CoCo is putting on weight...

and looking very motherly carrying around her Bichon Frise hand puppet. Merlin has settled down and is ever vigilant. Estee is seeing all the tasty diet changes CoCo is being treated to, and she is ready to get pregnant just for the food!!! Those goodies include baked chicken, fresh veggies, Esbolac supplement, Calcium Pet Tabs, egg, Science Diet Puppy Food and a little extra of each here and there.

CoCo and Merlin Mating Completed on Schedule

CoCo and Merlin were right on schedule and successfully mated 5 times from April 13 to April 17th, tying the knot one time each of the 5 days, and the mating sessions were from 30 minutes to an hour. They sure do love each other. Merlin is such an outstanding male, and is so tender with CoCo, licking her and cleaning her constantly and standing guard to make sure she is safe and protected. Amazing.
