Coco is our three-year-old Border Collie, she lives with her human parents in WV. She has been a only pet since losing two siblings in 2017 her 10 year old sheltie brother Robbie and her 17 year old sister Cattle dog Zoe. Then she lost her cat sister Belle in 2018 Coco is a pure joy and also is a handful She keeps us old folks busy. She loves all her toys and her yard, if it isnt raining and muddy she will be in the yard. She wants to wish everyone a very merry Christmas
We got her because our mixed cattle dog rescue Zoe was 16 1/2 years old and we wanted our ten-year-old Sheltie to have a playmate, and not be so sad when she died. Sadly he died unexpectedly, about three months after we got her. Then Zoe lived to the ripe old age of 17 ( she died seven months after Robbie due to a stroke).Coco is super smart, she runs the family and gets what she wants. She knows several words, car, treat, park, Daddy etcetera, so we do a lot of spelling.
She is very active and I guess because she is an only pet she demands for us to play ball with her. She will come to the door and bark and heard one of us out Coco was digging holes when she was 1 year old, and we had to keep filling them. She was bored so we made hurdles and hoops in the yard and she loved It! She stopped her digging. She is so different from our other four dogs We had a half border collie mix from rescue (our first dog) and she is a little like her, but more intense and demanding. Coco has her own mind and if you try and change it no way! If she wants or brings you her red football and you throw her frisbee, she will not catch it and wait for her ball. We love her deeply and she keeps the whole family on our toes. She has been a huge comfort, because we have lost not only our dear Zoe and Robbie but also many family members since 2017. Even through she is full of energy she is so loving and affectionate and super obedient, being in our late 60s it would be impossible if she wasn't such a well-behaved girl.
