Murphey's Meme

This meme was originated by my friend Steve who lives somewhere out in the desert. I read each question to Coco and am recording his answers:


My name is…COCO a.k.a. MR. C, COO COO, CC, MR. COCO.

I come from...THE SAN ANGELO HUMANE SOCIETY.

I’ve been on Earth for…ANYWHERE FROM 10-12 YEARS, BUT I'LL NEVER TELL MY REAL AGES.

I met my person when he…RESCUED ME FROM DEATH ROW AT THE DOG POUND. I WAS A KNOTTED, TANGLED MESS. STEPHEN SENT ME DIRECTLY TO THE GROOMER AND HAD ME SHAVED. THE GROOMER FOUND A VERY TIGHT LEATHER COLLAR AROUND MY NECK AND CUT IT OFF. SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DEVELOPE A STRONGER BARK AND I'M MUCH HEALTHIER.

My favorite other pet is…THE LATE MS. PUDDIN’ AND COUSIN MURPHEY. I SURE MISS MS. P.

Here I am with Ms. Puddin and Stephen. I'm the fuzzy little brown one.


I’ve traveled…ONLY IN TEXAS.

At night, when my person is asleep, I…SNORE, TWITCH AND MAKE OTHER WIERD NOISES. OH YEAH, I LIKE TO STRETCH OUT AND TAKE UP AS MUCH ROOM IN THE KING SIZED BED AS I CAN.

Every morning, my person is so predictable; the first thing that he does is…PUTS HIS CLOTHES ON AND TAKES ME WALKING, HIDES MY PILLS IN A "MEAT BALL" AND GIVES ME BREAKFAST.

My favorite food that isn’t sitting in my dog dish would be…ANYTHING THAT ISN'T IN THE BOWL.

I love it when my person…SCRATCHES ME ALL OVER.

My favorite toy is…MY BED, I DON'T REALLY PLAY WITH TOYS TOO MUCH ANYMORE, I LIKE TO LAY IN THE BED AND PLAY LIKE I'M A PAPER WEIGHT.

One thing that makes my person laugh is when I…MAKE LIKE A SHEEP DOG AND "HERD" HIM TOWARDS THE PANTRY WHERE THE DOG TREATS ARE KEPT.

Tagged for a Halloween MEME...

It looks like I've been tagged for a Halloween MEME, thanks SPO.

1. WHAT WAS THE SCARIEST MOVIE YOU HAVE EVER SEEN?

I think I would have to say SAW and SAW II. I think they really creeped me out because it was such a mind game.

My friend and I went dressed as Batman and Robin. We thought we were so cool.

3. GIVEN ENOUGH MONEY WHAT WOULD BE YOUR FANTASY HALLOWEEN COSTUME?

I would like to be Michaelangelo's David. Now that would take a lot of money.

4. WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU WENT TRICK OR TREATING?

I was in the 7th grade and got some dirty looks from a few people handing out candy.

5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HALLOWEEN CANDY?


Those little orange pumpkins that taste just like candy corn.

6. TELL US ABOUT A SCAREY NIGHTMARE YOU ONCE HAD.

Several times I have had nightmares about being chased by some sort of "monster". I never did see what was chasing me, I just knew it was something really bad.

7. WHAT IS YOUR SUPERNATURAL FEAR?

Bein alone and being visited by a ghost/specter.

8. WHAT IS YOUR "CREEPY - CRAWLY" FEAR?

Something grabbing my foot when I'm standing by the bed. (weird huh?)

9. TELLL US A TIME WHEN YOU SAW A GHOST OR HEARD SOMETHING GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT.

One night when I was home by myself I was upstairs in bed watching TV. Suddenly one of my dogs came to full alert and began barking and growling while facing the bedroom door. It really unnerved me so I turned the TV off to see if I could hear anthing. I finally decided that she must have been dreaming because I never did hear anything.

10. WOULD YOU STAY OVERNIGHT IN A HAUNTED HOUSE?

No way! I spook entirely too easy.

11. ARE YOU A TRADITIONALIST OR A CREATIVE CARVER OF YOUR JACK-O-LANTERN?

Mostly a traditionalist because I'm not patient enough to carve something creative.

12. HOW MUCH DO YOU DECORATE THE HOUSE FOR HALLOWEEN?

Not too much. I decorate mostly by placing some "Autumny" things around the house along with pumpkins that eventually become Jack-O-Lanterns.

13. WHAT DO YOU WANT ON YOUR TOMBSTONE?

Finally, No More Diets!!!

Old Photos

I was perusing through some folders on my computer and I came accross a couple of photos that I thought were worth sharing. This first one is a picture of Murphy, he is the love child of my dear friend Steve aka Steve's Whirleyworld. Murphy really does have eyes, they're just hard to see in this picture. Hey Murphy, cousin Coco says "Hi".

This is a photo of a poor ugly creature who after caught stealing in 2000 and 2004 was forced to leave politics, have a sex change and work as an airline attendtant. I pity this hags coworkers. Rumor has it that she can score you some righteous smack!

On a more serious side: I interviewed for a new position within my company yesterday. It is a position that will be dealing with something that I am very unfamiliar with, but I thought what the heck. If I don't get it, it's not the end of the world. If I do get it, I will sh*t my pants! I'll let you know what happens.

See you next time.
