Moving day has come and the house is officially ours! We got the keys last night
Coco is learning her schedule fast. She wakes us up every morning at 7 (even though we've had the last few days off) to go pee and eat breakfast. Then it's playtime for an hour then nap time until about 10. At 4:30 it's her dinner time and poop time. At 6:30 it's her last chance for food before bedtime. She usually poops out and falls asleep at 9 then wakes us up at about 2 in the morning to pee and poop. She's really learning that outside is her poop and pee place, I don't think we had an accident yesterday! Hooray!
George keeps calling her Coco Crispy. I like that better than Frauline Coco.
Yesterday we were on our way to Home Depot to buy paint and supplies when George stopped at a park. We took her for the longest walk in the tallest grass (the grass was as tall as her) of her life.. it was hilarious watching her leap at each step. By the end of the long stretch of grass she was exhausted. Two little girls (prolly 11 and 8) came up and asked to pet her, then the 8 year old asked to pick her up. I said ok, I didn't think anything of it. The girl picked her up, held her like a little baby, Coco squirmed, the girl dropped her, Coco came up not walking on her left leg. George and I FREAKED out.
We took her to the vet instead of going to Home Depot immediately. George was infuriated - I don't think I've ever seen him that mad. He said he wanted to scream at that kid ("You fucking bitch! What the fuck are you doing?!") that dropped her and ask where her mother was. I wanted to strangle her. Instead we said nothing at all to her, just rushed her to the car. By the time the doc came to see Coco, she made a rapid recovery and started putting pressure on her leg. She didn't whine or cry or anything the whole time, but we had to make sure our brand new baby was ok. The doc said she looks fine, no broken bones otherwise she wouldn't put pressure on it at all, she would be crying, she wouldn't have let the doc feel around like she did, etc. She still has a limp but it doesn't seem to really bother her.
So today I'm meeting my brother Drew at my parents house to pick up my bedroom set (mohagany sleigh bed with matching dresser!) and boxes of stuff I left there from when I moved out. Then I get my new fridge, stove and table, then I get to test paint, then I get to go buy the actual paint because I only got 1 ounce cans.
What a fun, fun day.
