Cocoa

It's a good thing Lizzy is finally getting over her pneumonia because we added a fun addition to our household for the summer! A very sweet dog named Cocoa.

From June 2011

Cocoa's owners are on home leave for the summer, and we offered to watch her until they get back in August. The offer was two fold--number 1, to help them out. The second reason is because Lizzy Ann LOVES dogs. And cats. And anything else with four legs. Her favorite thing to do is to play to the "Animal Sounds" app on Daddy's phone. All she has to do is touch the screen and the current animal will say its respective sound. It has arrows for her to switch between animals. It entertains her endlessly.

Well, the sad part is that while there are many dogs around us all the time, I am slightly leery of letting her play with just any dog in the park. Vaccines are less common around here, and a bite usually requires a rabbis shot and maybe a flight to Hong Kong...not something I want to inflict on my toddler. We will probably get her the rabbis vaccination in August just in case, as recommended by our doctor.

So I'm very excited to have a furry little one for her to chase around of whom we know the history! Cocoa is still warming up to Lizbeth, but Lizzy is all for Cocoa...and Cocoa's food...and water...and bed...luckily Cocoa is very patient.
