Coco - ADOPTED

  Coco definitely has been in a home. He is very comfortable jumping on soft cushy furniture to take naps and snuggle up.  His incision is healing nicely and recovering, eating and drinking normal. He's a grazer, that's fine, we just  have to make sure the boys don't get in each other's face as if they have to establish some invisible lines until they become friends.  He's getting used to us clicking on the leash, whereas he walked away when we would try to walk toward him. Now he wont walk UP to us, but he'll sit and laydown so we don't have to catch him. PROGRESS!! He walks really well on a leash, when he gets curious he CAN pull, he's a BIG boy. He is very human oriented because when I take him out he sometimes just wants to jump on me and wants hugs and me to pet him. I remind him he needs to go potty. Although I much oblige, how can you resist face!! He is still in the marking phase since we have another boy dog in our home. So we have a boy diaper ...

My understanding on Coco before I met him. 50 pound brown aussie mix who is very shy and needs to be picked up everywhere he goes and forfeited because his owner passed away.  And....go.  Fastforward, he was neutered couple days ago and I got to pick him up after surgery. Expected him to be a bit groggy, picked him up into the car ... DEF more than 50 pounds of the SOFTEST fluff!  He was whiny, expected. But he kept nudging my elbow and then wanted to sit up front. Then realized he was WAY too big, then laid in the back seat where he remained and would switch back and forth but ultimately lay down til we got home.  Jumped out of the car fine, entered the home fine.  The interesting part was once inside...he wanted attention, you could tell. He had NO idea what to do with my daughter other than she had way too much energy so he wanted to avoid her. Not sure about the other 12 pound dog either. So he would walk toward where I would go....but not quite close enough...
