Someone’s in the kitchen with Cookie! Tim and I are trying to get healthier this year. So that means we are spending a lot more time in the kitchen and a lot less time in the drive-thru. Cookie already has the healthiest diet of the three of us, being on her fish and sweet potato regime, but she is very interested in the new kitchen routine and all the yummy smells that come along with it!
It’s a “good thing”

I worked from home yesterday and, as always, Cookie offered to assist me with various office duties that I couldn’t attend to myself. You can imagine my surprise, after having given her the task of fetching me coffee and toast, I found her sitting in the living room staring intently at Martha Stewart on the tube. It seems Cookie got distracted by Martha’s magical ways of throwing together a simple pear tart for those every day dessert cravings. Cookie looked so adorable that I just might ignore this stunt at her annual performance review.

If you can’t tell from this picture, Our Girl loves her bi-monthly baths. This picture was snapped a few weeks ago when she got her frequent-bather card stamped for the 10th time at Mudpuppy’s TubĀ & Scrub. You know what that means… a free bath, a bell ring, and a big ol’ grin from Cookie! My clean, happy puppy!
Happy New Year!

A while ago, Cookie was feeling self-conscious about her atrophied temporal muscles caused by her Masticatory Muscle Myositis. So, I knit a matching pom-pom hat and scarf set for her to camouflage these areas while flaunting others (such as her beautiful brown eyes and spotted jowls). What you see above is a snapshot of Cookie on Sunday morning sporting said accessories as she prepares for a trip into town for some essentials… perhaps some treacle, crumpets and a nice Christmas pudding.
Cookie at the Wedding
December 14, 2009 by cookie04I was reviewing our wedding pictures from the wedding in April, and got all warm and fuzzy seeing so many great shots of little Cookie, and also great shots of Tim and me getting married! Ha-ha. I thought our readers would be interested in seeing these too. Enjoy!

Santa Baby

Hurry down the chimney tonight!
The air is crisp and it’s finally beginning to feel like winter! Cookie and I were inspired to have a Holiday photo shoot.
Cookie is really workin’ it with the Santa cap. I captured so many great images of her struttin’ and posin’ around the back yard – but here are my favorites. As you can see, Cookie looks great in her winter whites. I wanted to let you all know that we have seen great improvements over the past few weeks in her health. So thank you for all your well-wishes.
Thanksgiving vacation, part 2

Here is a picture of Lucy and Winston on the road. They are good traveling buddies, always the best of friends unless a toy or treat is involved.
Winston sees a door while in the backyard, and knows just what to do to be let inside!
Lucy falls asleep on her own face.
