Gabrielle Invasion

I was trying to get pictures of Cooper doing something funny.  I don't remember what he was doing.

But Gabrielle got curious and foiled my attempts at getting Cooper's antics. 

They say, 'Curiosity kills the cat',  but in my house the curious cat is so cute it gets to be in the blog.  

Get Your Motor Runnin'

When Cooper sees a bike in the drive way, he's on it.

He loves to just jump up and see what he can see from that height.

And he smells his way around the bike to see what he can smell.

He will pose for pictures if he's asked to.

But I think his favorite thing to do is RIDE.

Warming Up In Dunkin Donuts

Spring time rides are CHILLY at the end of the day.

We have been out sometimes after sunset and it really gets cold.

I have to bundle Cooper in his snow suit.

Sometimes we stop for a coffee to chat and warm up.

Our favorite Dunkin Donuts these days has a fire place, which is PERFECT for a chilly pooch... and his people.

TAVVA Chicken BBQ

Here we are at a fund raiser Chicken BBQ to help the Taunton Area Vietnam Veterans Association (TAVVA) raise money.  Cooper is on the bench to my left but you can't see him.

The TAVVA have scholarships and they also want to send a vet to Washington this year.  I hope they reached their goal.

Ganging Up On Cooper

Cooper loves Water play.  He's such a good sport when people play a joke on him.  Watch(click) while THREE of his closest peeps gang up to get him wet.

Slip and Slide With The Kids

Last time my grand kids came over they brought a Slip and Slide to play with.

Cooper loves water play.  He gets right in there with the kids.

 I'm glad the kids don't mind, because I would have to lock Cooper in the house to keep him out of the water.

He loves to play with the kids.  I think he thinks he's one of them.

Spring Cut

It's time... The spring cut and first Blue Doo of the season.

The haircut is done mostly with scissors over 3 days....

And the Blue Doo takes about an hour of laying with me while I color the tips of his hair.  Then a bath...

Ta-Dah!!!!  My Cooper Is BACK!!!

Rockin' It With Tom

We went to the music store and visited our friend Tom.

Cooper was perfectly well behaved, as usual.

We listened to him play for a while as we checked out the guitar we might buy.

Patriot RIders Video Of The Bikers in Maine

This is video of us riding in Maine.  I love when someone takes video of the ride.  I watch the video till I can find us in the pack.  In this video(click), at 1 minute 17 seconds you can see me and Warren.  If you look carefully you can see Cooper's blurry little face peaking out from behind me.

News Clip of the Patriot Riders Event In Maine

The last 9 posts were about this day when Patriot Riders Maine Chapter 1 had their benefit ride to raise money.  It was great to be a part of this ride.  

This is a nice news clip that was on TV in Maine(click).  I didn't get to see it on tv but this link was sent to me to show to you.  

We weren't on the news but the clip is still really cool to see.

A Wonderful Patriot Riders Day In Maine

Fantastic day!

We got to mingle with other Patriot Riders chapters.

We saw our best friends in Maine.

We rode our motorcycles.

Our money went to a great cause to help veterans and community.

I could do this every single day.

And Cooper gets more attention than he could ever need.

  He's such a lucky dog.

Friends In Maine

When we go on any ride in Maine... we have our friends who we don't see often, but they feel like family to us when we do.

We love them...  

Because they are fun...

And silly.
