Coco's Favorite Pastime

Coco likes to eat. When she isn't eating, she runs to the kitchen if she hears anything sounding like a plate getting scraped. She also will steal Elka's food.











Coco likes to sleep on people's laps and on the couch and in bed with people. She often lies on her back like this when in bed with people.

MY GIRLS

I took both dogs for a walk yesterday. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon. I walked them down to the river as once you're on the trail they are easier to manage.
Walking down the hill and past a couple streets, I get a lot of stares. I have to swallow my pride and try not to be self- conscious.
Elka is good for 6 + miles, while Coco is ready to be carried after a good 6 blocks.
I didn't really try to make Elka heel as that just seemed like a lot of work while trying to keep Cocoa from going under my feet.
So I am walking down the hill with Elka giving a steady pull out in front(not too far) and Coco meandering back and forth in front of me and then sprinting ahead of Elka.
It wasn't bad experience, because I did it again today.
By the end of the walk I had Elka's leash slipped over my waist and was carrying Coco.
They're my girls and I enjoy taking them out despite any character comparisons people might make between me and a certain eccentric dog lover in town.

Coco Traps Herself

I was in the kitchen making breakfast and Coco was in her pen. I thought she was rather quiet so I looked through the door and saw her. Her bed was on it's side and she was trying to get into the back of it. I called to my husband and he took this video.

Wow! This Ferminator Really Works

<- "Should we give it a name? Elka's hair has been a prolific problem since we got her. It is only because she is so obedient and sweet that we put up with it. Often we have joked about the extra pets we find daily under chairs, sofa, bed and in corners. She literally seem to be shedding nonstop, and don't scare her - the hair will spring off her body.







I just bought the Ferminator grooming tool. It was advertised at several different sites, and after reading all I could (stand) about it, purchased it from Amazon at the very good price of $24. It does seem to cut all the undercoat, or at least all that I get to during that time. We will see if it cuts down on the extra hair bunnies that seem to come out of no where.
