January 2008

Well hello there, everyone, another month has gone by and the first month of 2008 is just about over, so its time to write another Kosmo tale yet again, and knowing my mum she is probably writing this while on her way to work on the train.

During the month we have had heaps of rain and frankly its getting on my nerves a bit, because where we live, the water gets in everywhere it possibly can, adn it makes the slate tiles slippery, mind you I don't mind laying out in the rain, its quite refreshing, but I much prefer the pool.

I have had had lots of swims since Christmas, I love it heaps, I think we must be moving house, as Mum & Dad have been moving boxes out of the house all the time, and Dad took me with him to another house the other day, it had a big fence and a gate across the driveway, we were there for hours, Dad was building a bench in the garage. But I had a ball over there because there was plenty of places to poop, I sat near the gate for a long time when suddenly these 2 men appeared, It was dad's friend "Damien", he was with the plumber, coming to fix the bathroom, he was very friendly, he gave me lots of pats and even kisses (I think he likes me).

Just yesterday I was a bit confused about something! Mum & Dad's friend "RON" says he doesn't like dogs, but he took me for a walk , (what is his problem - I think he just likes to grumble about things), he also gave me some meat and biscuits.. Oh Well I guess some people are like that.

Too bad if he doesn't like dogs, because my Mum and Dad love me very much, and I ain't going anywhere ( I would really like a play mate one day - but I guess there is no chance of that for a while).

Apparently its 3 weeks till we finally move and quite frankly I can't wait, and its only about 1 week before Ron goes home to New Zealand- Cause that means i get to go inside more often.

Well till next month, you all be good now, see you all then

All my Love

KOSMO XOXOXO

25th December 2007 --- Christmas Day

Well hello there everybody, its been a while since I wrote a Kosmo Tale.

A lot has happened during this last couple of weeks, Mum and Dad's Friend Ron has arrived form New Zealand, he hasn't changed much, just a little greyer hair, and needs a hair-cut ( I am sure my friend "Grace" the dogwash lady could give him a clip LOL LOL LOL).

The weather has been a mixed bag, one day fine and hot the next day Cold, Windy and rainy the next. I have had a few swims, when my mum gets in the pool, I have even managed to jump off the side, straight in.

Mum and Dad have been taking me to the park in the car, its so much fun, we go in the car, then jump out for a run around, I like chasing the pigeons. I also want to play with the kids if there are any at the park, but I am not allowed just in case I am a bit rough for them ( I don't mean to be).

Mum and Dad brought me some reindeer ears to wear for my christmas photos, but when mum took my photos i was being cheeky and poked my tongue out.

Well its Christmas Day and I like Christmas because I get to have the Pork Bone and a little of the fat from the ham, YUMMY, YUMMY!!!!. Mum and Dad got lots of presents and cards, thats because their special.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everyone, I will speak with you all next month or should I say Year as it will be 2008 when I write my next tale, as there are only 6 days to go for 2007 and what a year its been.

Its back to work for mum and dad next week

Lots of Love

KOSMO xoxoxoxo

P.S: My Mum got a new bloody camera for Christmas, looks like I need to go hide again, otherwise I will get "Kosmo sit, Kosmo do this, Kosmo do that!!!!!!!!!!!

11th November 2007

Well on Sunday 4th November 2007, marked 12mths since my mum and dad brought me home from the RSPCA.

A lot has happened since then ( you can find out just read my previous posts), I have grown up so much since then, done a bit of chewing on things I shouldn't have, but I am now starting to outgrow this, which is probably a good thing. I am getting use to having a bath every 4 weeks by the friendly dogwash lady named,"Grace", she gives me a treat, if I am good.

I have learnt to talk to my mum and dad with a little "WOO WOO", and they love it. The other day my mum was reading a magazine article on "Is your Dog Psychic" and from reading and answering some questions, it seems I am a "Semi Psychic Dog".

I must say I do like shoes especially thongs, give them to me and I will chew them right up till there is nothing left, I know it is naughty but its fun too. I have also learnt when Dad opens the gate not to run out on the road, when my dad says "NO", I stay put, when I am told to sit I do so, so I guess that makes me a very obedient dog.

Since my last tale, my mums friend" Rita" has died from Cancer, that was a very sad time for all of us, as it was sudden.... May she rest in peace. Her husband "RON" is coming to stay with us for a few weeks soon. I can't wait to see him, and give him a big lick up the face, and tell him I am sorry about "Rita", but don't worry Ron, it will be ok.

I have discovered Peanut Butter, it is really really yummy, So are Pigs Trotters.

Well its time to go to bed now......

Till Next Time

KOSMO XOXOXOXO

Monday 1st October 2007

Well today marks the 1st Anniversary of the death of my sister "TINY", it has been a sad day today, but we all must remember that she is still here with us in spirit.

I haven't written a tale since 18.8.07, as not much has happened since then, just getting bigger, and I am shedding my hair, they says its to do with my breed, Mum and Dad had to buy a special rake thingy to brush or rake as they call it, the excess shedding hair out.

Today I had my first swim for the season with my mum, its amazing i remembered how to get in the pool, You should see me, I am good I am.

Well enough now, suppose I better get going now.

Love

KOSMO

P.S Dad got a new job, a permanent one, Good One Dad.

SPECIAL STORY --- Tuesday 3rd July 2007

Today is the 9 mth anniversary of the passing of my big sister "Tiny", she was a mini-foxie in which my Mum and Dad had had for 10 yrs till 3rd October 2006, she had to be put down after the injuries she received during the incident (which my mum doesn't want to elaborate on), cause it hurts to much to talk about it.

