Cookie: 11/29 - walks

FM took us 4-leggers for a walk yesterday afternoon. It was a bit chilly out so Olive and I wore coats. I didn’t mind them since it meant we were able to spend a few extra minutes outside letting me sniff around. There was so much to sniff!





Until next time!

Cookie: 11/27 - visitor

FM is working from home this afternoon, and she still had the dog walker, Ms. Rose, come by and take us 4-leggers out. I loved going out for our walk and exploring everything. There were workmen outside that I said hello to, but otherwise it was quiet. Ms. Rose told FM that I did well, and that I’m the cutest little thing. Seems I may have heard that once or twice from FM. 


Hey FM. Can you ask Ms. Rose to come back or maybe leave that work alone and come take us back outside?

Until next time!

Cookie: 11/25 - Deer!

There were a total of 5 deer in the neighbors yard yesterday! 





FM wouldn’t let us 4-leggers out until they were out of sight, but once she did, Olive and I let them know we were here. 



Until next time!

Cookie: 11/24 - brushing chews

Hey everyone! FM and FD have this greyt habit of giving us 4-leggers a brushing chew every night. This was the scene last night when FD was passing them out. 





As you can tell from my wagging tail, I LOVE this time of day. Paws crossed my furever family continues this tradition. 

Until next time!

Cookie: 11/20 - I see you FM!

So FM has been on travel, and I got to see her when she FaceTimed us!


I hear you and see you FM! Where are you?!?!


Okay fine. You’re not touching me so I’m gonna be sad. 

Until next time (and FM is home)!

Cookie: 11/18 - sharing is caring

Hello there! Cookie Monster here. Okay. So I’m not really a Monster, but FM said it’s a cute nickname for me since I like to check everything out to the fullest extent possible. 

It’s been extra cold since retirement life started, and I’ve pretty much stayed in my pj’s. I like being toasty what can I say. I’ve also decided that sharing beds with the resident 4-leggers is another way to stay warm, and near FD (‘cause I think he’s my favorite 😊).


Don’t pay any attention to my partial #BedFail. I had to make sure Zoey had the room she needed since she’s old. 


Secret decided that as long as she was closest to FD that she’d share the bed with me. I’m glad she’s nice. 

Until next time!

Cookie: 11/15 - naps

In case you were wondering, I’ve gotten really good at taking naps since I settled in with FM, FD, and the resident 4-leggers.  My favorite place is to be near them even if there’s a bed close by.  If I can get closer, that’s the way to go. 

I decided to use the couch to shade my eyes. The morning sun was keeping me from my second nap of the day.

There’s a little bed for the littlest 4-legger in the office.  When the big bed is taken, I’ve got no issues squeezing in here. 

And when the littlest 4-legger is in the big bed, I’ll join her if there’s room. I’m glad she doesn’t mind sharing with me. 

Until next time!

Cookie: 11/13 - meeting and greeting

Hello again!  My first full day with FM and FD was a busy one.  

And since they said it was going to be busy, I started the day with a nap once I’d had breakfast.

After mid-morning naps, we headed to the Irish Festival in Timonium, MD.  After an hour or so of meeting and greeting, I laid down for a well deserved nap.  It’s tiring getting all that petting and loving!

Yes FM.  I know.  My envelope ears are adorable.  FM won’t stop talking about them.

Hanging out with Olive and Secret while we waited for everyone to come in.

FM didn’t get a pic quick enough, but I had to check out the tiny human. 

On the way home from the Irish Festival, I decided that I’m better suited for hanging out in the second row of seats.

See how cute I am in this seat?  Could you just buckle me in here?

What?  I’m just moving from that seat to this seat.  The view is better over here.

Once home, we had an early dinner.  Seems FM and FD are still not righted around with the time change.

I’m learning to eat from a raised feeder beside Olive.  FM said I’m doing greyt.

FM here.  Seriously.  #ThoseEars <3 <3

Until next time!

Cookie: 11/11 - new girl in town

Hello everyone!  New girl in town here, and I’m ready to explore #AllTheThings!  I’m keeping foster mom (FM) and foster dad (FD) on their toes.  Buuutttt that’s what you get when you have a 16 month old little girl fresh from the track!  So lets get you up to speeed.

I made the trip from the track to retirement on Saturday with FM and FD.  FM made to sure to document all of us on our adventure.  

That’s me and Copper trying to help FM be a passenger in the front seat.

Hello FM!  Need me up there?  I can help navigate.  I’m a professional.

I swear I can help drive!  Can I get up there while FD is gone?

So this happened, and I’d rather not talk about it.  I’m not sure why I ended up under Monty and Norman but here I am.

And when they wouldn’t move, I just laid down where I was.

After awhile, we arrived at GHC.  Once we were settled into our crates, all of us were fed dinner, had our pictures taken, then finished out with baths, nail trims, ear cleanings, and getting our microchips.  FM and FD loaded me back into the car after all that and we headed home.  Seems I’m going to be hanging out with two foster sisters who look like me and a little fluffy foster sister.  FM said I have to be extra nice to the fluffy one, and that works for me.  I like cats and the little dogs.

FD was handing out treats after we all did our business.  I wasn’t too sure what he was doing, but FM said I’d figure it out pretty quick.  Seems treats are a good thing.

Then it was bed time.  FM said I have to wear these pjs because it gets cold in the house.  Okay.  I’m just going to go with it.

And then my day was done!  Hooray for bedtime.  It was a busy day, and a young girl like me needs her beauty sleep.

Until next time!
