KoKo

I would like to use this blog to introduce KoKo our 7 year old Chihuahua.
We got her from a good friend when she was only 8 weeks old. She was rejected by her mother and needed a lot of attention to assist her in surviving. My friend could not dedicate the time it was going to take so she asked if we were interested in giving her a home. We already had two Beagles and two cats but we took KoKo into our home.
I took some time off from work so that I could spend as much time as it took to help her survive. I took her to the vet, got her shots and the medical advice I needed. She was so weak that she could hardly support her own weight. She would fall over and just lay there. She fit inside one of my socks and that's where I kept her to keep her warm. I had to feed her with an eye dropper and the feeding schedule was frequent.
After numerous trips back to the vet, countless hours of sleeplessness and a good many tears, she started getting stronger and stronger. She is now and has been a bundle of energy whose main purpose in life is to fetch anything and everything we throw for her. She loves both Todd and myself but is definitely my dog. Todd says that is because I spent the most crucial hours with her and the bonding that took place is one that will never be broken. I have to agree with this.
My sisters, Mary Ann and Janice, love to tease me about how much time I spend with KoKo. KoKo is rarely out of my arms or less then a arms length away from me. They may tease me but I know they love her too. Right sis'?
