Luigis personality in all things

Luigi is like other dogs -  playful and active but all dogs like humans have different traits for instance he is very good humoured  (He likes being picked up so he is quite long suffering).

His star sign is Sagittarius. Sagittarius are fun loving, generous and extremely friendly and his birthstone is topaz. Luigi is quite bumptious and full of himself but over all is very friendly. Luigi is suspicious of men but after a while gets on well with them.

luigis new friend

Luigi has a new friend. His name is Murphy and he is a cocker spaniel. He and Luigi have had a sleep over while Murphy's owners went on holiday.

Murphy's was very good and Luigi got very very tired. Murphy loves all the rabbits in the garden so he and Luigi spent most of the time looking down rabbit holes! It was fun having two dog and they loved to play. murphy loves going on walks

but does not like it when we let luigi off lead.

Here is a comic stirip about Luigi on a walk cilck on it to make it bigger.

This is not a true story.

luigis birthday!

Luigi is now one year old! His birth day was on the 14th of December. We did not do anything for his birthday but here are some photos of Luigi - big and small, fluffy and not, from his year with us!

luigis operation

On the 5th of December Luigi went to the vets to be neutered We took Luigi inside and after a long talk on how we had to treat him after his operation, we left him on his own (and he howled of course).

We went to pick him up a 4.00! Luigi was a new dog. He was shaking and crying. We took him back home. He lay by the fire and cried. He slept in mums room that night -all night he was crying. (he did not like his collar of course). In the morning he was a bit better so we put up the Christmas decorations.

Next day Luigi was better and he was being so funny! he was running and went under the table and got stuck! We had to rescue him and he was very grateful!

Today we went back for a check up on his stitches. All was OK. Luigi has his stitches out on the day after his birth day the 15Th of December.

luigi the new dog

Luigi has gone to the grooming parlor. We dropped him off at nine and went to Norwich for the morning.

When we got back we saw a dog and what a dog!! It's was Luigi but wow! He looks so funny! Here is a photo of him before the groom. and now here is the new luigi!!!

luigis friend

Luigi has had a dog friend for a long time. His name is Charlie.

When they first met Luigi was very scared, but as he got bigger he and Charlie got to like each other more and more. Soon they loved to play with each other. Luigi will lie on his back and Charlie will bite him. Luigi will try to run but Charlie will catch him quickly for he is a border collie. He loves to do agility and has won one rosette.

He and Luigi get on well which is good for we see him every week. We go on walks with Charlie and they will run and jump on each over (well Charlie will jump on Luigi!)

Here is a photo of luigi and charlie. if you want to know more about charlie go to my friends blog

some one in the phone

When my dad goes away to work we like to speak to him on the phone. So does Luigi! When we have finished we put it on loud speaker and dad talks to Luigi. Luigi loves it when he does. He will try to get him out of the phone. He goes mad! Some times he will whine but it's fun to watch him.

This photo is one we call 'mop dog!'

puppy on a bike

Luigi is going on bike rides. Some times he is in a basket on the back of a bike. But what he loves is to run next to the bikes.

We all love to watch him run. Sometimes he nearly gets run over by the bikes but not yet. If he runs in front of you so you nearly run him over, he looks at you as if to say "What do you think you're doing coming up behind me - you could have killed me!"

When he was little he was in his basket and in the basket is a clip to clip the dog in. We were biking along and he jumped out and was hanging there! Luckily my dad was behind me so he did not get hurt. If we do a good long ride he gets a really good walk.

At first Luigi howled when in the basket but now he loves to go in it (he likes it best when he has had a long walk first!)

coton de tulear owners

As a owner of a coton de tulear I can safely say it's a good dog for all.

He is a cute dog, fun to play with (bites a bit though if I wind him up). He is so friendly but does bark at people who do not pat him! We all love him. But he loves to play in the mud - not good when you're white and fluffy.

We took him for a walk in the rain. He got very wet and he is so tiny under all that hair! But he loved it - running through puddles. We were all wet and he was wet but happy. Now he is by the fire sleeping.

Me and Luigi have been doing lots of training. When he comes in all wet from the garden, if there is a towel on the floor he will lie down on it. I am also training him 'jump' where he jumps over my brother or me. His best game is catch me, where he gets a sock and we chase him. He loves it. We don't!

