Welcome to the very first ever ANIPAL PHOTO HUNT
Cokie the Cat is starting a blog photo hunt where we all post photos each Sunday that follow his weekly theme. Pretty cool, huh? This is the first week and "You Looking At Me?" is the theme.
Mommy was able to get da medicine into Boo's ears dis morning all by herself, dad was out gallivanting all over town wif his daddy, so ....mom had to buck up and do it herself and guess what? She managed to get it in her ears and walk away wif all 10 fingers, ok da muzzle may of had somefing to do wif all 10 fingers being accounted for, but hey she did it.
NOTE....Boo is NOT a fan of the MUZZLE!!!!
I haz gone and done it...I iz hiring meself an attorney, hiz name iz Rufus Rabbit, cookie attorney. He will see to it I getz my fees, payable and on time. I know da cookie fairy haz come to our house in da past but I don't fink I haz ever heard of da "Cookie Snatcher"...so mom haz NO excuse for why she is paying me in HALF COOKIES. I don't understand her reasoning....here's my take....
I Titan Tagliavia Pooper Patrolman as sworn, (by RIley da Pooper Captain) will uphold all my duties to notify mommy and daddy whenever somepup haz to go outside for business. I will tell you each and every time, which by the way I exceed my duties in this area as I am ranked MARKSMAN...hehehehehe No pun intended.
The responsibilities of da mommy and daddy is to actually pay me...I mean,.... dey haz to pay my fee for all duties performed, meaning if I inform you by either verbal (bark) or nonverbal (pawing at your arm till you pay attention to me) that a pup, any pup...me, Sandy, or Boo haz to outside and dey GO, den I get getz a WHOLE cookie. Dees were the arrangements Riley left in place before he handed over da responsibility to me. You knew going into dis contract what da terms were and you agreed to dem, so quit stiffin me wif half cookies! No where in da contract does it allow you to modify it for any reason...and da excuse mom gives is BOLOGNA, oh wait dat could subastute for a cookie, but back to my point...WHOLE COOKIES....weight control my batookis...dats right I said "batookis" I am an angry pup, half cookies...!
So if dees conditions are not met, den I will haz Rufus Rabbit, cookie attorney...make some calls. Rufus Rabbit, cookie attorney haz friends in high places I know he haz a friend Zack Rabbit wif television connections...I will go public wif dis injustice if I haz to
******todays rant brought on by a HALF COOKIE*****
I placed Dixie next to him till she begins her journey. I have a froggy holding an umbrella to catch all of Mommy's tears. Those pretty pretty flowers were handmade by Zack Rabbit and sent to him when we first learned he had cancer, He sniffed and sniffed his flowers. The flowers are placed on top of a clay mold of Riley's paw print. The Snowbaby is holding a snowglobe of an angel.I iz on da big bed and I slept and I didn't chew NUFFIN'! Mom sayz I iz getting to be so big. Daddy and me go for walkies and I love to play wif Sandy, but mom keeps calling me a new name and I don't get it....she is calling me "hemorrhoid"...HUH??? She sayz itz cause I walk right behind daddy and I won't let him out of my sight. I try and tell her, I loves my daddy and I fink he is cool and I want to be just like him and go and do everything he does....so I follow him EVERYWHERE he goes.
Riley is home...he now rests on his shelf right beside his sister Lilgurl.
Zaziart iz making a portrait for his wall to hang behind him... http://www.zaziart.net/
I PEED on mommy! Yup when she wasn't looking and daddy was, I lifted my leg and let loose and daddy said "NUFFIN"! Dats right he just laughed and laughed, he finks I am a funny pup. Mom on da otter hand is not really impressed wif my antics dis week, I chewed her baby blanket and now I have gone and peed on her. Daddy tried to reason wif her saying " he is marking his mommy, telling all the other dogs in the neighborhood, you are HIS mommy and don't even think about coming any closer. I don't fink mom bought it....Papa said he would fix her baby blanket this week, so she loves me again....for now.
