What Happened?

I never thought this would happen. I actually did not even think about it happening while it was happening. The Queen and I have been sickened by people who act the way we are now acting. We love our puppy!

I don't know what is different about this dog as compared to the last dog we had. The only thing that I can think of is that this new dog is a puppy. We found out yesterday that she was born on January 11th, 2010. This makes her ten weeks old.

Cheeseball has really bonded with Cocoa Bean already and it has just been a little more than two days since we got her. This is interesting since she was really afraid of most dogs before this. She did not even want a dog for a pet. We really had to convince her that it would be great to get a puppy and let them grow up together. We think that this is the best way to get her over her fear.

She has been reading outside with Cocoa on her lap the last two days. We have also taken Cocoa on a walk to the mailbox the last two days. On Monday she refused to walk and one of the girls had to carry her. Yesterday she ran almost the whole way there and back. It is really funny to watch her run. Because she is so small she almost jumps when she runs, especially through the grass.

I scheduled a veterinary appointment for Cocoa yesterday. We are also going to start having the girls take her for training starting on Saturday. We are doing everything the right way when it comes to this puppy.

We have friends who treat their dogs like they are children. We have always thought that was silly. I just never thought that the entire family would feel this way about a puppy. Cocoa Bean has definitely won us over.
