~8 things about little Coco~

Uno ~ Coco's full, registered name is Coco Chanel. I always knew I'd name my Maltepoo Coco Chanel!

Dos ~ Coco has many nicknames. Some do not even resemble his name of Coco. A few are...
Coco Puff, Co-Chinnna, Pogo Puff, Nay Nay - My favorite nickname! (don't ask me HOW I came up with that one! It was the funniest thing, all of a sudden I realized I was calling him that. It sounds so adorable and...he actually answers to it!)

Tres ~ Coco loves loves loves to go for walks many times a day!

Quatro ~ Coco can dance on his two hind legs.

Cinco ~ Coco loves to play FETCH. Some dogs simply are not "fetch" dogs, but Coco is.

Seis ~ Coco has some of the BEST blogging buddies around, one lucky dog!

Seiete ~ Coco loves to eat his new treats from Trader Joes. They are called Jerky bites for small breeds. He loves them!

Ocho ~ Coco now knows how to lay down on the command of ~Down~ I'd like to think he did it to please me...But I know it was b/c I had a treat each time I was teaching him... :)

Coco got groomed today!

Coco got groomed today! The groomer fluffed him and brushed out his coat, and also clipped it a little so it is shorter for Summer! We opted for a trim instead of a full on shave. He looks like a stud! I wish you could feel his coat...it is so soft.
Look at how dark his tail is...Hard to imagine that his ENTIRE coat was that dark Apricot when he was a puppy! Now he is all cream like a little snow Ball. :)

We will miss you Tiny.......

Our friends at RagusPug lost their 2nd puggies, Sweet Tiny Sunday night....
Tiny, after your sister ChiChi passed away, we did not expect to loose you so soon after! Our hearts ache for your mommy and daddy And family right now. You were such a sweet little pug and such a daddy's girl I have heard. We miss you a lot already and I will miss seeing your beautiful face....I know you and Chi Chi are having fun together across the bridge....but, we will miss you so much sweet girl.
http://www.raguspug.blogspot.com/ Please tell Tiny and ChiChi's mom that you are thinking about her during this very hard time! It is hard enough to lose one baby, but they lost two within a matter of a week! Hugs sent your way Sandy....

Darling Tiny.......forever in our Hearts..
Some of my favorite pictures of you Tiny:

Fetch!

Get the bone, Coco! He plays a good game of fetch, I tell ya! He gets really "into" the game.

Sandy you are not alone

To our Dear Sandy, you are not alone and we are thinking of you often and missing sweet Chi Chi right along with you. I really like this picture of her. It shows her beautiful, adoring little face. Hang in there Sandy!

Chi Chi

We are so saddened to hear that sweet Chi Chi crossed the Rainbow Bridge......
Please let her mom know you are thinking about her in this sad time... Here Chi Chi we will miss your precious face. I am glad that I got to Meet you through your mommy's blog. I know that she loved and will always love you. You will always be her little girl, her daughter, her first born. I know you're looking down watching over your family right now...hopefully your mommy can feel the love you are sending down to her when she is sad. Im sending a KISS up to you Chi Chi. Run free sweet girl. We love you.

in tears,

My KONG Boy

Coco LOVES his Kongs!!! Notice how long his coat is getting. I brushed it out yesterday...But it is almost time for a hair cut again! I just love his coat this long though.

This is Coco getting ready to watch "The Age of Love" with me tonight.... Is anyone else enjoying that show? Very interesting... Kind of a twist on The Bachelor....

LISA

I know I am not the only one that is *totally* excited to see what Lisa's secret is!

A new puppy... a little BOY this time... That is what I am thinking but I can-NOT wait any longer....

All in agreement, comment now. :)

LOL

Seriously Lisa... I am soooo excited to see! I can't wait! This is huge!

Out-takes

The out-takes are almost as cute as the "good" photos. ;-)
I thought I'd share the out-takes from yesterday's photo shoot!

Coco just wasn't in the mood to smile in this one... (but it's still very cute!)

Ok, this is MY fault.... I had the camera on focus. (not flash)
Lesson learned - don't use "FOCUS" on a MOVING object... AKA: your dog. They, unlike things like flowers, tend to MOVE. ;-) Happy summer everyone! It was a good 90-95* today... On my walk with Coco, I was sweating the entire time. Coco and I both needed cold water after that!
