Congratulations, ABBA!!

Hi Friends.

It's me, Koobie's Mom.

On Monday night, Anni-frid Lyngstad Ruess, Benny Andersen, Bjorn Ulveaus, and Agnetha Faltskog (ABBA) were inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, an honor they truly earned.  I have been a huge ABBA fan since I first heard "Waterloo" in 1974 and I was ecstatic as I watched them being inducted.  While ABBA's melodies are catchy and the harmonies of the women singers are gorgeous, it is the powerful mezzo-sorprano of Anni-frid Lyngstad that is the group's strength, I think.  Though years of serious and careful listening (this was long before I got Koobie), I developed a deep admiration and appreciation of Frida's awesome range, soothing tones, and seemingly unlimited vocal talents.  And, if you watched the induction ceremony on Monday night you saw that Frida, at age 64, is still quite beautiful and carries herself with dignity and class.

Frida also has a fascinating life story, from her birth as an illegitimate German/Norwegian war baby deep inside the Arctic Circle to the tragic death of her daughter in a automobile accident in New York State.

For a special treat, watch the following video of Anni-frid early in her career, before she joined ABBA.  You'll see what I mean.






Thank You for the Music!

Let Me Tell You About My Day

Hi Friends,

It's me, Koobuss.  Let me tell you about my day.

It really started yesterday.  Well, last night.  I'll explain.

Late yesterday afternoon my mom decided to brush me since she didn't get to it on Saturday, my usual brushing day.  To make a long story short, (and that's exactly what happened to my fur) she grabbed the scissors to snip a few hairs and before you knew it, most of my hair was either on the floor or the table, but not on me.  YIkes!!  Her excuse was that since it's getting warmer now,  I really didn't need all that fur and I would feel a lot better without it.  We'll see.

Now that most of my fur is gone, I can't hide behind my curls anymore.  My mom saw that my nails, especially my dew claws, needed to be clipped, and that I could afford to lose a few pounds.  No more excuses about having big fur.  Cry, cry.

So this afternoon we went out.  Our first stop was at the drugstore.  My mom had to pick up a couple perscriptons and I had to stop to see the owner-dog, Harley.  Harley and I used to play with each other when I was a puppy.  We don't run up and town the aisles anymore like we used to.

Harley didn't even want to play with me.  My new hairstyle must have scared her off.

Ah..HA!  We meet!!!

Harley retreats.

She's no fun anymore. 

Time to move on.  Let's go!

Ohhhh...  We should have stayed where we were.  Now I'm here at Pet Smart.  Mom brought me here for them to do my nails and "fix" any damage she may have done when she was scissor happy yesterday.

My face says it all.

Then, after all this, she went shopping for some "health" food"  WHAH!!!!!  HELPME!!!!!!!

Love and Lots of Koobuss Kisses,

Having It All

Hi Friends,

It's me, Koobuss.

Slowly but surely the snow is melting.  At least ours is.  Cindy's and Tia's snow across the street doesn't seem to be though.  Anyway, I don't know if I like this or not.  While the sun and the warm temperatures are very pleasant and feel great, I would like to keep my kool, kushioned seat on the snow.

Do you think that I can have it all?  Sun and warmth and kool, soft snow to sit on?

Love and Lot of Koobuss Kisses,

Koobie

Waitin'

Hi Everybody,

It's me, Koobuss.  I'm sitting here looking for spring.

Have any of you seen it?

Where is it already?  I'm tired of waiting.

Well at least baseball's back and things are improving.

Love and Lots of Koobuss Kisses

Time for Some Color

Hi Everybody,

It's me, Koobuss.

By now the story of all our snow is old news.  Everybody around here, and possibly where you live too, is  tired of hearing about snow and tired of looking at snow.  So, I am going to change the subject, but just not yet.  Please bear with me for one more snow story.

The morning after our last snowstorm we had some strange tracks under the tree in our front yard.

They were rather strange "foot" prints.  It looked like someone with short legs that were very close together, or someone who slides on their belly.  And, we either had a lot of these things, or one very busy one who made a lot of trips going to wherever it went to under the snow.   It also appears that the base of the tree was the center of attention.  After looking at this from my perch on the couch near the front picture window for much of the day, my curiosity was aroused.  So when I went out later that night I decided to check them out.  Bigify to get a better look.

I plowed through the snow to get a better look.  Guess what I found!  Let me just say that I've made the area safe from moles for a while.

Now, for some other stuff.  My mom thinks that most of the pictures that she's taken lately are drab and devoid of color  So she made this slideshow from some of her older photos just to brighten things up a bit.  

Love and Lots of Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie
