Coco Aldridge
born on August 15, 2009
adopted on October 3, 2009
1 lb. 12 oz.
Yes, we are now the proud parents of a dog. Coco is a Yorkihuahua (Half Yorkshire Terrier/Half Long-haired Chihuahua). She is very sweet and cuddly. She loves her brother and sisters. So far, she is adjusting to her new home pretty quickly. Her first night, she only woke up twice. The next night, however, she woke up every hour on the hour and screamed like a howler monkey. (Seriously, I'm going to have to get her on video so you can hear for yourself. I've had 2 people ask me if I have a bird when they've heard her). I've spent the better part of the last few nights sleeping on the floor next to her crate to keep her from waking up the whole family. Michael is just happy I haven't brought her into the bed to sleep with us!
She's doing OK with the potty training. She's only had a handful of accidents on the carpet which were promptly cleaned up. She's very playful and loves to nibble feet and pants legs, which we are trying to put an early stop to.
Violet likes Coco from afar. She likes to "wooh wooh" (bark) at Coco and give her kisses when she is sleeping. Coco loves to jump on Violet and chase her. Violet tells her, "No, no, no. Bye bye!" when she does.
So if you know me well, you know this is a huge deal. I am so NOT a dog person. But I am a this dog person. She is very sweet and we are really enjoying her, even though she is a lot of work. And yes, I have already turned into one of THOSE dog people. She has been going almost everywhere with us and she already has a couple of outfits. Still trying to decide what she's going to be for Halloween. :)
Stay tuned...
