Every once in a while we get a question about Coco and her wheelchair. Although when she’s home lazing around on the sofa (which is most of the time) she doesn’t need wheels and most of the time when she’s lounging around in the backyard she doesn’t need them either. But when it’s time to get out and about those wheels make it a lot easier to keep up and get moving quickly.
Coco’s wheels came from Eddie’s Wheels. They make all sizes, we’ve even seen one on their website made for a sheep! Big dogs, small dogs, rear wheel carts, front wheel carts, even carts for pet that need assistance with all four!
Coco has had her cart for about 6 years now and still gets admiring looks when she steps out for a walk.
We have no association with Eddie’s Wheels, in fact they don’t even know we’re talking about them, but if you have a pet who needs a little help or you just want to read some inspirational stories you might want to check them out.

This year Coco and Harriet had a “behind the scenes” role at the Oscars. It seems that quite a few of Hollywood’s finest were seeking out advice and encouragement from the girls. Although their owners were forced to watch from afar (very afar – at home in their living rooms) here you can see Coco trying to calm down a very nervous Robert Downey Jr.
 It worked! Maybe too well!
Here you can see Harriet coaching Billy Crystal’s reaction to Melissa McCarthy’s antics. Rumor has it the Melissa and Harriet hit the minibar long before Melissa and Rose Byrne took to the stage.
 Those girls definitely know how to have fun!
Coco just knew that Zach Galifianakis was going to drop those cymbals. She tried to warn him, but Will Ferrell said it was going to be fine.
And finally – here’s Harriet making sure those Oscars are lined up and looking good.

Coco and Harriet were not invited to the Golden Globes this year.
I know, I know, they couldn’t believe it either. For weeks they each checked their mailboxes, called the Hollywood Foreign Press Office, called their friends, talked to their therapists. No dogs allowed. That’s what they were told.
So the girls decided to make the best of it, checked into a bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel, ordered up a bottle of champers from room service and turned on the TV.
And they watched…
Ricky Gervais had taken to the drink.
Meryl was just not herself without her most beloved fans.
And they they saw it.
Uggie, the Jack Russell from “The Artist” trotting up to accept.
No dogs allowed?
We think not.

 Puce (often misspelled as “puse”,”peuse” or “peuce”) is a color that is defined as ranging from reddish-brown to purplish-brown, with the latter being the more widely-accepted definition found in reputable sources. Puce is a shade of red. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) dates the use of “puce” (in couleur puce) from 1787. The first recorded use of puce as a color name was in the 14th century, in the French language.[1] In French, puce literally means “flea”, and the usual coloration of a flea is dark reddish-brown or dark purplish-brown; specifically, it is the color of the belly of a flea.[verification needed] The word originates, through the French puce, from Old French pulce, from Latin pūlic-, pūlex.

 What do you think about the current bed bug infestation?
Harriet: “I think the current bed bug infestation is being exploited by the press and besides, bed bugs can be a delicious snack”
Coco: “Harriet, you pampered bitch! Those bed bugs have been around since the Bush administration and now everyone is trying to blame Obama.”

The King’s Speech, Best Picture! Harriet knew it all along! (now it’s off to the after parties!)
They knew it all along – Natalie in Black Swan!! As you know from a previous post the grrrrls had brief cameos in the ballet scenes but they only made it to the director’s West Highland Terrier’s cut.
Coco was rooting for the Banksy movie for documentary, but oh well, you can’t win them all!
Helen Mirren telling jokes in french always cracks Harriet up!
James Franco and Anne Hathaway are so happy to see Coco and Harriet. (we heard that James Franco refused to go onstage until Coco and Harriet were seated)
Coco and Harriet report from the Green Room:
Harriet is still waiting for her Kir Royale at the bar and apparently Reese Witherspoon dropped her curried chicken puff just before her interview.

Coco and Harriet would like to congratulate Hickory Wind on her Westminster Best in Show!
on February 15th, 2011%
 original image thanks to graphicsfairy.blogspot.com Happy Valentine’s Day from Coco and Harriet!
And what better way to spend Valentine’s Day than watching the Westminster Dog Show? We certainly can’t think of anything better. First of all – Coco and Harriet think that Miles, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is one cute pup!
 Next up, the non-sporting group – that includes the French Bulldogs and Coco and Harriet discuss Bully’s chances. Alas, some shar pei they never heard of won. There’s no accounting for taste. We’ll see what happens tomorrow when they have Best of Show.

 Coco and Harriet discuss Angelina Jolie's dress while keeping their distance. (Original Photo: Chris Pizzello/Associated Press) The rover-ing reporter fetched us a news flash about Coco and Harriet who are making the rounds of awards ceremonies, the latest being the SAG Awards.
They were rooting for The Black Swan, the film in which they appeared, supporting Natalie Portman in the ballet scenes. (their scenes only made it to the director’s West Highland Terrier’s cut)
But when The King’s Speech took the Cast Ensemble award, Coco and Harriet managed to wriggle their cute little tails into the photograph of the cast. Asked how they managed it, Coco said, “We just tried to speak veddy, veddy properly, and look as much like Corgis as possible.”
“If they’d known we were French,” Harriet added, “oh mon Dieu!”
The two befurred actresses wore gowns by Oscar de la Runta. They attended the official after-party in the parking lot next to the Shrine auditorium where a tent was furnished with rich lavender carpets and draped with purple cloth, and where they had a howling good time. They were seen sniffing around Best Actor winner Colin Firth.
“He is one dreamy dawg,” Coco said.
“Hey, we may be domesticated,” Harriet said, “But we’re certainly not tame!”

OK, so the girls have been on hiatus, or just recovering from the holidays or just waking up from a nice long nap in front of the fire. It’s been very cold here in LA and we are so happy it’s warmed up in time for the Golden Globes because you know these little LA frenchies DON’T like to go out in the rain!
Coco and Harriet could NOT believe their bat ears! That Ricky Gervais! What? Who? Hilarious!
They sat with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for a while. Until Angelina tried to adopt Harriet.
Then they moved and sat with Johnny Depp. I think that’s Geoffrey Rush sitting behind them.
All in all, a good time was had by all!
