You asked me to set up a blog that you could look at to see how my girl Coco is getting on. I'm confident that you will be the only person reading this, so I will address it to you and if anyone else reads, that is a bonus!
In 6 days, this beautiful girl will be arriving in the UK, from Spain. I've used one of your amazing photo, Kim. <3
You already know about her, but on the off chance that someone has stumbled across this blog and has begun to read it in the event of boredom/half-interest, I will introduce Coco properly.
Coco is a 2 year old cross breed, rescued by SOS Animals at just 6 months old from the streets of Malaga. She had bad mange and tested positive for a condition called Leishmaniasis.
I can't wait to have this awesome girl in my life. It has been 8 months since we first met, at the shelter in Spain where I was volunteering, where I was lucky enough to meet many great friends, including you, Kim.
Coco's bed is ready and waiting for her, piled with toys, next to her new bowl, new leads and collars, and a jumper just in case the English weather isn't warm enough for the little chica. She has soooo many treats, or 'Candy' as you call it! I've got her lots of vitamins too, to help with her Leishmaniasis.
I've toyed with the idea of changing Coco's name. I liked Elsie, or Cleo. But she is Coco - she always will be, it's part of her and part of SOS.
6 days.
I love that all of 'our lot' - the volunteers who were in Spain when I was there, have adopted so many dogs between us! You have Hera, Ami and Dan have Brucie, KJ has Zanetti and I have my girl Coco! We should have a big SOS reunion - though I have no idea how we would organise that between England and Sweden!!!
If you were wondering about the background on this blog, it is Disney Pluto, do you remember the Pluto toy that Coco had in Spain? She loved it so much, even carried it on her walks, but then Denzel ate it. :( Coco's Auntie Lois bought her a brand new cuddly Pluto for when she arrives though, she will be so excited I'm sure!
Not long now, Kim, until this smile greets me every day. I can't wait.
OMG ANNIE, first i have to apologize for what to come (GAAH my superbad english... Whatever, i wish you could Swedish...)
ReplyDeleteIm so happy for you and Coco, also this BLOG omg. this is my new favoriteblog. You have to upload tons of pictures. Its so fun to follow SOS dogs.
didn't know she had L tho, poor baby. Is it expensive to treat over there?
haha I forgot that plutothing... it looks horrible. And CoCo is a wonderful name :)
Miss you a lot.
Kim your English is amazing - I wish I could speak Swedish though!
ReplyDeleteHaha your blog is better! I will put lots of photos on when she arrives, so you can see her and read all about what we get up to :D
Yeah, she is a leish baby. :( It's not at all expensive to treat here, about 130euros every year for a blood test, and around 10euros for a months supply of tablets.
Haha I was so sad that Denzel had chewed the Pluto toy, she loved it so much. Lois got her a new one though! :)
Miss you millions <3 <3 <3 xxx
