Coco
Man's best friend and one happy addition to our family, Coco!
She is one sweet and playful dog and we love having her around. Waking up at 5:30 in the morning to take her out to go potty and the many other responsibilities that come with dog ownership are well worth her company, not to mention how owning a dog is in many ways parental training grounds! Don't get too excited about that last comment though! About Coco, she is an eleven month-old Maltese-Terrier and came to us from a very loving home that could no longer take care of her. It's been an adjustment for us all as I'm sure that Coco misses her family and all, but after almost two weeks together and two dog training books later (I highly recommend this one: Good Owners, Great Dogs, we're one happy family of three.
Here, Coco is pulling apart a toy that Grandma got for her. She sure likes to chew (but not on furniture, thankfully)!
By the way, did I mention that Coco is already house-broken?! :)
What a good girl!!!
And here are some pics from the past couple of months:
A brief visit with my brother Ryan just before Mother's Day. Pic taken by Eric for Mother's Day present. And yes, there is a story behind the bubbles...
And speaking of Eric, here he his!
Hilary, a friend of ours I've been teaching Japanese for a couple of months or so. She is really coming along and for me, it's been great to be speaking Japanese again... ヒラリー、ちゃんと勉強してるか？:)
Last but not least, our two favorite road warriors. My parents are on a crazy 6,000 mile road trip right now and are blogging along the way but I'm not sure if I can add a link without their permission. I'll keep you posted on that...
And for now it's back to taking care of Coco and doing my best to be a good dad and a good husband. Come on, Coco. Let's go potty!

Has Coco had any "accidents" inside yet?
She once peed at the door when Sharon and Steven came over but I think that had more to do with being excited to see them. That, I wouldn't really call an "accident," would you? That's just what little kids and puppies do from time to time. So far, so good. Let's hope that things stay this way... How about your cats, Rambo and Roxy--how are they with using the litter box?
Congrats on your new addition. Just keep her out of my way when we play Wii. ;)
Love the fingernails photo, and the effects on the bubble photo. Keep those pics coming!
Eric, don't blame your Wii performance on Coco being in the way--just embrace that "swish" noise you hear every time I serve the ball and we'll all be better off! ;) I'm kidding. Yeah, we're really happy with Coco and we're glad that she has taken a liking to you as well.
Thanks, man. Dude, we have to go out and shoot something soon. We should go somewhere one of these weekends for at least a couple of hours.
