That's me - Cool Coty, too cool for words ! Sometimes a picture IS worth a thousand words. The chicks dig me. Except for our new kitten Margherita, she is<br /><em>nell' amore</em>, <em>in luv</em> with Susie. I am jealous, I'm the handsome Dood in this joint. Margherita slinks in and out between Susie's legs, rubs under her chin, and takes a flying leap on her neck when Susie leaves the room. My bi-ped says "Not to worry, it's a kitty with raging hormones thing and it will be fixed in due time". I don't get it, but I'm a greyhound...<br />We went to pet therapy last Sunday, but it's still scary for me.

Her exact words were - "if I find the beast who did this I'm going to wring his scrawny neck". I was right behind her, I heard it with my very own ears.

Cool Coty was not chewing tobacco out behind the barn tonight. No siree... chewing cat poop is my new vice. My bi-ped had, not 5 minutes before, been admiring my pearly whites, exclaiming how nice and healthy they looked. Hah ! I showed her what juvenile delinquent JD Coty is all about. We were getting ready for our walk and I was so excited that I dashed downstairs, grabbed a bite of cat poop out of the litter box - yes, you read that right - cat poop, and chewed it right up ! Then made a mad dash back upstairs catch the walk. BUSTED ! Bending down to hook me up - my dragon breath gave me away. Gag ! The cat was out of the bag. Freshly chewed cat poo. Phew-weeee. One look into my crocodile sized jaws and the brown glob on my molar was a dead give-away :--( Talk about potty mouth !!!!!!!!!!! Heee-Heeeeeeee. We did some serious tooth brushing and my pearly whites are clean again. Luna and Susie think I'm a disgusting meathead. Chicks.

This wading pool thing is so Coty Cool, that my bi-ped pack leader thinks I am a complete nut case. We just did 3 rounds of <em>Run With The Bulls</em>. This is how it works - I - Cool Coty - make a mad dash into my wading pool - splash, splash, whack and jump until it waves. My pack leader calls me out to dry off, but today because she had a red beach towel, I turned into a Raging Greyt-Bull. I ran at her like the devil was after me, she waved the towel and I zipped past at 45 mph. After a few runs at the cape, I ran back to <em>the pool</em>, cannon balled in, and then ... 'got the call' Toro Toro Toro !!!! I was out in a flash and high-tailing it down to the bottom of the dog field headed for that red waving towel. I zipped, I zapped, I zigged and I zagged. It was waaaaay Coty Cool. And we did the whole thing over and over again. Who knew ??? Susie and Luna think I am the coolest Dude on the block. It's true.

This swimming thing is very Cool Coty. I turn into quite the silly greyt dog in my new wading pool. As one who is still figuring out what scary things abound, I jumped right in and started paddling like tadpole. I look like a leopard frog. Splashing, and biting the waves and generally having fun, fun, fun. Luna got in also, but I splashed her right out. Some day I might try a real lake or pool. I chased Susie and Luna around the yard after my swim. It's very exhausting to splash in circles and dog paddle in 6 inches of water.</div>Cool Cotyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13899381397033468795noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323029811705908790.post-31185137066132141042009-06-28T14:24:00.004-04:002009-06-28T14:59:21.062-04:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEici_Kp5T5VehcibGuDwRCO9cHMzY90PIk5Bs_dMjsVT_UK8w2NyB4EadX5fbbBfLnipFqjR24K4yI-kT31jH8U-YGWENYSGo4uKfgNRcl5sgvKcK5vVorAJzw9kM3B9L9k7DMI6KVq6A/s1600-h/Hot-shot.JPG+(2)"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352453564421136898" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 148px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEici_Kp5T5VehcibGuDwRCO9cHMzY90PIk5Bs_dMjsVT_UK8w2NyB4EadX5fbbBfLnipFqjR24K4yI-kT31jH8U-YGWENYSGo4uKfgNRcl5sgvKcK5vVorAJzw9kM3B9L9k7DMI6KVq6A/s200/Hot-shot.JPG+(2)" border="0" /></a><br />Hot ! Hot ! Hot ! Too hot for even the obnoxious squirrels. 92 degrees, 54 % humidity and heat index 98 degrees and counting. Four baby Phoebe birds fledged this morning. Jumped right out of their nest at the top corner of the porch, just like mini-paratroopers, and flap-flap, out into the blue sky and forest trees. No looking back, all made it without falling into the huge hydrangea bushes below. We can hear them peeping in the leaves. No greythound news this weekend, it's major nap time in this heat.Cool Cotyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13899381397033468795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323029811705908790.post-24651126988330550152009-05-25T12:30:00.011-04:002009-05-26T07:29:12.227-04:00Dog Stinkhorns - Strange garden tails<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5HdXlEqHjpakU6nhxdQxLHJwWIKgxGUBSw7XkYsQ2CQPZz9kY9y3EN1bxBy86NY4hkJYQEgwh4y-a4l0YgBw0gilYjarAZEVe49yZpKdTBRmB39FIhs6v1oOBrlD6PMZA5BbmN53Wpg/s1600-h/IMG_0030.JPG+(3).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339802215707482162" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 140px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5HdXlEqHjpakU6nhxdQxLHJwWIKgxGUBSw7XkYsQ2CQPZz9kY9y3EN1bxBy86NY4hkJYQEgwh4y-a4l0YgBw0gilYjarAZEVe49yZpKdTBRmB39FIhs6v1oOBrlD6PMZA5BbmN53Wpg/s200/IMG_0030.JPG+(3).JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkGF6fjNVlebh14t_PytHwVrnM5acw5vDdMgB6SUuRjmPqwvqRfJAfzjySWQZvhguKgZiACItti_4kokyLZlxAi5NIo_vKbRQiCzkfzcgFrt7xknJXmxNozoN6QRGiImAc4U3-UfDWcQ/s1600-h/IMG_0032.JPG+(2).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339800765087909730" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkGF6fjNVlebh14t_PytHwVrnM5acw5vDdMgB6SUuRjmPqwvqRfJAfzjySWQZvhguKgZiACItti_4kokyLZlxAi5NIo_vKbRQiCzkfzcgFrt7xknJXmxNozoN6QRGiImAc4U3-UfDWcQ/s200/IMG_0032.JPG+(2).JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVGkjMiSVhyphenhyphenXSQQuoIfZBw4fgmJtL8-7DIBFm71Z2DRFM0-eCHanAEy3HircrfhdDwvl-RT9RDrQGBiXz5F10_ezfw-HKz3YwuO7dtpmdgxl80Ky1HF80nZXiDWDlJgQZm_KaBxuiWkw/s1600-h/IMG_0031.JPG+(3).JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Look at what we found growing under a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">rhododendron</span>.

