Coca

Coca is starting to calm down, and her personality is becoming clear. She likes to be part of the action if we're doing something exciting or if cheese is involved. She loves to be outside, even if we're not with her. She's content to be hooked up to the long leash and be outside alone. She sniffs the flowers and watches people walk by. It's very different than a Golden Retriever-- all of our dogs needed to be next to the humans at all times.


Coca sleeps at night downstairs on the couch. She knows that she is allowed to come into our bed in the mornings, though. When she wakes up, Coca will come up to snuggle with us. If it's a weekend, then she'll stay in bed after we go downstairs to make breakfast. This picture is not posed. Before I got the camera her head was on my pillow. (How do you like that, Mom? I wasn't even allowed to lay on my mom's pillow, none the less a dog...)


It's funny how Coca sits on steps. She'll put her bottom and back legs on one step, but she'll put her front paws on a lower step. Maybe she's imitating us?
