BOBO: Cocoa is getting to be more fun to play with. I can chase her around the yard and bark at her. She's also not as delicate as I thought. If she bites me, I can bark at her and she'll run scared. She keeps getting in Mom & Dad's bed. They had bought me a new bed and kicked me out of theirs, but I guess now they feel bad for me b/c she's in their bed so they let me sleep up there too. Score!

COCOA: Everything in this house is delicious.

May 26, 2008

BOBO: New toys all around! Constant treats! Lots of sympathy attention! Maybe it's good to have her around after all. I've been showing her who's boss when we wrestle, too. She cheats, though. She keeps chewing on my ear, but I know I'll get in trouble if I chew on hers...

COCOA: Boy, have I been getting in trouble lately. I was grounded from posting b/c Mom was mad at me for chewing up something she liked. I can't help it - everything is so crunchy and smells like Mom & Dad. I'm still trying to figure out what I can chew and what I can't. Sometimes I'm chewing something and Mom tells me I'm a good girl, so I know those are ok.

MOMMY: Hello, this is Bo & Co's Mom. Cocoa is currently grounded from the computer so she cannot post right now. This is her punishment for chewing up a new coaster, Tim's checkbook, and most tragically, my cell phone.

May 21, 2008

BOBO: I felt so bad for Cocoa today. She was pretty sick this morning, but now she's back to her old self. I cuddled up with her a bit to see if that made her feel better. I was feeling a little down, but luckily Mom let me get in bed with her and spoon most of the night.

COCOA: Ugh. I definitely ate too much over the last few days. I needed to poop but for some reason it just wasn't working. Well, it worked today. I felt bad - I know I'm supposed to go outside to poop but I was in my little room with the door closed and I couldn't wait! I hope Mom wasn't too mad. She didn't punish me. She told me she felt bad for me. I feel better now, though.

May 20, 2008

BOBO: I was having a good day. Then the thunderstorm happened.

COCOA: Today, I was back in my little room again when Mom & Dad went back to work. I had a new toy in there with me, and I wasn't sure what to do with it. It was nice and wooden though, great to chew on. I chewed for a while and got off a nice piece, but then it CRASHED on me! I was stuck for a minute, but I wiggled out. I hardly had any room to move around until Mom came home and picked it up. She seemed mad. Maybe it actually wasn't a toy.

Oh, and Bobo was upset about something tonight, so I ate his food. What? He wasn't going to eat it! He just moped around, shaking and panting. I'm so full. By the way, what does the word "destructive" mean? I heard Mom call me that to Dad.

May 19, 2008

BOBO: Well, I've learned my lesson. When Mom puts food down for me, I need to eat it pretty soon. If not, Cocoa will come by and eat it when I'm not looking. At least I'm getting extra treats lately. It's easy to be a "good boy"! I just do what they say to humor them so I can get extra food.

COCOA: So full. Can't move. I'm just going to lay here on the couch for a while. Ugh.

May 18, 2008

BOBO: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! She ate the remote! I know it's bad, but I can't stop laughing.

COCOA: I found a new toy. Mom & Dad usually play with it, but they're not here so I decided to throw it around a bit. I gave it a little nibble and it was pretty crunchy, so I decided to crunch it up a little. Boy, were they mad when they got home!!! I didn't realize it was off-limits. It's hard to figure out what I am allowed to play with and what I'm not!

May 16, 2008

BOBO: I think I would like this chick a lot more if she'd stop licking my face. Now she's nibbling my ears! She's kind of fun to chase around the yard, but she hasn't figured out yet when to leave me alone. I'm an old man, and I need my beauty sleep.

COCOA: I figured something out. If Mom says "Sit" and I jump up to grab the treat, she won't give it to me! If she says sit and I put my butt on the ground, she gives it to me! I don't understand it, but I guess I have to follow this silly rule if I want a treat.

I also tested out a new bathroom. It's in the corner, so I figured it would be out of the way. Bobo didn't care, but mom yelled at me and chased me out the back door! She seemed happier when I finished peeing outside.

May 15, 2008

BOBO: Chillin', chillin', mindin' my business...

COCOA: Bobo goes outside to pee. Maybe that's HIS bathroom? I've been peeing out there, but I wonder if it makes him mad. I'll try to pee in here on this nice, soft floor to see what happens...

May 14, 2008

BOBO: oooooooooh boy is she going to get in trouble today!!! I would never believe this if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes! She tore Dad's flip-flop to shreds! Now, I remember eating his sunglasses and belt when I was young, but I was angry that he was taking up so much of my Mom's attention! They've been spoiling her, and she STILL ate his flip-flop!

