We were very busy this weekend. We got to go in the car again, and Cocoa didn't get sick, so Mom was very happy. We went to this place that smelled funny, and there were several other dogs and even a couple of cats. Mom and Dad wouldn't let us play with any of them no matter how much we wiggled and whined. We got to meet someone named Dr. Slenn, and he was very nice. He looked all over us and said we looked good. He said I (Marbles) weigh 5 lbs 1 oz and Cocoa weighs 4 lbs 13 oz. We weren't very excited when he said we can't play with any other dogs for at least 8 more weeks and he mentioned something about shots. We didn't get any shots when we were there, but we have to go back in 3 weeks to get some. He said we look really good, but we already knew that - Mom and Dad seemed happy to hear it from him. We slept all the way home, then we got to play in the yard for a little while with Dad. After a while, the little people came over - Mom and Dad call them Hailie and Aiden or the "grandkids." We like jumping on them, but we always here the dreaded "No" when we do it.
The grandkids went home and we got to go out in the yard with Mom and Dad. We were out there for a long time. We tried to eat the sticks as Mom was picking them up, but she kept taking them. I kept showing Dad the holes in the fence that he was putting up that we can fit through. Mom kept telling me No, but all I was trying to do was help. Cocoa got tired and had to take a nap. We finally got to go inside and slept for 2 hours.
On March 10, Jerry and I drove 2 hours and 45 minutes to get a new puppy after the sudden death of our beloved Australian Shepherd, Titus. After much debate, we decided on two puppies. We plan to breed them in a couple years and figured we may as well get them both now.
Marbles
Marbles was born December 24, 2011 and is a blue merle female. She is the older of the two, and she likes to let her "boyfriend" know it. She laid behind Jerry's neck the entire ride home and didn't make a sound. Of course, now that she is settled in, she loves barking at the cats and is an instigator.
Cocoa
Cocoa was born January 18, 2012 and is a red tri male. He is 3.5 weeks younger than Marbles, and at this age, you can tell the difference. He did not enjoy the ride home - he puked 5 times. He loves to play with our older dog, Sidney, until she decides it is her turn to chase him.
