I thought of a few more things today that I remember about Cocoa. He was really afraid of water. He didn't like it. His breed is supposed to like it so we always thought it was funny that he didn't. He hated the hose and would plant himself firmly on the floor if we tried to lift him into a bath tub to take a bath. Another really cute thing about him is his 'gallop'. When we brought him home as a puppy I remember him in the back yard running around and he would occasionally gallop...kind of like a horse rearing up on it's hind legs but he'd run at the same time lol. He did it all the way up to his old age...as recent as a month or less ago he still tried to gallop as best he could. He would do it when he was excited and wanted to play. Whatta sweetheart.
I found a few pics I wanted to add here...one is of him and his sisters that I spoke of in the first blog. Can you pick him out? LOL...it's not too hard. Aww, he's soooo cute and chubby. I can't express enough just how incredibly sweet he is/was... The other picture is of Cocoa and Jared at his Puppy Obedience School graduation at Petsmart. You can't really see it that well but he's wearing a little red graduation cap! Isn't he adorable? I went through my photo albums and found all the pics I could find of him and am going to put up a second album on Facebook so I'll have them all on the computer. Many of these will be of him as a younger dog. It's interesting and kind of bittersweet to see how his body has changed over time. Such a good bubby.