Other than this I don't have much to tell you other than I am now 11 months old as of 29th June, and only 26 days to go till my 1st Birthday ( which u would have read about in my previous post to this one).

" I must say that I believe all us dogs and all cats when we do pass on we go to a place where the grass in greener and the sun is out and we all play, at the end of a rainbow, so if you see a rainbow thats where you will find your loved one that has passed on".

My sister had a friend called "SOXY", if you're out there reading this post, to my sister you were a hero, and thanks for comforting her till mum and dad got home, "Soxy" you are a legend.

27th July 2007 -- Kosmo's First Birthday

Kosmo's First Birthday

Today was my 1st Birthday, I had a great day, just lazing around doing nothing, being spoilt.

Mum & Dad gave me 2 pink doughnuts with sprinkles on them, as well as a cup of Milo, they took me to the park as well, then when we came home we had a swim in the pool.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Happy Birthday dear Kosmo

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Hip Hip Hooray.

KOSMO'S FIRST VISIT TO THE VET -- 18/7/07

I thought I would tell you about my first Trip to the vet this morning. My appointment was for 10.15am, but as usual my Mum was running early, so when we got there, they needed some details from us like:
1. What Breed am I?
2. How much do I weigh?
So the nurse put me on this blue mat thing.
I weigh 23kgs (That's heavy says my mum)....Thats about 2 bags of 10kg potatoes, then they asked about my diet. My diet consists of dry food, Scooby Doo" snacks and the occasional bit of tin food, mixed in with my dry food. I also like human food too, like "Cheese". which I might have a piece of once every blue moon or so. I like my vegies like, Peas, Corn & Broccoli and Cauliflower and even potatoes. I like Lamb, Beef and Chicken cuts of meat as well.

Enough about all that! Anyway the reason for going to the vet, my Mum & Dad thought I might have ear mites as I have been shaking my head lots this last couple of days, well it seems I don't have mites, I have a slight ear infection caused by a bit of moisture stuck in my ear from when I had my bath last week.

So Scott ( the vet) gave mum some drops to put in my ears everyday, twice a day, and also some ear & skin cleaner to put in my ears everytime i have a bath or go swimming or get wet, so we were probably there only 15 mintues and it cost $127.50 Boy! Oh! Boy!, us dogs can cost our parents lots of money just to go and visit the vet.

As far as what breed I am! I am a Golden Retreiver X German Shepherd so Scott says, is it any wonder I am a good looking and very intelligent dog with all those traits in me.

Love KOSMO xoxoxo

10th June 2007 -- Almost 11mths Old

Well lots has happened since my last tale, particularly with the weather, let me tell you we have had some really windy rainy weather ( I have never seen weather like it) I have never seen so much water, like a river, and I was cold, bore the weather got really bad Mum and Dad put me in the garage, its good in there, lots of things to chew on, I found a lid off a spray can to chew on, after having a chew for a while I went and layed my cushion and went to sleep and when I woke up all the really bad weather had gone, but the rain was still here, so I went out the side of the yard and just layed in it. The only thing that really really bothered me was being worried about my mum and dad hoping they were sage inside the house.

My mum has had that bloody camera, out again taking photos of me (hopefully they are for her scrapbooking) next month mum will have to take me to the vet, as I will be 1 yard old, and have to have my 12mht booster needle (the thought is a little scary) but I will be ok!

Mum has been going for a walk, everyday except Fridays and Saturdays in which mum goes on her own. We go the same way each day and I see my friends ( The boxer & The German Shepards) they bark at me lots, I am glad I can’t bark like tem, cause I would get into trouble for barking as I never bark, just howl ( but I am actually talking) when I howl.

Well until next month

Woof……..Woof…..Woof

KOSMO

10th May 2007

Well Hello there everyone, its been a while since my last Kosmo Tale, not much has happened in the last month...My mum has left her job to spend more time with Dad & I ( that is so cool), we have been going for a walk everyday, in the afternoon its not as cold at that time of the day.


The other day we went for our walk down in the industrial area, and we seen this ugly looking dog (I think it was a boxer) and all it did was sit at the big fence and bark at me, I think it might have wanted to fight with me, I don’t like to fight with other dogs, just play as I am not a nasty dog…I am a very placid and pleasant dog.


I have been talking to my mum and dad lots lately and they think I am just so beautiful ( which I am)…………….As I said not much to tell you, I am not getting any bigger in height but am getting wider ( must be something to do with my breed).



Till next time “Asta LaVista Baby”
I’ll Be Back

KOSMOXOXOXOXOXOXo

April 2007 - 9mths old on 29/4/07

A couple of weeks ago Aunty Liz, Uncle Vic, Sully and Jai brought down this basket to our house and it had a cat in it, his name is apparently JOSH, he is a tan with white sox paws, they put JOSH inside with Cuddles ( watch out cuddles a stranger coming, be alert, watch your back, he might try to attack you!!!).


Well they let JOSH out of his cage, he layed eyes on Cuddles and she meowed really loudly because she didn’t like him --- and I don’t blame her “a strange cat” in cuddles territory. How dare they do this to her.


Anyway Cuddles attacked Josh twice with Mum having to get them apart. Josh’s eye was bleeding a bit because cuddles clawed it, well looks like Josh ain’t staying here. YIPPEE YIPPEE for Cuddles – MISSION ACCOMPLISHED – NO STRANGE PETS IN OUR HOUSE ****NOT ALLOWED******


TILL NEXT TIME
LOVE ALWAYS
