Arrival Story:
Well we got Mocha from a breeder (unfortunately we didn't know much about rescues). It's more interesting than that though. We got her on the Wednesday night, and on Thursday she slept all morning. We phoned the breeder to ask him if this was normal, and he said that she sleeps in the morning and plays all afternoon. So we waited...and she still didn't play. She had had a lot of treats, so we thought that maybe she had an upset stomach. Friday came...and nothing, she couldn't even move. Saturday...nothing. We called the vet and he said that it was unusual and to keep and eye on her. Saturday night came and she hadn't gotten any better. We rushed her up to the 24-hour clinic and it turns out that she had an infection that she got through the umbilical cord at birth, but we had a certificate saying that she was in good health and we saw her parents, they were fine. The vet said she might not make it through the night and if we wouldn't have brought her in, she would have almost certainly died before the morning. Well this little trooper made it through the night, came home a few days later, she was on medicine for a while, and then she was good as new, happy and playing like a puppy should!

Bio:
Well she's a tad spoiled. She's the centre of our household (well her and Panna are), she'll have 5 people watching her sleep. She's playful, loving, loves to give kisses, and pretty small for her mix. When she's hot, she goes and hides in the shoe closet and relaxes (believe me, she smells like a rose after that). Every day at noon she goes up to the sun room, lies on the couch, and sunbathes. She's trained everybody in the house to do what she wants. In fact, we have to cut her kibble in half and hand-feed her. Then when she's done eating, she'll go up to whoever's feeding her and give them a kiss. Oh, and she doesn't like figure skaters much. If there's people figure skating on the TV, she barks and barks at the TV until you change the channel.

My Hard Life


I've Been Tagged by Cooper Cleatus Capone

Thanks Cooper Cleatus Capone!

Here are the rules:
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged need to post the rules & their 7 pawsome facts in their Diary. Then they choose 7 dogs to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your Diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged!

Here's my 7 fun facts!

1. One time when I was a pup, I tried to bite a pair of scissors - I now sport a slightly forked tongue.

2. I'm very independent, so sometimes people mention that I might be part cat instead of a dog!

3. My hair was darker when I was younger, and has gotten a bit lighter so I'm no longer the colour of a mochaccino. I still have the "cream" face though, some black hair on my back, and a little touch of white on the top of my tail. I have a sister named Panna ("cream" in Italian) and Cannelle ("cinammon" in French too, so we're the Coffee Trio!

4. I'm quite the princess and I don't walk - I saunter. I wonder when mommy will get me my crown, it's been long enough!

5. I rarely play with my sisters, even though they always try to play with me. Sometimes when I'm outside I let them chase me or I play tug-of-war once in a while, but I prefer playing with my humans.

6. Even though I have short, stubby legs, I can run FAST (I can outrun both my sisters!). Mom says I would make a great agility dog, but I have a sore back so I can't jump very well and probably wouldn't enjoy being surrounded by other dogs. Like I said, I'm very independent.

7. I'm the only one out of my sisters who can always catch whenever Mom tosses me something, my sisters have trouble with that sometimes =P.

Hiya!

I'm a whole year older too!!! Panna shouldn't get all the attention, I'm the big...0-4! My birthday was just on Thursday and I got to share it with the Lousiana foster (Hula, because her butt wiggles when she's happy like she's doing the "Hula Dance"), and Panna. I kinda like being the centre of attention, but it's always nice to spend special occasions with those you love (or so mom tells me).

You know who I just love? Santa Claus! I mean why can't everybody be a jolly fat man who gives me presents? Or why can't he just come every day? But he's apparently comin' again soon (although he was at a parade today and didn't even come to see me...), so I'm excited...well, even if it is more than a month away. I think it would be kinda cool to have my picture taken with him, but I think I might get a bit overwhelmed with all the other doggies.

Anyways, I think I better be off, maybe I'll go play or something. I added a new picture of me today, the lighting's kind of funky, but I think it just made me look so darn cute. See ya!

I'm going to the cabin today, but I'm not as excited as I used to be. There's a new page added on to Panna's and mine, and it's Max's. No, he's not back with us, but he got hit by a car and died. It was hard for all of us to accept, but he's old owners are getting another rescue in his memory. Poor little guy, it was the day before his first birthday.

It's finally stopped raining here, but I STILL can't hang out outside because the mosquitoes are HORRIBLE. I don't know why the keep trying to land on me, but the leave itchy spots. My mom won't let me stay out for very long, so that sucks, but oh well. Hopefully they wont' be as bad as the cabin.

Well I'm off, I think it's one of those days where we get that special treat. We're don't get it very often, so I'm pretty happy when we do. Mom calls it something like heartworm, but that doesn't matter to me! I get to eat it1

Later,
Mocha
