Happy 3rd Birthday Miss Coco Floof!

It is Little Miss Coco’s Third Birthday today!  Where has three years gone to?  She will be having her presents tonight when DH gets home from work.  She has some new toys and a packet of treats from Mungo & Maud and some of their wipes which I used to have for Treacle, they are great for eyes, ears and pads.  As I showed you last week she was so tiny when she first came home with us at eight weeks old and now she is such a big, grown up doggy.

She was so tiny she could not get up the step into the kitchen.

She loved taking all her toys into her bed with her and she is still like this now!

When she was tiny we stopped her going up to the main garden as there were too many places for us to lose her, but it did not stop her looking and trying to find a way to get up to the garden!!!!

Growing up!

In fact we have been leaving her out of her crate whilst we are out for a little while to see how she gets on and so far she has been very good.  In fact I think she just goes up to our room, gets on the bed and goes to sleep!  We are still keeping the crate up so that if we have any workman in or I am answering the door it is handy for her to go in there and she actually goes in there on her own during the day when she is fed up with her basket next to my desk!

When Treacle passed we, as a family, had a big dicussion about having a puppy.  I know that we are encouraged to adopt dogs but I so wanted another Airedale.  They are very much, in my family, a family dog as my Grandfather used to breed them so my Mom grew up with Airedales.  It was her that had the first one I knew after my Dad passed.  We did discuss the looking after of a new puppy as it is mostly on me as I am at home all day and the Boys would look after her if we were away and also if anything happened.  DH was a little concerned but because I am at home all day and quite often for long hours I really, really missed Treacle, so we decided to get a new puppy and Coco arrived.  I am so glad we had her and she really is a wonderful dog, very loving as they all have been and extremely gentle with the children but can be very puppy like even though she is three!!!

Anyway Miss Coco Happy Birthday, have a wonderful day.  We all love you very much.
