Corky + quilt 08-14-05

This is one of Auntie Del's favorite pictures of Corky taken in August 2005. He looks so studious sitting on the patio in front of her quilt "Woad" (a dye plant). The quilt is pinned basted for quilting.

Sleeeeeep! 02-05-09

Corky has always spent a lot of his time sleeping when he is at my house. His mommy and I think it is because his house is always busy with different people coming and going. While my house is very quiet and the only coming and going is done by the mail man.

This may be his way of 'disappearing' when he is here. He does love his pink poodle pillow.

He went to lunch yesterday with my friend Toni and me. He sits in his doggy stroller and spends the first half hour or so looking at the people around him. Then he gets tired of them and of our scintillating conversation and just goes to sleep. We have to sit outside on the patio if Corky is with us and we were concerned we might have to cancel because of the predicted rain. But it didn't start raining until 1pm, just as we were walking to our vehicles.

I am a little behind in updating Corky's blog, so I am posting four pictures at once. The dates are when the pictures were taken.

Corky rides in the front passenger seat, wearing his seat belt and somewhat protected by the high sides of his red bed. We are driving north on the 55 Freeway and Saddleback Mountain can be seen out the window. 01-27-09

People are always commenting on how white Corky is. In the two weeks between his grooming appointments he has his face washed twice a day and his feet washed every time he goes outside. And he has periodic 'brush ups' when he gets really messed up - I'll give him one tomorrow before taking him home because we had to walk in the rain today. Besides all that, his mommy is a perfectionist housekeeper! 02-02-09

Corky and I stopped to see Tina at Discoveries Jewelry shop in Tustin. I frequently buy jewelry here and Corky likes to go because he can roam the shop without a leash. And, I suppose, because Tina usually has a treat for him! The jewelry is handcrafted by artists all over the country. 02-03-09

Here is the little guy hanging out of his bed after we left Discoveries. He looks like he is saying, "Auntie Del, lean over here I want to tell you something." I did lean over and he gave me a kiss -sweet dog. 02-03-09
