Surely you don't think you can get away with that brief of an introduction. Inquiring minds want to know all the details....has this been a long anticipated addition or a spur of the moment falling in love? Coco is a perfect name for a little chocolate bean. You said it right - what a doll baby. Now that we know about Coco, you will also have to keep us enthralled with puppy tales.....that is.....if you have the time. (snicker, snicker).

Coco was not long anticipated. We were going up to Tractor Supply where they allow outdoor flea market. There was this truck full of cutie puppies. Momma had 11 puppies (2 died). Girls were black and boys were brown.
First one I picked up was Coco and he fell asleep in my arms. We were hooked

Last 24 hrs has been fun. I just pulled out two tics (one each ear), clipped his nails which he loves. Trying to figure out his potty and poop schedule. He does like the hot water bottle wrapped in one of my shirts. Also, we play music on dish all night.
Needless to say, a few accidents and now I put the puppy pad right outside his cage. I'm off to take a much needed nap, it was a short night last night.

Skinny (our one cat) was a pistal at times last night. After 3 a.m. Coco demanded more attention LOL

Now just who is training whom? Don't get the little bean into a routine that you don't want to follow. A middle of the night potty run outside is reasonable, but no playing around. Back to bed and *go to sleep*. I think I would cut off the music too. I'm assuming that you have the cage in your bedroom.

His crate is in the living room.
I'm using potty pads because he barely makes it out of the crate and has to pee 99.99% of the time. Only time he fusses is because he has to potty. We dont "play" anymore in middle of the night that only happened the first 2 nights. Now he settles down within 5 minutes and goes back to sleep. Actually Coco likes the christian music station, we play it during the daytime if t.v. isnt on a particular program.

Unfortunately, at 3:30 a.m. to 4 a.m. hour during the school year, hubby is up doesnt leave the house until 5:10 a.m. This morning Coco didnt wake up until 4:30 a.m. and hubby had been up for about 1/2 hr.

Once Coco gets older he will stay down in the basement at night.
He will be able to hold his bladder longer too.
