Adopted May 2009

5/8/09:   I just want to give you a quick update on Cocoa. First and foremost - we are quite smitten with her! She is a lovely, beautiful, sweet tempered dog and we feel so blessed to have her in our household. She has been a bit slow to warm up to us - but she is progressing well. The first few days, she mostly just watched us and didn't interact with us too much. We took our cue from her and gave her space and spoke to her often in soft, soothing tones and gave her lots of pats and praise. She started wagging her tail a couple of days ago and today had a big break through. She grabbed one of Norman's toys and dashed away with it - looking for her new daddy to chase her! She loved playing keep away from Roger and after a couple of minutes, Norman joined in the running, chasing and general mayhem! We are so delighted with our new little girl. Thank you so much for rescuing her. My heart hurts whenever I think of anyone shooting bbs at this softhearted little girl. But, she is happy now and well on her way to accepting us as her "forever" family. I'll send pictures as soon as I get some! Thank you again.
