Cooper and Chloe's Playdate

All during last school year, I volunteered at Bryce's school on Tuesdays.  Bryce's teacher/Principal, Mrs. D. has a little dog, just like Chloe but a couple of years older.  I got Chloe from the same breeder Mrs. D. got Cooper from.  Anyway, every Tuesday I would bring Chloe along with me so she and Cooper could have a play date for a couple of hours while I volunteered.  They LOVE each other.

This year I volunteer to teach cooking a couple times a month, which is not the best situation for a doggie play date.  So yesterday when I dropped Bryce off at school, I picked Cooper up and brought him home for a Chloe-Cooper play date.

Oooh was Chloe EVER SO happy.  They were SO excited and moving SO fast when they first saw one another in my house the photo is blurred!

Ears were a flyin'

Chloe is on the left, Cooper is wearing the blue harness.

Big smiles from both of them the entire time.
Chloe likes getting the upper hand most of the time and Cooper's such a gentlemen, he lets her.

Paige was also excited to see Cooper.  This photo below is taken just 15 minutes after Cooper arrived and their tongues are already hanging out. 

Cooper kisses.

Chloe showing her under carriage!  Bad girl!  Well, I guess they've known each other for a year....

A leisure stroll outside......

Taking in the view together......

I think someone likes Mac & Cheese!  Cooper is even polite when he begs.

Sorry buddy, not this time.....

Finally, rest time, just before it was time to go back to school.
I don't know if Cooper is allowed on the furniture at home, but he is here.  One of the great things about this breed of dog {Maltese/ShiTzu} is that they don't shed....at all.

Chloe can not wait until the next time and I'm sure Cooper can't either.

Happy Friday!  Cheers!

Day to Day Happenings

My day began on Tuesday getting myself and Bryce ready for kindergarten. Breakfast was a 100% whole wheat english muffin, topped with a sliced hard boiled egg made with my EggGenie.....LOVE the EggGenie! The easiest way to boil eggs, just add water, seven eggs at one time, plug in and let it do it's thing. On Tuesdays, I volunteer at the one room school house Bryce attends and puppy Chloe comes as well. Mrs. Doyle, the teacher/principal, owns a relative of Chloe.....Cooper, a Maltese / Shi Tzu mix just like Chloe and Tuesday mornings they have a standing playdate appointment at school. A fun time for all! Photo below ~ Chloe and Cooper atop Mrs. Doyle's desk ~ well behaved students! In the evening, our family attended the Redwood Empire Dairy Holstein Association's annual dinner. A short meeting is conducted during dinner, where the attendees are informed of any upcoming dairy shows, heifer sales, meetings, etc. The junior division, California Junior Holstein are present as well. Awards and scholarships are presented to the winners. The juniors announce up-coming competitions that they will participate in such as, Dairy Jeopardy, Dairy Bowl, and Public Speaking to name a few. The dinner was held at the Elk's Lodge in Petaluma. It's a catered event which consisted of tri-tip, chicken marsala, fresh roasted vegetables, ceaser salad and a creamy penne dish. Photo below: the future of the dairy industry...hopefully, if our local dairies are still around in 10 or 15 years.