Kisses and effusive hugs all around. Hmmm, guess I should show my good stuff once in awhile instead of knocking down the wall in the kennel room and getting stuck on the basement side :--) We cruised the garden this morning, everything is getting ready to pop with color...this is a carpet rose, which soon will be laying over completely covered in bouquets of hot pink roses. Our garden is a work in progress,<em> il nostro giardino è i lavori in corso</em>, which is so much fun. We are still adding to the vegetable garden, row-by-row. Two zucchini plants went in this week - and you know what that means....friends will hide in fear once these start producing. Do greyts eat zucchini ? I'll let you know. <em>Arrivederci tutto</em>.Cool Cotyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13899381397033468795noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323029811705908790.post-9482989428632022002009-05-16T22:15:00.003-04:002009-05-17T15:43:37.404-04:00<em>Abbiamo avuti oggi lotti di divertimento.</em> We had lots of fun today. And just missed the rain - it is raining cats and dogs here right now. I was a quiet and respectful guest as is my regal nature, whereas Luna Petunia is a naughty girlfriend. She got tired of playing in the pasture and zipped right through the slats to another fenced area- but everyone noticed the 'new Luna' and her devious ways and she was captured red-hounded. She was strolling around, sniffing things, watching all the visiting Greyts and day dreaming of her racing days. Though she's been retired since 2005 ol' Luna Petunia can run still like the wind. My greyt sister was looking good. We are both happy and tired. <em>Bouna notte.</em>Cool Cotyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13899381397033468795noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323029811705908790.post-76096931904867089572009-05-15T10:07:00.006-04:002009-05-15T10:35:44.039-04:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg20jlg_1GGNDsQgQ9eBNmmVWWXu5kvX5nQfFn3eLugPbhaVJ1TkMtVAfeG5NjUd9hvuNTsRrdrqKYQ0Fktbi8_QU7rAyRXidM2ayfkArOXDCJNrDMShDeBYVvlCYmULeoyJZHcsxkerA/s1600-h/IMG_0095.JPG+(2).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336056604716412978" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg20jlg_1GGNDsQgQ9eBNmmVWWXu5kvX5nQfFn3eLugPbhaVJ1TkMtVAfeG5NjUd9hvuNTsRrdrqKYQ0Fktbi8_QU7rAyRXidM2ayfkArOXDCJNrDMShDeBYVvlCYmULeoyJZHcsxkerA/s200/IMG_0095.JPG+(2).JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4_DbIjoySF_DBIN3IxzlImp0sp1sW5JjU4Tf6eMGQPZHE_oM1ZOyFK0bOmbIkWSlmNIz143M1vhNGlcBcjK5fO-o7FHsAymunyhHiTO2R4gHFTfqwi3e0mWwRRS5Z-E4tB7lKYdVPEA/s1600-h/IMG_0098.JPG+(2).JPG"></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVObGQb5z_LUVntkdrh4xTbD2o__tMd-dH0L4dHWS1fEB-3b6BIajMv-bATT2og19tMEqeqjNiwkGcC4ZLS3a1WZNlgD4u-fIE3RR8AG2myVZwynebeAt4GQw_XxNVlmpHPWyQV24B5g/s1600-h/IMG_0094.JPG+(3).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336056046589665890" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 173px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVObGQb5z_LUVntkdrh4xTbD2o__tMd-dH0L4dHWS1fEB-3b6BIajMv-bATT2og19tMEqeqjNiwkGcC4ZLS3a1WZNlgD4u-fIE3RR8AG2myVZwynebeAt4GQw_XxNVlmpHPWyQV24B5g/s200/IMG_0094.JPG+(3).JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Cool Coty Reporting that my new sister has settled in. We put one of the Kuranda beds on the back deck this morning and all lounged outside drinking coffee and listening to the birds, while it was still cool. I LOVE COOL COTY weather. I HATE hot weather. </div><br /><div>Luna keeps stealing MY dog napping spot and then scrunches the cover all up into a ball, it takes her several minutes to get it just right. Sheesh - girls..... She is a QT - little brown polka-dotted freckles on the back of her ears and also lightly under her white fur. We've been running around like zombies in the dog pasture and after a while I have to flop down and rest. Luna and Susie continue to run like zombies, so I have to get up and join them again because I might miss something. It's soooooo much fun. Gotta Grey - Gotta Run, see ya' at the Farm Meeting.