Mom took her first yoga class today, she really liked it. She said it was an hour of nothingness. She really liked the whole stretch and relax part...she does this at home, i don't know why she thought she needed to go to the gym to relax. I help her relax all day...oh wait yelling "Titan?" is not relaxing...well she does it a lot so i thought she liked it, oops my bad. Boo is starting to eat more, fank goodness she was scaring mommy....as for scaring mommy, we had tornado warnings at our house, we NEVER have tornado warnings, mom wouldn't let us go outside she said we would blow away like Toto did, ahhh who is Toto?
Hello, Titan here.....We are doing as well as can be expected. Mom is getting better and daddy is too...I keep them loaded up in da kisses department, I giving enough for two, (me and da Riguy) Annabelle is grieving big time, she haz been vomiting, but I think she will be ok soon.
I'm sorry to write Riley crossed over Rainbow Bridge yesterday morning, he had a seizure then was diagnosed with fluid on his heart, his mommy and daddy are very sad. I, Titan will be taking over his blog so we can continue to share our misadventures the way Riley would have wanted....so now we are going to call it the Terrible Tagliavia Mis-Adventures.
dis is me afta along nap, i needed another one, hehehehehere is Titan, he is getting so big and uhhmmm BAD!!! he chews everything, but we love him.
me Titan and Sandy hanging out under daddy's chairI did not forget about my bloggie...I haz been workin on some stuff behind da scenes...It'z a SECRET so I can'tz tell you just yet, but itz kinda HUGE!!!!
My PAPA and GRAMMY...dey came to get food from my momz but I know papa really came to check out my eye..and I must say i waz having a very good lookin day, da eye looks outstanding and papa said so too. Mom was very happy to come home dis morning and see dat my eye was looking so good, she finally breathed a little today because of it, she was starting to turn BLUE, hehehehehe.OH OH OH I iz a very bad brudder......
Happy Birthday Titan, I love you Happy one years old!!!!!
I kinda have a bit of a set back going on, you see mommy came home from work yesterday to find me outside wif daddy going for a small morning walkie, she came up and was going to give me kisses till she saw my eye, mind you it doesn't hurt but mommy just looked and stared and then said, "what the BLEEP happened to his eye?" I knew right then my eye must not look good, cause mommy was using some really bad words, .....papa dos words were BAD, wif a capitol B. Anyway I gotz my kisses but not afta mom said I needed to go right in and get some ointment in my eye...let me tell you I get ointment in my eye every hour, dis is NOT da highlight of my day, but mom sayz its good for me. So in da house we go and mom getz out da yucky stuff and squirts it in my eye, yucky yuck yuckers. I got a really good treat afta so its not all bad. Then mom and daddy leave for the gym, they return home and mom says she really doesn't like the look of my eye but the last time this happened all they did was give me Rimadyl and ointment and sent me home, so mom haz both and is using them both to clear up my eye. She takes such good care of me, its not funny. Mom can't wait to come home and check my eye today, I hope it looks better, if not I may have to go back to the vetz...I have had enough visits der, I'm all set wif dat for awhile.
Hi everyone, just wanted to stop by and let you know I am doing great, I have finished my radiation and the eye is well...RED! I iz ok though, and I get to go for my walks everyday wif daddy, "cept in da rain...he thinks he will melt, I try and tell him he is a good daddy but not sweet enough to melt. Mom and I go for walks too, she is more the outdoorsy type to we walk in da rain, mom knows there is nuffin sweet about her....I iz kidding, momma...hehehehehe...Papa will agree wif me so der. Ok so dat is all for now but I promise I will be back here tonight wif an update as to all things RILEY!!!!

I hadz my radiation today....it was not so bad except I had to stay at da hospital for a long time wif out my mommy, i hate dat. Mommy came and gotz me as soon as dey called, she was right here waiting for me when i woke up from my very drug induced nappy. I had a little trouble standing when I got home but mommy cuddled wif me and we took a nappy....ok honestly...I took a nappy and mommy well she watched me sleep, cause she is a worry wort (dats what daddy calls her) Annabelle and Sandy were waiting for me at da door when I gotz home, Titan was barking his fool head off in da crate...I went and said a quick hello den I was ready to SLEEP. Titan climbed up on da bed and we all took a nappy together....
