My newest addition to the family. Meet Coco.


My husband and parents decided that it was time for me to have another dog. I lost my little girl, Gizzie, after 16-1/2 years last July. They say that that is a very long life for a dog, and I was with her when she passed away.
My new little girl is now 12 weeks old, born 7/7/09. Her name is Coco Bonita she is a Yorkshire terrier (same as Gizzie), and she is a tyrant. She is already spoiled, knows how to manipulate us, and refuses to be housebroken. She knows about the doggie door, and uses it frequently, but not to go to the bathroom. She is currently 1.5 pounds, and the woman we bought her from says that her parents are 2-3 pounds max. So she should be no bigger than 3 pounds when she's full grown. I will believe it when I see it, because she eats like a horse. Of course, she burns off everything she eats because she is running full out from nap time to nap time.