She's really going to get it. She's been taking their shoes outside all day long. Sneakers, flip-flops, even Dad's work shoes! Yuck! She's chewing up his work shoe right now. I hope they don't think I did this. I'm way too smart.

COCOA: I love my new toys! I'm finding toys all over the house! I've been cooped up and now I'm feeling a little better so I want to play.

May 13, 2008

BOBO: She's back, but she's sick :( I tried to act like I wasn't that excited to see her, but I ran up to her anyway! I can tell her belly is hurting and Mom & Dad are being really careful with her. I'm going to leave her alone tonight.

COCOA: I was so happy to come back here. I had a pretty traumatic day, and I was hoping that I could sleep in a soft bed tonight instead of the hard concrete floor. I'm so tired, and I'm in pain. I hope tomorrow is better!

May 12, 2008

BOBO: Ok, I confess. I missed her a bit today. I actually decided to lay in her bed for a little while. I wonder if she's gone for good. It was nice to go back to my normal routine, but it was also a little bit boring.

COCOA: I am miserable!!! First, I went back to my old home but was put in a room all by myself. Then, I had to go to the VET! I hate the VET! Now, I'm in pain! I wonder what will happen to me now??!!!

May 11, 2008

BOBO: So, I had the strange suspicion that Cocoa was here to stay until tonight when Mom got her leash and her bed and put her in the car! It looks like she's going back home to wherever she came from. I was just starting to get used to her. She still licks me too much.

COCOA: I hate cars! I hate them I hate them I hate them! Cars mean one thing - change! I wonder where I'm going this time. I hope it is as fun as the place I've been all week. I'm scared it will be somewhere scary and that I will be alone :(

May 9, 2008

BOBO: Sweet relief! They locked her in the laundry room when they went to work today! I can relax, eat my food at my own pace, and not have to worry about someone following me around! She does sound a little sad in there, though. Oh well, I'll go outside so I don't have to hear her crying.

COCOA: Ok, I came in here to eat breakfast, but when I tried to leave the door was closed! This room is bigger than my old home, but I want to explore! I want to go outside! What will happen if I have to pee? I guess I'll just have to hold it. I wonder when the door will open. Maybe I'll just chew up this toy in the meantime...

May 8, 2008

BOBO: Did I say she was annoying before? Well, she's REALLY annoying now. She keeps licking my eyes and my mouth, over and over and over! I just want to be left alone. Plus, every time Mom & Dad try to pet me she gets in the way. She even tries to eat my food! At least she isn't peeing in the house now. I showed her where to go so she doesn't get into trouble. Now that she knows how to get outside she is bugging me in the yard too! Dad's going back to work tomorrow. I guess I should entertain her. She tore up all of my stuffed toys, though.

COCOA: I'm starting to like this place. I keep getting food and belly rubs! Bobo is nice. I'm going to keep giving him kisses to show him how much I like him. I'm starting to figure out what to do. I have been assigned a bed, but I found another one I like better and so far no one has complained. I also have been assigned a HUGE area of grass to use as a toilet. Bobo showed me how to find the grass, so now I can go inside and outside whenever I want. I love my new toys, but I MUST find the squeaker. I MUST eat the squeaker.

May 7, 2008

BOBO: Ok, so now she's getting a little annoying. Mom & Dad said her name is "Cocoa" but she doesn't answer to it. She doesn't answer them at all. Instead, she's just sniffing around and peeing on things! I would be in serious trouble if I did that! What is she thinking? She keeps following me around. Last night, she kept getting in my bed! I finally got in bed with Mom & Dad because she's too little to get up here. Ha!

COCOA: I'm so confused. I found food to eat, so at least I'm not hungry. This place is so big and the floor is soft! There's another guy like me in here. His name is Bobo, and he seems pretty nice. I'll just follow him to see what I'm supposed to be doing. I don't know where all of my other friends went.

May 6, 2008

BOBO: Ok, so I'm minding my own business and doing what I do every day - hanging out in the yard. I'm waiting for Mom & Dad to come home b/c I want to see if I can beg for some human food today. Suddenly, they came home and brought a crazy little pup with them! I hope she's just here to visit. They like to watch other people's kids and I'm always expected to play nice even when they're annoying. This girl wasn't really annoying. She seemed scared more than anything.

COCOA: I have no idea what is going on. I'm freaking out!!!