I iz so sorry dis iz all over da place but hey, I got some really good drugs today and they have not quite worn off yet, so I in a la la land state of mind. Lalalala oh look a kitty..... oh where was I ? I fink I might have a touch of ADHD at da moment...
Thank you so much for all your support...we are doing ok, mommy and daddy are still crying every now and then but they are getting better. I start my radiation on Friday at 11 am, they tell me i won't feel a thing. My CT scan went very well the other day however my eye is really really red and swollen, but it doesn't hurt at all. They did find the tumor and it is HUGE we are talking golf ball size as mommy put it, but I don't feel any pain. I know dis cause da doctor tried to push my eye back in my head and I didn't even wince, nothing didn't feel a thing....Mommy and daddy sure did wince, they actually cried at the thought of da doctor hurting me. I am going to see a very nice Dr Lee on Friday and he is going to give me my radiation then I get to go hone and cuddle wif my mommy cause daddy will be going to work.
I haz a tumor called "SARCOMA" behind my eye...da vet said it is an aggressive type of cancer. Mom and daddy keep crying and giving me hugs and kisses. Mommy sayz I iz going to start radiation next week to keep me comfortable, I am in no pain so mom iz happy bout dat...but dat is all she is happy about...she tells daddy her whole world is falling apart. I will bloggie more later but right now I haz to go take care of mommy...dose tears just keep coming...i getting all wet, shake shake shake....
Hi everyone just wanted to let you know that I go for my CT scan in the morning....Mommy haz to drop me off at 7:30 am and I can not go home till after 9pm...dis iz going to be a very long day away from my mommy. I don't like it one bit and I know my mommy hates it as much as I do, daddy sayz he getz a raw deal on dis blog cause I never mention him but I know he loves me as much as mommy does, so daddy I mention you ok? My daddy iz da bestest daddy ever....Hi daddy!!!!
I iz going to the vet hospital today for a follow up appointment for my eye, please wish me luck and say a pray for me that it iz an infection and not a tumor, fanks.....
I am very sick right now, I haz a swollen eye and da vet finks it may be a tumor pressing on my eye making it pop out of socket, dis is not good and Mommy is a wreck...things don't look good and da vet said I can not see out of dat eye anymore...dats ok i know where my mommy, daddy and food bowl are...so i ok wif dat. I am not in pain, but i look funny wif one BIG eye bulging out of my head...I am on lots of medicines. We should know more by Monday, please say a prayer for me, fanks in advance.....hugs, Riley
Well mommy is finally letting me get on my bloggie, but it is only to tell you that I am moving and won't be on all that much over the next few days. We have to wait for internet service at da new house, stupid stupid stupid...I want to blog...I iz a bloggie doggie don't dey understand? Mom sayz to be patient and dey may have a cancellation, yeah right...I fink she is trying to pacify me. I haz lots to tell you but no time to get it all in....Daddy and mommy are both on vacation now while we are moving...oh did I mention we are moving on Wednesday and Tuesday we are getting a snow storm...I bet you can imagine how so very happy this makes mommy. Mommy loves the first snow fall...then she is DONE wif snow for the rest of the winter.
Mommy managed to get her Red Sox tickets...she is so happy, dis is da one game mommy and daddy goto every year...they sit in da EMC Club and feast on Lobster Rolls and Turkey Club sandwiches and are surrounded by the Silver Slugger Bats, Gold Gloves and 2 World Series Trophies. Dey even take a private escalator to the EMC Club, no waiting in line...VIP treatment, now you see why dey only go once a year?

The inside of the club is climate controlled with an elegant restaurant and three full-service bar areas. Outside you will find padded seats with a TV screen in each section and some of the best views in baseball.

Hi mom is working on something, I'll tell you about it in a few.....hint....
Moms story is going to be published in a book!!!!!
