Cocotte camping

My cousin, her husband and I currently live together as roommate’s. And one day one of my cousin’s friends comes to the door, and asks if my cousin would like a 6 week old shihtzu. And so she took in the dog.

I found the original owner, and she indicated to me that she was a shihtzu and Pomeranian mix, and might also contain poodle in her. My cousin and her husband had the puppy whom was originally called Cocotte for two days. She was incredibly winy, and hard to give commands to.

For some strange reason she was more attached to me than she was my roommate’s, and for those two reasons they gave me Cocotte as a birthday present. It’s been about a week or two, and she is very well behaved, she does not wine, she has only barked 2 times. The only thing we need to work on is her going to the bathroom outside. But otherwise she is a beautiful, and a kind dog, that loves to cuddle and follow you around!

The original owner had about 8 dogs, and had to give them away because she is fighting cancer. I hope she does well!
