Soco-licious

This blog will be a shout-out to my beautiful girl. She is literally the best dog I've ever known. She is sweet, gorgeous and hilarious. Eric and I adopted this beauty when she was still just a lil puppy with her 11 brothers and sisters. She had the cutest lil white toe and we both fell in love with the same pup. We called her "toe" for a lil while, but Soco just fit. And when Eric moved away last October for his job down in Charleston, I was heartbroken because I now was in a long distance relationship with my bf and our puppy. But luckily, my bf is a sweetheart, and has let me keep her at my place for the past few weeks. It makes life a little harder, but so worth it.

Everyday when I come home for lunch or after work I start sayin "how's my girl? how's my little princess?" and she gets all excited in the cage. When the door opens she weaves in and out of my legs and I give her a good rub down while she stretches. She is so funny. We have to buy her the industrial toys that are not easily broken otherwise she ends up eating them, literally. But her all-time favorite toys are actually Tiger's cat toys. So far the "catnip mouse" has lost his ears & tail, the goldfish was removed from the string and his eyes were eaten, and she ate the little white cotton ball. Sorry Tiger, she makes it hard to keep your toys stocked.

And, of course, she has a new obsession with peanut butter. I can put a lil swirl of it inside her Kong ball and she will lick it for hours. But the funniest thing Soco does when she plays is knock her ball under a couch/table and when she can't get it out, she sighs and whines a little. Its not an obvious cry. Its that sigh you make when you're upset with your bf, but you want him to notice and ask what's wrong before you reply "nothing."

She's a good cuddler, smart as a whip and has made new doggie friends at my complex already. She's spoiled rotten, but I love her. So for lunch today, I'm takin my pbj and popcorn and headin to the dog park to give her a little roaming time.
