Corky shakes hands 08-14-05

Corky looking handsome on a red patio table and shaking hands. He is very polite, if someone extends their hand he obliges by putting out his paw to shake.

If he saw Suraya he would shake her hand!

The Patient Being Patient 10-12-08

Corky was very low keyed on Friday, the first day of his antibiotics. He likes to lay on the bottom few steps at his house. Here he has tucked himself into a step and looks so comfortable. He is so accustomed to having his picture taken that he will just stay in one pose for quite a long time. I just take one shot and say, "Stay" and he stays. So patient.

His Mommy told me this evening that he is doing just great. But just like people he must take the full course of the antibiotics, which will end next Thursday.

Corky in his brown bed 10-07-08

Corky was eager for his Mommy and Daddy to come home. This bed is in the hall/dining area, so he has a direct view of both the front door and the garage door. Auntie Del watched him "remake" his bed about five times before he had it just right.

He found the final comfortable arrangement , put his chin on the edge of the bed and both feet on the little pillow. He does look regal. When he heard the truck he jumped out of bed and ran in circles, barking - he really lets his parents know that he is glad they are home.

Corky in a Snit June 2006

Corky says he is so tired he can't keep his eyes open. He wants to go to bed.

He has turned his back in disgust - TIME FOR BED!

He is looking daggers and threatening Auntie Del with consequences.

So, he gets on the bed and places himself so there is no room for her. Just like any Prince, I guess.

Coffee @ Starbuck's 10-04-08

Corky found it really boring to listen to Auntie Del and Liz visit. He has a sweet little curl under his chin.

Neither Corky or Liz was interested in having their picture taken.

Liz gave in, but Corky was having none of it.

At least until Auntie Del held up a bag of treats under the camera. That got his attention.

Hello to Suraya!

Sleeping at Camp Del 10-03-08

Waiting at the bedroom door and begging Aunty Del to go to bed.
[I read an item about removing the ghoulish eyes, but haven't tried it yet.]

In bed at last and taking up more than his share of the bed.

Corky in his new doggy stroller 09-19-06

When Corky had his tenth birthday in July 2006 he had developed arthritis in his left hip. It became hard to carry him much without hurting him, so his parents bought him a stroller made for small dogs.

I said "No way is he going to stay in that." I was wrong. In the two years since, he has never tried to get out of it. He rides around with a princely air, I almost expect him to start waving.
