Cookie the Dalmatian = Wilson's Doggie Crush

For those new followers (I love you, thank you for thinking our blog is worth following!) I have to repeat that Wilson does not like dogs, or strangers. That's why I'm pretty sure his little doggie heart starts to race with love, respect and whatever else when Cookie comes around.

This here is Cookie, a ten year old Dalmatian Mix.

What a character I tell ya. She's part of the little pack of friends and their dogs that I like to refer to as the Woofles Pack. She's the eldest and currently the largest in the group, and boy does she know how to treat dogs and people. She's always willing to let people pet her and share the news with other dogs. Cookie also knows how to treat a fear aggressive dog. She does this thing where she will completely ignored Wilson until he calms down and then lets him smell her over carefully as she 'ignores' him. So far it has worked wonders for him! He's gotten to the point that when Cookies around he's more willing to come out of his shell and romp about, almost play with other dogs even! He loves to follow her every where and shows off when she's around.

We joke that he likes the older more experienced ladies XD.

If I ever needed proof of how much he respects and loves the older dog, then the last time I was with Cookie and her owner in the last few days of snow free weather would be such an example. Cookies owner walked back to toss out a poo bag and Cookie trotted after her. I sat there watching as Wilson followed a few feet behind. He went farther then I have ever seen him go from my side and I was interested to see just how daring my pup was so I stayed where I stood. He would keep looking back at me with a pathetic look and then bark at Cookie.... Maybe telling her to wait for him or come back? She of course ignored him and went her merry way. Wilson finally gave up and sat down (I like to think that there was a 'Ploop' sound when he did). Clearly he went as far as he dared and he waited until Cookie and her owner started back and then feel in behind them.

I was shocked, jaw dropping shocked. hahahaha maybe even a little jealous of Cookie and whatever Wilson feels for her. Is that strange to say? LOL! But really I'm glad that there's a dog that Wilson can get that attached too, its one of those life balancing steps that I was looking for!

Anyways, I'll shut up and share a few pictures I had taken of Wilson following Cookie around the few times we have been to the park. Enjoy!

(For those of you wondering why Wilson is wearing a leash, its because his recall is not the greatest yet. Especially at the dog park so the leash helps give me something to grab if he gets that crazy running look in his eyes!)

Wilson (aka the pup that harasses Mom)

Wilson: Hey..hey, whatcha dooing? Can I help, look I'm helping. LOOK AT ME! *jumps all over* Jumping fun mom. See? I sure do like hoping everywhere. Hey, hello, hi! I think I'm hungry...*trots off to check food bowl, which is empty.* MOOOOMM FEED MEEE! *brings food bowl over and starts running around* Stop with your taptaptaping on the computer, I'm right here. No I do not want grandma to play with me *walks away from grandma*. No I do not want Mindy. *Ignores Kitty-cat and stares at mom*

Chelsea: *attempts to ignore pupson and work on her paper*

Wilson: *sighs and lays down*

Chelsea: *Feels bad, invites the fat sausage up onto couch. Continues where she lefts off once Wilson is settled*

Wilson: Hey Hey mom, whats that on the screen? *puts head on laptop* Wooooww, look at all them words you are typing. Can I.....Can I lick them? *attempts to lick screen, screen now has dog slobber on it*

Chelsea: ....

Wilson: *big puppy eyes* You look stressed, Study Break?

Chelsea: *grumbles* You win.

Wilson: YAY! WALKIES!

Grandma: *laughs like crazy in the background*

....True story....

Wilson and The Woofles Pack: Dog Park Day

Mom would like me to let all you readers know that she is sorry for the lack of posts and the delay. Me and life are sucking up her time, but we do appreciate your comments and Mom reads every one to me! We wish that blogger was like facebook so you all would know when we respond to your comments, but sadly this isn't so. So thank you friends, know that we adore when you leave us comments!

As for the dog park party..It was great! Its nice to walk around with a bunch of dogs at your side in comparison to just going to the dog park and walking around with just mom and me, plus I'm in love with Cookie, the older dalmatian gal. She's the next being I would follow if mom was not around. If any of you wish to take a look at the rest of the pictures mom took that day, here's the link to her facebook album.

Have a good week everyone!

Adventure in a Water Fountain

Mom and G-Ma took me for a walkie yesterday..... What I thought was a normal day turned into a new experience and I got kinda wet. I'm sure moms glad that I don't smell so bad when I'm soaked, I know I am and I know Mindy-cat is too. She doesn't like to hang out with me when I smell, what a strange animal.

We took Wilson to the water fountain in the park! At first he did not like the idea very much, it was loud and new to him. Even so my mom got him to run under it a few times till his little tail started to wag and he was sloshing through the water on his own. All in all a good day for all three of us to enjoy the sun and have some fun together.
