You be the judge…

Ok  fellow 4-leggers, I need your help.   What do you think this piece of furniture is?  

I say it’s a super comfortable  raised dog bed.  Mom says it’s a ‘Cocktail Ottoman’ and keeps putting a tray thing on it.  Why do humans have to complicate things?

I don’t know what an Ottoman is and I’m not allowed to have cocktails.  Therefore by default, this is a DOG BED?  How could this be anything other than a bed?  It’s the perfect shape and size, its super comfortable and smack in the middle of the family room.

Did I mention that it has wheels?  Yep!  You can use your head to push it over to the sofa which then creates the ultimate in doggie comfort.  Hmmm…. did I just invent the “Ultimate Adjustable Dog Bed”?

Please post your vote!  I have to prove to the human that I should be allowed to hang out here.  In the meantime, I am claiming my spot……. until food is served.

P.S. No note from the human on this post.  It’s my blog so my point of view is the only one that counts. – Coco Princess

Thanksgiving in June? Yep!

Hello again fur-friends!

As many of you know I was very sick a couple of weeks ago.  I had to have surgery for something called a mesenteric torsion.  It was very scary and mom is still watching me very carefully.  While Mom is still pretty freaked out, I am feeling great and acting like a puppy.

Since my surgery, Mom has gone back to feeding me a diet of 75% homemade food.  Last week, I had Chicken and pumpkin.  YUM YUM YUM!  This week I am having Thanksgiving!  Yep, mom made me a batch of turkey and sweet potato.  YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!  I am loving this meal and wanted to share it with you so your human can make it for you too. It is super easy and really cheap.

1. Ask your human to purchase turkey legs or turkey wings at the store along with a sweet potato;
2. Put the turkey pieces and the potatoes into a baking dish with a little water;
3. Roast at 350 degrees for about 1 hour;
4. Let cool and separate the meat from the bones;
5. Mix the turkey and sweet potato, serve alone or on top of your regular food.

I am not allowed to have dry food but that’s fine because Mom is not a fan of kibble.  To make sure I get the right nutrients I am eating Stalla and Chewy’s freeze dried raw and I am trying out Happy Dog Food, which is yummy, as 25% of my food intake.

The best part!….. Mom is testing turkey and sweet potato ‘ Thanksgiving Crispies’ to add to the snacks in our store.  OMG!  I can’t wait.

I hope your human makes this for you soon.  You may want to suggest that they stop at the market on the way home from work later.  Don’t forget to love and obey your human it just makes life easier and keeps the trainer away (BOL).

*Note from the human: Neither Coco Reports nor Dog Pack Snacks received any compensation from Stella and Chewy’s or Happy Dog Food.  We mentioned them in this post because Coco is currently eating food from those companies.

 

Take Your Dog to Work Day!

Friday June 24th is Take Your Dog To work Day.  I get to go to work with my mom almost every day for over a year now because she mostly works from home.  So, after breakfast we commute a few steps to the office and get to work.  I am in charge of curling up and thinking deep thoughts and keeping an ear out for the UPS truck.  Mom does work stuff. 

Last year I really got into Take your Dog to Work Day and decided to try out the laptop.  I just could not get the printer to work.   I think you need thumbs to print.

This year mom says I’m not allowed to work because I’ve been sick.  So I need your help.  This year I need you to go to work (or pretend to) and have your human take a photo of you “At Work”.  Post your photo on the Dog Pack Snacks Facebook Page with the title “At Work”.  I’ll review the photos and sniff out a winner of a Surprise Snack Pack.  Contest ends on Sunday June 26, 2011.

Don’t forget to tell your furry friends about this by sharing on your Facebook page.  You can also tweet it out below with this phrase..”Celebrate Take Your Dog To Work Day with Coco from @DogPackSnacks”.

Mostly, have fun and remember to obey your human.  It’s the best way to get treats.

Happy Easter!

  Hi – I’m Coco Princess and this is my first blog post. My human does a great job typing it for me. I wanted to get started on a special day and today is Easter Sunday so today is the day.

What makes Today a Special Day? I had my own private Easter egg hunt. What a great time. Check out the photos. I hope you and your human(s) had a great day.

— Don’t forget… life is best when you love and obey your human.
