will have fun when we get home.  : )

WOW!!  Look what we saw on our way home!  Wonder what all that smoke is from.  Humph.     

Maybe somebody left their bully sticks on the grill too long.

I couldn't look anymore to see what all the smoke was from because I had to watch the road.  That's a very important job, you know.  The assistant driver has to bee alert at all times.  

The End.

What?  You were expecting a better story?  Sorry.  After all, I am a dog, and I don't tell secrets.  Hehehehe...

Love and Lots of Koobuss Kisses,

Koobie