Just have a second, I was snoring da night away and den Titan wanted to go outside so daddy is wif him now, but i haz to get back in der so Sandy can't have my cuddle spot next to daddy...she already had it earlier to day, not fair.....
Mom told me she and daddy were gonna go paint the old house yesterday...well I'm not sure how much paint actually made it on da walls cause mommy was covered in purple paint, she looked pretty but paint stinks, I no like it. Daddy said he painted da ceilings and da walls in da hallway, but I no believe him, he wasn't wearing any paint. Mom painted and wore paint, daddy says he painted but no paint to be found, hmmm whats a pup to fink? Is someone lying or did daddy change his clothes??? Mom and daddy say dey are going back today to finish up some more painting....mom will finish da bafroom and daddy will work on da living room and hallways, dey say if dey have time dey are gonna start da bedroom. I don't fink dey gonna have time cause mommy is gonna wanna sleep and if she doesn't get to sleep she can be CRANKY!!!!! I fink daddy will bring her n=home and den go back and finish so he no have to listen to her complain about not sleeping....if he was smart this would be the plan.
Mommy tells me we have heat at da old house, now I can go for rides over der and visit. We have heat and water, woohoo...mommy was at da old house last night and it was 64 degrees, mommy was laughing cause the house has never been 64 degrees before, we like it on da cool side or at least mom does, me NOT SO MUCH!!! I got short fur and not a lot of coverage..so I haz to be under my blankies. Mom says she is going to paint this weekend and next..she mentioned changing the kitchen to a reddish color...I fink it will be cool, but DON"T move my food dish...leave it right where I left it, on da floor next to da cabinets...no no no don't touch it. She also said she is painting her and daddy's bedroom, she finks she is going to paint it eggplant but I don't fink daddy is going to let her, hehehehehe. Mommy I fink will get her way she always does, but don't tell daddy, I tell him he wins so I not hurt his feelings. Eggplant, not sure how I'm going to spin the daddy win on this one but I a smart pup, I'll figure it out, I haz to our manly pupness is at stake.
Hi Papa and Zack and my otter anipals....we did a whole lot of nuttin today, but I heard mommy tell daddy I was going for a ride tomorrow, Daddy said he needed a coffee buddy, that's me, that's me!!! We are gonna go to the old house and drop off da new lights and see da new furnace...HEAT!!!! Dey are going to turn it on on Monday so daddy says I haz to wear my coat cause it is going to be cold there...dats ok I love my coat. Mommy will be home sleeping wif Titan cause she haz to go out den to work tomorrow night, she is busy, sometimes she never stops...I hope I get my cuddle time wif her tomorrow???
me and my daddy, doing what we do best...SLEEPING!!!!!
Dis is me and mommy sleeping...notice a theme???
Ok we look awake for this one, mom woke me to take it....not nice mommy, notice I iz not smiling!
!
Here is mommy and Boo
Hi to all my friends, we as a household didn't do much today...we kinda all just hung out. Mom and I cuddled for some of da morning, then she and daddy went to visit Gram and guess what? They didn't take Sandy. Nope she stayed home wif me...we cuddled on da couch, it was very cold outside mommy said, somefin like 10 degrees. I know it was cold cause mommy put my stylish coat on me so I could go outside, she loves me, she really loves me, hehehe. When mom and daddy got home I guess it was time for football cause daddy had that glazed over look in his eyes as he watched the big talking square box. He shouted at da fing many times..mom calls it da TV, but I call it da big talking box. Anyway...Titan was kinda a god boy at least I didn't hear dad say any of dos bad words at him. Annabelle needed her barking collar today...I fink she got a little too comfortable not having it on, but boy did she remember what it was when she tried to bark at Sandy over of all fings my space on da couch wif daddy...ahem girls.... dat spot is mine!!!!!! Later in da day I decided I'd had enough of da pups I was gonna go nappy wif mom...and she cuddled me right up and we slept till she had to go to work.
me and my daddy
Lorinda I saw this and all I could think of was you!!!
