Notes from Coco's new family:

3 June 2011

Hi Thelma & Gwenda,

Just thought I'd send you a pic of Coco with her ribbon and certificate after passing beginners obedience. She's done so well and is really beginning to listen and respond very well. She also does tricks like shake paw and spin. Very cute! Big sister Bella passed her class as well (with flying colours as she has done it before.)

We start bronze level training in a few weeks!

Dani, Craig, Bella and Coco

Hi Thelma,

Just a quick note to let you know this is my new email address.

Also, we realized that we haven't yet "sealed the deal" with Coco!

Craig, myself and Bella love having her cheeky self around and she really has become part of our family. We must keep her - seriously, Bella would not forgive us if we didn't! :)

The girls play every day. Wrestling, running and tug of war with a certain sock that is now looking a little worse for wear! We go out daily - walking, to the dog park or to the oval for runs and Coco is learning the rules and routines so well. She is already sitting during walks when we cross roads and only needs a quick "sit" command now!

We have booked both girls in for obedience starting early April and are really looking forward to learning with Coco and we are positive she is going to be the star of her class along with her big sister! I just love watching her learn and become more confident with things like visits to the dog park and traveling in the car.

We have had such awesome laughs. Coco is a real snuggler and really snuggles in with Bella, nuzzling her and using her as a pillow!!

As you can see, we are completely smitten and are so happy we have found Coco. She is the perfect addition to our little family. I'll send a few more of my fave recent happy snaps as I know you will love to see how well we are all getting along.

Thanks again, very much!!!

Craig, Dani, Bella and Coco.

Thelma, I thought you would love this photo as much as I do.

Thanks so much Gwenda! We picked up Coco yesterday and she is fitting in so well so far. We've had lots of cuddles and fun times walking and out and about.

We were so touched with Thelma and Kathleen's little goodie bags they put together for us all, very nice touch indeed. Coco and Bella have already had a lot of fun playing with all the toys (and eating some treats of course!)

Thanks again, we feel very lucky!!

Just wanted to say thanks again and to let you know Coco has settled in brilliantly!

We've been for a coffee at a cafe, walking around Yerribi Pond and for a big play in the backyard. Coco is now asleep in my lap. She and Bella are getting along so well. Coco has picked up a few things to chew but is fantastic when I tell her no. She also comes when called. Bella has had a few barks and Coco hasn't even left the couch!!

I'll keep in touch :)
