Meet Coco Chanel, fondly known as Coco. She’s a four-pound lap warmer who came home with us on the advice of our friend who is a dog trainer. Her eyes are not green and demonesque, but I couldn’t straighten that out. Tilly is mothering her, as we thought she would, and Maddie vacillates between amusement, jealousy, and depression. We did manage to seat our family of five on the chair and footstool in my office and have everyone get along, so I have high hopes for a harmonious future in our household.
I’m still giddy over Tuesday’s results. Not-Blogless-for-long Spring and I went to NYC on Wednesday, and there were lots of happy folks with Obama pins on their jackets. Nicholas Kristof captured what may be my main reason for joy in his op-ed piece in today’s Times. It’s about time we moved away from sound bites towards real, robust, meaningful statements.
Coco is snoozing away as I write. Pretty soon I have to get up to do my pushups, but I’ll find another way to amuse myself for a few moments longer. Maybe looking for couture dog sweater patterns will do the trick!
Awwwwwwwwww…
What a pretty new baby.
What an adorable puppy! I’ve been trying to talk Bob into a puppy, but he’s not certain that we’re ready to be dog people… And we’re not sure that Smokey Joe is ready to accommodate a dog in his feline world. Maybe when we move away from Texas. I think Coco’s eyes look like little bits of turquoise in this pic, which is kinda cool.
Hope your semester is going well! I’ve finally hit that point where it’s all (thankfully) downhill–yay!
Awwww, what a sweetie!
What a lovely little creature!
Eee! Adorable! Mutts are the best breed.

Awww…..almost makes me want another puppy too!!!! I love her!
A face to love! Lucky you and lucky Coco!
Coco looks adorable. I’m sure she’ll be accepted by all the family members soon. How was week 1 of pushups?
I can’t wait to meet her!!
Oh, Coco is a doll! I have dog envy!

Oh, I love her! I can’t wait to see more pictures of her hanging out with the big(ger) girls. 🙂
I loved Obama’s “Mutt like me” statement. I’m a mutt, too!
Yay!!!! I knew it!!!! I was just going to send an email to ask about the puppy because I had a sneaky suspicion…
Congratulations on adding a new furry member to your family. She will bring you so much joy and happiness. I can’t wait to see more pics or maybe you can bring her to knitting in your tote. 😉
