Pre-dawn
Jake
Oriana and Celina like to walk Jake down to Starbucks and get him a Pupachino. Normally, not much happens other than Jake gets lots of attention from strangers, which he loves, and between all the attention, the walk, and the Pupuchinos, he is worn out. When they brought Jake back this afternoon, he was wound up.
The story goes that on the way to Starbucks, Oriana dropped Erma’s card she was to use to pay for Erma’s order. When Oriana discovered she didn’t have the card, she ran back to the office to see if she left it at the office and then started looking for it on her way back to Starbucks.
Meanwhile, Jake got excited by all the commotion about the missing card, and Oriana taking off to run back to the office and pulled himself free from Celina. Celina said that instead of running after Oriana, Jake ran around the Starbucks building and ran up to the drive-up window, presumably to order another Pupachino. Celina extracted Jake from the drive-up window and met Oriana, who had not found Erma’s card.
On the way back to the office to tell Erma they had lost her card, Jake stopped to sniff and roll, and there was the card where Jake had stopped. They ran back to Starbucks, got Erma’s order, and ordered Jake another Pupachino as a reward for finding the card. All in the day in the life of a Cosmo Dog!
Off Center & Not Even 
All’s well that ends well. Great pics too.
Thanks, Cindy
I am sure he’s looking coward to some Pupuchinos, who wouldn’t. Great photos!
Thanks, Holly.
Very nice. We are heading off to do some wlaking oruselves. looking forward to catching up when we come back.
Thanks, Shey. Have a great time. Stay out of trouble the best you can.
We did. Lol
I’m happy to hear that.
Well okay…we broke very hot tub rule going and flooded a downstairs bedroom. Ut was the oldest grandie’s bedroom and we were tired telling him that just cos his uncle said put water on the sauna ..which we also had…he never said pour buckets on. But there seeing was believing when his mam called him down. I was glad to see my words to him about ‘Well…. so long as that water isn’t running rhrough anyone’s ceiling, this was fine…’ were prophetic.
Oh and did I mention one of the sofas. It got some drinks spilt on it and as the girls were tossing up re who would go report it to reception, as we were leaving…. (largely cos the younge rone had been the one to complain when we all arrived re the lodge not being ready …. oh and she got us free drinks out of it…) anyway as they were tossing up, I sorted matters by lifting the seat and turning it over.
That was brilliant of you to simply turn the seat over. When the next guest spills drinks and has to turn the seat over, “Surprise!”
I know… It will come down to Miss Marple to find out which sete of guess that was….. In the meantime, last in and all that.
Hahaha!
There are hot tub rules? Of course, you would have to break them. As long as the flooding is downstairs, all is fair in love and floods.
When we were in Santiago de Compostela with Laurie’s brother, we had a really cute pension with an open shower. Laurie’s brother couldn’t figure out how the shower worked and got water everywhere but on himself.
Yeah there were rules re no kids under 4 incase they drowned. No glassware, no having the jets on full time all the time. I cannae mind the rest. But there was a lot. We all agreed and I saw it was a common complaint on the ‘estimed’ tripdadvisor that the instructions and rules were nowhere to be found. They were. They were just nowhere near the tub. So we never saw them till we were locking up. AS for the flooding…well that was the sauna and the oldest grandie bunging bucket upon bucket of water on it cos his uncle said that was what you did, and no taking a telling, on it. Like that, seeing was beleiving when his mother took him downstairs to show him his bedroom . He fair shut up then.
If you had known the rules, you would have had no fun. Or you would have had a lot of fun knowingly breaking the rules.
As Lady Fury once said, ‘Some rules are made to be broken….’
Most rules need to be broken—there are too many rules in this world.
Yeah…all made by certain folks too….
I think the world breaks down into those who can’t and won’t do anything if there’s no instructions and then they complain about it and those who give whatever a try, even with unexpected consequences.
People with no imagination and can’t figure things out for themselves bug.
Exactly. No boldly going. And then they do your head in by moaning.
When they go into their whine fest, it makes you want to go to a wine fest.
Yeah ..pass the glass. In fact..hold the glass, just gimme the bottle.
Remember this one? https://youtu.be/oMh1pCQ9Q_w?si=ohBrpS1ocjw-XCjZ
The vid was not available Timohy but I will keep looking.
The song is “Bottle of Wine, Fruit of the Vine.”
Gotcha re the song.
Smart pup dog with a reward of a pupachino on the house! i love it. He might have a new career❣️
He has made some major changes as it is. Thanks, Cindy.
Bravo Jake! What a neat story.
Love all the pictures too.
Thanks, Nancy.
Good on ya, Jake!!
Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Awww, Jake
These photos are stunning!
Thanks, Dawn.
What a great story! Can I borrow Jake? I can’t find my damn glasses! 😂
That’s a bit of a conundrum since you have to see to find your glasses. Thanks, Tiffany
Fun story with a happy ending and beautiful photos!
Thanks, Rebecca.
Very exciting morning.
It was. Thanks, Gigi.
Great story!!!
Thanks, Susan.
whew ! what an adventure: I’m exhausted just reading it 🙂 great photos, Tim —
Thanks, John. Time for a nap?
hAHAHA; yes 🙂
Jake is a busy dog! He looks handsome in pink lighting. I can picture him racing around and around the Starbucks. Lots of excitement for him today.
Dawn comes late these days. I think NM goes back on Standard Time on November 3rd?
I love the dark backgrounds in the flower photos, and the candles. The orange-gold glow on the mountains, river and sky is a beautiful end to the day.
We will change it to MST on November 3rd. A week earlier than last year. Thanks, Lavinia.
Well done, Jake.
Thanks, Robbie.
Inspector Jake definitely deserves a pupaccino for his detective skills and for preventing credit card fraud!
Jake was the hero of the day. Thanks, JYP.
Hahahaha!
Love this story Tim.
Do you think Jake stopped where he did because he could smell the girls on the card?
Fabulous!
Oh.. love the shots.
Most likely. He smells everything. His motto is “So many smells. So little time!” Thanks, Resa.
Great dog motto!
Good job, Jake! That’s quite a talent. Hugs.
Thanks, Teagan. Jake works hard to earn attention and pupachinos.
Phew … glad Jake got that sorted! Great shots Tim …
Thanks, Julie.
Now a credit card sniffer is a talent you could leverage into some big bucks! Don’t tell my dogs you can get Pupachinos, we are already unable to pass the golden archs without them going absolutely bonkers for fries.
Apparently, when Jake went to the front of the line in the drive-up lane, the barista and the driver found him adorable. Jake doesn’t know about the golden arches. Thanks, Brian.
