Best. Stick. Ever.

Just ask Koko...

Just 'Cuz

Extraneous Adorable Dog Picture

Koko at her perkiest! I must have had food. I love how her collar looks like it matches the wall. This was taken with my new cell phone. It's a pretty good picture and it's got this great pixilation and technicolor.

Comfortable Much? or Letting Sleeping Dog Lie

When I moved into my house, I intended to get a sofa, but in the meantime put my futon in its place. Then I got Koko. The futon became hers. It started with her sleeping on it (see the sheet and little blanket? vain attempt to keep it somewhat clean.)
















Next it was her sitting on the top of it to stare out the window and wait for me when I leave the house. Now it's just devolved into her sleeping on the mooshed down part. I've given up trying to keep it "fixed" and suitable for human habitation. The only way to get it back into any sort of shape would be to lay it flat and pound on it. I've put the idea of buying a sofa on hold for now. I guess if this is the worst Koko does, I should be pretty grateful!

Guarding the Backyard

Koko likes to spend a lot of time outside. Fortunately, I have a nice backyard where she can loll in the sun and protect the world from squirrels - mostly in that order. When it's warm enough, I just leave the back door open and she can come and go as she pleases.
When it's cold/windy/rainy I'll let her outside and close the door behind her. She still wants to check out the backyard, but doesn't necessarily like being in the cold and the rain.Such was the case the other day when these pictures were shot. She's taken to sitting on the back steps so she can survey her rhelm, but the house protects her from the wind. That is until I open the door and let her back in again.

These pictures were taken from my kitchen window and the weirdnesses are reflections from inside. Don't forget to take in the beauty that is the mossy astroturf on the back steps.
