This
is Cocoa! The wonder dog is what I call her, since she
catches on to acting (tricks) really easily... such as changing the
tv channels (my hubby is not fond of this trick), and playing
basketball. Cocoa loves ice cream, car rides, swimming in any
type of water pool, hot tub, water dish, puddles of mud...
She also enjoys, chasing the birds and squirrels, she thinks she can
fly and climb trees. When we first met Cocoa she was eight weeks old and
weighed two pounds. I just had to have her, she was playing in her water
dish, while the other puppies were sleeping. Then she looked at
me like "Come on and play with me already!" which she still
does now. She dances on your head in the morning to let you know she
is up and ready to go...
The wreath around her head is called a Haku, which is traditionally
worn in Hawaii. When we got Cocoa, I was dead set on naming her
Mango (like the fruit) But as soon as my Husband saw her, he said she
look like a Coconut flake, so we call her Cocoa. Basketball was very
very hard to teach her. We have a child's basketball hoop and we
thought her how to fetch the ball, and then taught her how to drop
the ball in the hoop. This took a lot of patience and treats. Working
the remote control came naturally to her. She did this trick all by
herself. At times this can be bothersome!!! Especially when you are
watching a show, and she wants some attention.
Cocoa absolutely loves to bark, which to me is a good thing. I always
know when there is someone coming. But when there is a thunderstorm,
you can forget about getting any sleep. She will bark the whole
night, which I think is really odd since fireworks do not seen to
bother her!
