Coco


This post is for Dave and Heather...

As you know, Coco was installed as a member of our family in January.  At first Mickey was giving us looks as if to say, "who the heck is this black mexican coo-coo and why exactly is she staying with us?"   Coco seemed displaced and not sure if she could put all her love into us.  

It has almost been 3 months and things have definitely changed for the better.  Mickey absolutely loves Coco and I absolutely believe that sometimes he thinks that she is his own personal toy to tool around with.  Coco loves and depends on Mickey.  She actually cries for him if he is outside and she is not.  

We have learned much about Coco in these past several months.   She is a very affectionate dog and loves to cuddle and be snuggled and kissed.  She curls up next to me at night and sometimes will kiss me in the middle of the night.  She still isn't super found of new people coming into the house and take s her time warming up to them.  But, she definitely comes around and then there is no stopping the attention that she gives to them.  

I have to selfishly say that she is by far my dog.  Jay and Ben love her but it is me that she looks for and comes to.  

Coco fits in perfectly in our family!  Dave and Heather, thank you for allowing us the pleasure of sharing our lives with this perfectly wonderful and very sweet canine companion.  We can not imagine our humble abode without her!

That's a touching account of two dogs and a family getting to know each other. It's nice to know Coco is happy. I think about her from time to time.

As long as you didn't strangle her first :)
