Coco
Speaking of puppies and dogs...(see my post below)
Our daughter and her family just got an addition to their family, their Christmas present. They got a cute little puppy, who won't get much bigger when she's full grown than she is now at 12 weeks. She is a mix between a Yorkie and a Maltese.
She is 2 lb, 12 oz. and is not to get bigger than 4 lb. The children have been asking for a dog for years, and she has always resisted. She is allergic to dog and cat hair, is the main reason, but she really has never had a desire for a dog, until the last year or so, she said she has been thinking that it would be nice to get a small, house dog. So, they did their homework, and researched the breeds. She said this breed does not have "dander", so she will not have the problem of being allergic. She is very cute, looks like a little ball of fluff, and they all just love her to pieces already! We can't wait for December 23, so that we can see her. They named her Coco Chanel and call her Coco. Dawn says she is very mellow, and hardly ever barks.

My parents inherited a dog that just showed up at the farm one time, that reminds me of Coca. When you live in the country, those things happen. City people that don't want their pets anymore, often drop them off on a country road.
She had lots of long white hair, and we weren't sure what breed, but sure she was a mixture. She wasn't as small as Coco will be, but she was darn cute. My Mother named her Fluffy, and she became my Mother's dog and companion in her later years of life. After Fluffy died, they got another little dog, breed also unknown, but not long haired. They named her Tootie. Tootie was lost when Mom went into the nursing home. My brother Mark took over her care and now she is Mark's dog. Mark used to take her up to the nursing home to see Mom. My Mother was always a dog lover, so we always had at least one of not more dogs around when I was growing up.

I know Dawn and the family will enjoy their Coco as much as we always enjoyed the dogs at our home. I'll bet their Christmas cards will now be signed, Bob, Dawn, Skylar, Madelyn and Coca!