He great dog but does not look like one. He thinks he is the best dog in the world. He loves all people and thinks that all people love him. We do but not every person does - especially when he is wet and muddy and wants to jump at you.

my puppy

Luigi is my puppy. He is cute fun and loves all living things. He is hard to have for one thing - we all have to groom him. He does not like being groomed. That is a big problem, but he makes up for that in the way he loves to make you happy.

At the moment I am teaching him BANG. All you do is make a gun with your hands, shoot, say bang, push him over. He is getting better and will now go half way and I push him the rest of the way.

We have started to take him on bikes. We have a small cage on to back of my bike. He rides in that and sometimes we let him to run. He can run 11 miles an hour! Only sometimes do we go at that speed - mostly we go at 5 or 6 miles an hour but its a good walk for Luigi.

coton de tulear pups

Luigi is fun dog but he has his problems - like he loves to play with my dads socks!

He is doing agility which he is not to keen on but is getting very good. He is good and easy to train and we love training time! His best toy is pooh bear - my brothers baby toy. Pooh bear has lost one ear but Luigi still loves him!

We put up a dog rules board and Luigi looked at it for and long time. We think he does not like PLEASE IGNORE LUIGI WHEN YOU COME DOWN STAIRS OR COME BACK INTO THE ROOM. He loves his walks, but if it rains he will lie on his belly and will not move. We all love him and he loves us, but we think he has a blog named http://my-humans.blogspot.com/ where he writes about the funny things we do!

coton de tulear tricks

Me and Luigi love to play. I like to teach him new coton de tulear tricks and he loves the treats!
Luigi has learnt lots of tricks but how do you do them?

high five
First get very nice treats. Next call him and make him sit. Hold both your hands up so that he has to jump. As he jumps to get the treat, meet his paws and say 'high five'. Soon you can just hold your hands up - no treats.

paws
First get a lovely treat. Next get him to sit. Hold the treats just above his head. Hold out the other hand next to his paw. Tap the paw gently. He should lift his paw up. Let the paw rest on your hand and say 'paw'. If you keep up the good work your dog will be so well trained.

beg
have a treat and have your dog siting. Lift the treat up and let the dog jump up to get it. As he jumps say 'beg'. When he is begging give him the treat. The longer the he can stay up the better. If he begs and you have not told him to, ignore him and have a dog that does not beg!

I would like you to comment if you try doing these tricks. Please tell me if it worked.

cool puppy names

When we got a dog we knew his name from before we had a puppy. It was LUIGI. We had named him this because we watch the dog whisperer TV shows. There was a dog named Luigi and it was so nice and good. It did not do anything when a dog barked at him. So we said, when we get a dog we will name him Luigi.

Now our dog is bad so we have come up with cool puppy names for your dog. Hope your dog is more good than ours . His pedigree name is Buddy's bouncing boy.

a day of a cotons life

Today it is Monday. We have been slacklining. Luigi jumped up while I was on it so I picked him up and he bit me, so he got put in the pen.

The alarm man came next and Luigi jumped up, so I put him in the garden. We went back to the slackline and Luigi went to sleep. Me and my brother went in for lunch but I forgot the sleeping dog so I had to go back out to get it!

After lunch we played and Luigi slept. An hour later we went to the riding shop, then we went to get some dog food but there was no dog food. After that we took Luigi for a walk. Then we went to the garden center to buy a leash for a friend. Last but not least we went to Jolie's to buy some dog treats (and get the dog food).

PS slacklining is like a tightrope but slack. It is great fun.

cool cute coton de tulear

When we walk on the street or in the forest lots of people say 'cute dog' and SOME smile and some giggle.

So if you don't like being the center of attention do NOT get a coton de tulear.

A coton de tulear is the first dog I have had in my life of 10 years but I think that a coton is a good first dog.

coton de tulear off lead

Luigi is now off lead!

His first time off lead was on the beach. We all said he will run around us and keep an eye on us, and when we let him off it was as if we had said 'heel'. He had the best time he had had in a long time.

He met two dog and he liked the dogs so much he tried to follow them, but he came when we said come. Luigi loves his walks and he really really likes walks off lead.

Never ever let your dog off lead near a road for if your dog sees a dog or person he might go across the road. Luigi loves people so much he will whine if we don't go near them.

coton de tulear in the snow

It's Luigi first snow and he loves it. But lots of snow gets stuck in his fur so he has to go into his cage so he can defrost! He is not built to go in the snow so he cannot go in the deep snow. He still loves snow - as you can see he loves to run and play chase.

We went for a walk and Luigi had to be carried because the snow is so deep.

Luigi's first snow man has collapsed!
