cockapoos make good pets

Me and my Cockapoo, Butterscotch. 1/2 Cocker Spaniel, 1/2 Poodle. Here's some info about the breed for y'all who don't know.

Breed Group: Not AKC Recognized

Weight: 6-19 lbs

Height: 14-15 inches

Color(s): white, cream, tan and all combinations of these

Coat: The Cockapoo is a mixed breed without a breed standard, however the preferred coat is dense, curly or heavily wavy, and close. The Cockapoo should carry coat characteristics from both the Poodle and the Cocker Spaniel.

Overview: The Cockapoo is highly intelligent, retaining much of that from the Poodle breed, and becoming very popular as a companion animal. A sturdy little dog, they have a great disposition. This breed can also be somewhat passive and can also be dog aggressive if not given the proper socialization.

Character: The Cockapoo is loyal, intelligent, and very affectionate. This dog is fairly easy to train being mixed with what is said to be one of the smartest dogs in the world. Being that this dog is mixed with the Poodle, he makes a wonderful training student. Having a very sweet nature, this dog is sure to steal the hearts of many.

Temperament: This breed is eager to please, vigorous, and friendly, making him a popular choice as a companion. The Cockapoo generally gets along with children and other animals, but should always be supervised. The Poodle and Spaniel in this mix can both have aggression problems if not dealt with at a young age.

Care: The Cockapoo should be brushed and combed regularly. It is said that this breed is little to no shedding, however when being brushed hair does come out making shedding even less common. Clipping is required at least once a year.

Training: The Cockapoo is a very intelligent dog, making training a breeze at times. This dog does well in obedience, and with the right training techniques and proper handling this dog will thrive. This dog requires firm handling, but can be somewhat sensitive to the tone of your voice so training should be consistent and relatively firm yet gentle.

Activity: The Cockapoo is a happy-go-lucky dog that loves to run and play with his family. No yard is fine, but this dog does require daily walks. They also have the tendency to overeat so exercise is needed for this dog to stay healthy.

Sometimes I love him, and other times he can be a big pain in the ass. But hey, that's love. And he loves snuggles. :)

He'll be a year old August 26th.

Public Apology.

This deserved an entry in itself.

If you don't know John Mayer or are a fan of his, then you won't get this or his sense of humor, which is funny...if you get it.



An apology fraught with giggles and people trying not to laugh. So right there you can tell it ain't no apology...*laughs*.

wikipedia...apparently you can find anything on here.

I did a little experiment. Just to see.

I thought of some words, the first words that popped into my head, and typed them into wikipedia's search engine. Every single stinking word I thought of had an entry:

1. Orgasm
2. Wine cooler
3. jabberwocky
4. underwear [even talks about the freakin' history of underwear]
5. Facebook
6. itch

wow. amazing! ha ha ha.

some people just don't get it.

...and I'm speaking in reference to my ex-boyfriend.

We went out for three months and it wasn't really that great. He was an asshole and treated me like shit.

Now, he comes into my place of work tonight and tells me he was an asshole and that "maybe we could start over." First of all, I was the main one giving in that relationship. I wasn't appreciated. I don't have anything more to give to him and I don't want to. I told him as such. He said he understood, but he's asked me to get back together with him before.

We'll see if he FINALLY gets it.

a baby with 25 middle names.

Now this is weird.

I found a news story on Yahoo! about a baby girl with 25 middle names.

*****

LONDON (AFP) - Baby Autumn Brown has a name to live up - in fact she has over 25 of them.

The little girl's mother Maria, in keeping with her boxing-mad family's bizarre tradition, decided to give her 25 middle names - all culled from the greatest exponents inside the ring.

Her full name, which left register office staff in Perton, Wolverhampton reeling is: Autumn Sullivan Corbett Fitzsimmons Jeffries Hart Burns Johnson Willard Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Baer Braddock Louis Charles Walcott Marciano Patterson Johansson Liston Clay Frazier Foreman Brown.

Maria told the city's Express and Star: "The whole thing came about because both my mum and dad are obsessed with boxing and have a bit of a daft sense of humour.

"When I was young I couldn't ever remember my name. It took me to the age of 10 to memorise it all."

The 33-year-old mother added: "I'm hoping Autumn has a good sense of humour with her name. It's never done me any harm though."

*****

25 middle names is a little weird, weird sense of humor or not. It also reminds me of a show I saw on VH1 about celebrities and what they named their babies. Puma and Rain Beau came up and those aren't bad...and then there was Pilot Inspecktor and Audio Science.

Poor kids.

sweeeet.

I was the blog of day for June 19th. A little late in posting, I know, but I just checked my e-mail. This gives me confidence to keep on writing, 'cause apparently people enjoy it. *laughs*
