“Coco”, our full grown mutt was cute.  Yesterday I handed out two big bones to our four dogs.  They usually play musical chairs with them.  “Coco” had one clutched to her chest sitting in the living room on the Lazy Boy chair.  She is a female and the least aggressive of our four.  Later on she moved to the other Lazy Boy chair in the office.  I just had to smile looking at her still clutching her bone right under her chest.  She is the most private of our four dogs.  She was going to make sure no one got that bone.  It was hers.

“Coco”, my adult female “pup” was cute.  “Coco” is a midsized long-haired black dog (about eighty pounds).  She was quietly and comfortably sitting on my wife’s Lazy Boy chair cradling her eight inch bone to her chest.  No one was going to take it away.  I just smiled looking at her.  She was all female sitting there so demurely.  When she wants her belly rubbed, she rolls slowly on her back–ever so slowly raises her one front paw to indicate that.  She is definitely sweet but can be quite demanding when she wants to go out into our fenced yard and we are not so quick to comply.  She definitely has the sweet and good natured personality of her Mom, a golden retriever, appropriately named “Sweetie”.
