Our Own Coco Chanel!

We have the pleasure of dog sitting again this week, our Grand Dog, Coco. Our son in law lost his Uncle, who lived in Milwaukee and they went there for the funeral. Since we are the “dog sitters”, (by choice) I happily met Bob half way in Hinckley to get our Grand Dog. Of course, we have been enjoying her ever since Wednesday night! Next weekend we will take her home, as we were planning to go down to celebrate our Granddaughter’s 8th birthday. We have so much fun with her.

Last night I watched the new movie on Lifetime about the French fashion designer Coco Chanel that brought us Chanel suits, and Chanel No. 5 perfume and more comfortable fashions for women.

Our daughter named Coco after Coco Chanel (Dawn, being a very fashion minded person). So, when I was watching the movie, I kept telling Coco that I was watching a movie about her namesake!

I looked on Google images tonight for photos of her, as I wanted to see what she looked like, (Shirley McLaine played her). When I put “Coco Chanel” in the search bar, I could not believe all the photos of Maltese and Yorkie breeds of dogs that I saw that were named Coco Chanel! There were even two that looked exactly like our Coco!

I thought that was pretty interesting, especially since Dawn thought she had come up with a real original name for her! Funny, funny!!!
