Congrats Molly ... More Coco

Being new parents is hard ... we're so behind on blog news, and pretty much everything! Last weekend, my cousin Molly graduated from TWU in Denton and we are so proud of her! We missed the ceremony because of a maddening series of events on Saturday morning resulting in Carrie having a respiratory infection and me sitting in the Honda dealership for four hours. But that evening we made it to a celebratory dinner with Molly, her family, friend, and our wonderful Grandma!

The rest of our time has been spent raising our new pug puppy Coco. She's pretty much sleeping all night, and hits her pee pad 75 percent of the time. Who could ask for anything more? Maybe a break from her targeting my shoelaces. I got some of that bitter apple spray, but considering that her two favorite things to put in her mouth are bugs and poo, it's not that much of a deterrent. It's hard to ever get mad at her, though. Just look at that face!!!

Meet Coco the Pug!

Chris and I are officially the new proud parents of our new baby pug, Coco! Her full name is Coco Chanel because we know she is going to be a total princess, but when she is being a little stinker, we will call her Coco Butter! Ha! 

Last night we drove to Mt. Pleasant, about two hours from Dallas, and met up with the breeders. They were so nice, but we could tell they were sad to see Coco go. Who wouldn't be?  She was the smallest in the litter and was 8 weeks old on Monday. We also found out that her birthday is three days after Chris'! So, in March we will have a lot to celebrate!  

She was so good on the way home. Here we are stopped so we could take a break from the car trip.

When we finally got home we took lots of pictures and played a little.

She loves her Meerkat stuffed animal we got her! I love how her eyes bug out!

Today we went to visit the Vet, just to make sure we were all OK. We did have to get lots of shots and they cleaned out our ears, and sadly they told us she has hookworms! Not to worry, we got some medicine to take care of it! She also weighed in at a very hefty 3 pounds! Such a big girl!

Here she is waiting for the doctor.

Home sweet home, feeling all better, and worn out in her crate! So until next time, Coco says, "Goodnight everyone!"
