In the beginning, Cocoa did not know who was coming or how they would get here. She just knew lots of people were about to descend on her house. And whatever happened next was going to be really big! So big that she’s already gotten the lecture: “If you can’t behave, you’ll have to wear your gentle leader.”
Pretty soon Grand Daddy arrived for Thanksgiving dinner.
Grand Bettie (Grandmother) and her sister and husband (Uncle Dixon and Aunt Eloise) enjoyed talking in the living room. Lots of other people came but no one wanted to have their photos made. The “old” folks couldn’t run too fast so they were easy targets for the camera.
Pat and Jay and best friends Bertrhude and Ashley were not camera shy.
Matt and Megan hung out in the living room and talked after lunch.
And after all was said and done, Cocoa was pooped and ready for a long nap. She had a good day. And she only sent everyone into a frenzy one time—when she got caught eating a corner of the Thanksgiving ham, which had been left waaaaay too close to the edge of the kitchen counter. Seems like life always has some rough moments for a puppy dog.
oh…my…goodness what a look of anticipation for the family that is coming to my house, my grands, aunts & uncles and cousins oh my!
Congratulation on a Delta Society Dog Miss Cocoa! What an honor you have.
Everyone in the family looks great and seem to have enjoyed themselves.
The last picture of Cocoa is what I feel when a truck load of family comes to visit. Excited that they are here but extremely happy when they live. It is exhausting…
D-
What about the Thanksgiving Ham? I could have tied her up when she grabbed it. I heard all this noise and then everyone started yelling — C-O-C-O-A! One moment she was a silent angel hanging out under the table and the next . . . she was stealing food! CS
Well…she was just pointing out to you that ham was her favorite food. She just went about it the wrong way. I know that she felt bad about what she done and she is really, really, really sorry. :o(
