Somethin's up...and i need your help!

Mommy got up at an ungodly hour this morning (5:00am) and took Truffle for a ride in the car...

So, now i gotta ask...were in the heck did Mommy take my sister Truffle that early in the morning and WHY the heck didn't she take me and Godiva? We always go for rides in the car together!

Can you help me solve this mystery? i would really appreciate all of your ideas (just like the time you all helped me solve the mystery of my missing piggy)

A great book i had to share with you...

Hi friends,

Only once in the year and a half that Coco Bean has had a blog have I ever taken over; But I was given the opportunity to read a new book that just came out called “DOGTOWN: Tales of Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Redemption” and I really wanted to share it with all of you.

Dogtown is a no kill shelter in Utah for Misfit and traumatized dogs, puppies rescued from puppy mills and war-zone trauma cases. The workers here truly believe in second chances for animals who never really got a fair first chance at life. This book tells the story of 15 dogs whom were abandon, abused, &/or badly injured and how the dedicated staff at Dogtown was only able to rehabilitate them but re-home them too. Each story shows the powerful bond that the trainer/owner has with the dog whom they work(ed) with as they each tell their story from their point of view.

The first chapter is about “Georgia”, a beautiful Staffordshire Terrier (Pitt Bull) whom was rescued from Michael Vis’s home. We all know who Vic is and how horrible it was that he did what he did, but Georgia’s story is amazing and heartwarming.

The stories about dogs that required special training because they showed signs of aggression, gave examples of training techniques that were simple enough for anyone to be able to practice at home with their dog(s). Not only does the book explain how to work with these techniques, but it also explains why it works and what it is teaching your dog(s).

Each story is inspirational, heartwarming and touching in its own way and no two stories are alike. I am not an avid reader, but I was able to finish this book within one week of receiving it. By the end of the first story you are able to believe that there is no such thing as a “bad dog” only dogs that need a little extra love and devotion. These unbelievable stories will not only put a smile on your face but will stay with you long after you finish reading this book.

This book is available wherever books are sold and would make a wonderful gift book this upcoming holiday season. It is even small enough to be a stocking stuffer! A portion of the proceeds will go to Best Friends Animal Society

Princess Coco, Lady Godiva & Truffle are going to give their Grandma one from the holidays!

Thank you for letting me share a wonderful book with you.

Mommy's Little Angels

Mommy was having a rough day yesterday. She said that nothing was going right yesterday evening and she broke down and cried. I don't know why because me and my little sisters were being good girls, but for some reason, my mommy was really sad.

Me Truffle, & Godiva didn't like seeing our mommy like this so we wriggled into her lap and smothered her with puppy kisses. I gave Truffle the task of licking mommy's face while Godiva licked mommy's feet and i kept pushing my stuffie into mommy's hand(s). Within seconds mommy hugged Truffle tightly while truffle frantically licked mommy's salty face and Godiva tickled mommy's toes. Mommy quickly stopped being sad and told us that we are her "Little Angels"

Godiva and Truffle jumped onto the to take a nap. Godiva went through her usual ritual of holding down Truffle's head and sucking/licking/chewing on her ears. Yea, you read right...Godiva sucks/licks/chews on Truffles ears and that is how they fall asleep (every single night). Here are the photos to prove it:
This was no big deal because they cuddle with each other all the time, but then i did something that mommy NEVER expected would happen...I cuddled with them! Normally i ONLY cuddle with humans and i refuse to share a bed with my little sisters, but for some reason...last night, i just felt like cuddling with my sisters. I guess that after i saw how hard they tried to make my mommy happy, i decided that they aren't so bad after all...anyway, here are the pictures to prove that i cuddled with the little rascals (we were actually touching).So my friends, don't forget to hug your human. Even when they are perfectly happy, It's our kisses and tail wiggles that keep them smiling. We are all our humans angels!

Family Fun...

Today i got5 to go with my mommy to Grandma & Grandpa's house to meet my cousin Abbie for the first time! I had heard so much about her and seen so many pictures of her that i was REALLY excited.

I got to go for a fun ride in the car: Grandpa is one of my favorite people in the world so for the first 5 minutes i followed him around because i love giving him kisses on his mustache! Here is a picture of me chasing Grandpa (he had food in his hands) and my cousin Abbie following right behind me: Abbie wasted no time showing me what it is like living with my grandparents...This is a picture of Abbie showing me that she likes to attack Grandpa's slippers (even while he is wearing them) just like i always attack my mommy's left slipper (but i don't do it while she is wearing them):
I have a reputation for being a very good girl and have even been called civilized many times; I am very careful to uphold this reputation by making sure that i am always very careful not to overstep my boundaries when meeting other dogs. I am never aggressive and always wait for the other dog to to take the initiative when they are comfortable with playing...Abbie however, waisted NO time at all! It was about 8 minutes after i walked in the door that she gave me the paw and started chewing on my ears and biting my butt!

Here is a photo of Abbie giving me the paw which was her way of saying "Hey cousin Coco! Lets play!": From that point on, it was non stop bitey-face! Here are some photos of our bitey-face: Let me tell you...those teethes are SHARP! But we were non stop bitey-face for a couple of hours straight and i was pooped-out! Grandma said that i could take a nap in Abbie's bed, but the little rascal wouldn't let me rest. Here is a picture of her pouncing on me when i was trying to rest:
Grandma said that "Abbie sure found her voice" and if Grandma was referring to Abbie's barking than OMD she sure has a set of lungs on her! here is a video of me and Abbie playing and her "finding her voice"





Here is another video of me and Abbie playing bitey-face (please excuse my mommy and Grandma talking in the background. Grandma was worried that Abbie was being too rough with me):

After all that we had dinner and i showed Abbie how to be a good girl and to sit in her bed while the humans ate at the dining table and enjoyed this beautiful Apple cake that my Grandma made.

Here we are sitting in the bed like good girls: Well, I was good...Abbie chewed on my tail... this is the Apple Pie that Grandma made: After all that excitement Abbie was just as tired as i was and she crashed out on the sofa next to my Grandpa. I was pretty tired too so mommy and i went home so that i could share all these pictures with all of you and to tell my sisters about Abbie and how much fun we had!

Thanks for letting me share my Day of Family Fun with you! I hope you had as much fun reading about it and seeing the photos as i had today!
