In celebration of That Awful Dog
This week marks Coco's first birthday, and to celebrate I've gathered most of the Daily Chuck photos that feature her and set them to music. Consequently, this video also turned out to be a celebration of Chuck's enduring patience. I know, I know, we've never done this for Chuck, but I intend to put one together next March to celebrate his seventh birthday. But don't worry about Chuck, right now he's lying on the couch eating a bologna sandwich.
Many thanks to Maker's Mark bourbon for helping us survive a year of living with Satan:

So cute. I'd get a dog if I could guarantee that kind of cuteness.

As long as Chuck has the bologna sandwich, all is at peace in your household.
Also, I just realized that I don't know how to spell bologna.
Coco is beautiful, happy birthday to her :)

A wonderful Coco montage! Are you certain Highway to Hell wouldn't have been appropriate?
Thanks for the viewing.

LOL ALSO! I love how she looks all angelic in most of these, but we all know better.
AND WET PUPPY!!!

Didn't Chuck turn seven years old this year? I just remember the "memorial page" and everyone thought he had died. But, I was just saying...if he's eight, he gets more goodies. And if you're like me, you keep track of more important things based on how old your pet is. Like did I graduate college in 01 or 00. Hmmmm we got the cat in 01, so that was my graduation present. Oh, and something else happened that year, oh yeah, we got married. Love you Dooce and your political talk too. I am totally hooked on Uppercase Woman that one of your commenters recommended. Have a great week.

I really wish I could have come up with two dog names as awesome as that.
And Lauren, you can't spell bologna? Just remember the song. "Cuz Oscar Mayer has a way with B O L O G N A!"

Haha, thank you, Charlie for the reminder! I just kept typing balogna and kept thinking, "No that's not right! Maybe if I re-type it in the exact same way, it'll look correct."

Are you sure it's Coco's birthday? Because a doggie photo montage sounds like a birthday gift to ME.

Happy birthday, Coco!

I can always see why people buy dogs. It's cos they're really cute with they're puppies. Then they grow up.

Wow, she grew up SO fast!!! :)

Every time I see a picture of Chuck, all I can think is "He's just perfect." And all that comes to mind when I see Coco (other than she's absolutely gorgeous) is "Oh my God, what a little shit."

I'm sure you've heard this before - but she's a working breed. She needs to DO stuff. If you provided her with a job, she wouldn't be such a "bad" dog.

She is one beautiful gal. Happy Birthday COCO!

That face is TOO CUTE! The cute ones are always trouble. I also had an adorable yet often-satanic dog.

You mean Chuck has been a puppy too? Can't wait for those pictures! :)
10.24.08 - 04:04 PM / 21Carly said:
How many of those pictures were of Coco pulling on Chuck's collar?

Heather and Jon, you are going to love forever that you have that video -- of both of them. I just love your creativity. You must spend all of your time with a camera in your hand. I would love it if I had done that with Belle all her life. She's 11 now and I'm feeling her time getting shorter with me, and I so wish I had as many wonderful photos of my little McNab -- a true Satan in her own right also -- as you do with yours. I better get started with the time we have left! Thanks for the wonderful tribute.

Talk about a wolf in sheep clothing.
I didn't become aware of your awesomeness (website) until after Coco was already part of the family so I have never seen all of those sweet, sweet little puppy dog pics, with all that cuteness how were you know Satan was in there? I'm thinking you were deceived.
Funny about comment No. 9 (which reminds me that is when I started reading this site the month of the aged 7 years masthead)I too was thinking 7 this year hmmmmmmmm, but since the arrival of Coco none of that probably matters because he may feel more like 77 at this point.
Happy Birthday Coco!! How about a poop cake? ha ha

As I was watching this video my daughter came up and asked what it was. I said "It's a video celebrating Coco's 1st birthday." So she says "Wow...a year already? How old is Chuck?" and I said "He'll be 7 in March."
I love that I know this much about your pets.

Maybe, just maybe, waaaaaaaaay deep down in the depths of his doggie soul, Chuck kind of doesn't mind Coco being around. Maybe. There is a glimmer of love (masked in annoyance and pissed-off-ness) in those images.

Thanks for the retrospective on Coco. I was turned on to your blog by a friend a few months ago, and I particularly enjoy the Chuck and Coco "chronicles." I have friends with sheepdogs, and I know how crazy they are to live with so I commend you! I hadn't seen the puppy pics... OMG, the cuteness is debilitating. She looks like a muppet.

I think you just increased the travel to u-Ziq on iTunes tremendously.

Hey! We call our dog, Wilson "the little shit" or "LS" for short.
Chuck is such a great big brother.
10.24.08 - 04:15 PM / 29Reikigirl said:
Chuck does get his own calendar. I don't think he'll mind too much.
As always, love you guys.
