Cocoa

This is a picture of my dog, Cocoa.  We got her after our last dog, Jesse died.  Why I decided to name my new yellow puppy Cocoa I will never know.  Cocoa is an extremely energetic, extremely loveable dog.  There are times that she does some strange things, but it is probably why she fits in so well with our family.  Instead of barking at the neighborhood stray cats, Cocoa enjoys making friends with them, often allowing them to get as close to her pen as they please.  She is extremely nosy and would sniff every blade of grass in the entire yard if she was given the opportunity.  A few years ago I was doing some work in the house when I heard some strange sounds coming from her pen.  I dropped what I was doing and looked down to find her jumping back and forth over the top of her dog house.  The next thing you know this became a daily habit of hers.  When she goes to the vet she gets completely excited and can barely hold herself down.  One time the vet tried to hold her down while checking her teeth when Cocoa tried to crawl up to her chest when one of her paws went into one of the pockets on her scrubs and ripped it completely off.  I have never seen an animal so energetic.
