Another big snow storm, and another snow day….

The latest storm dumped just over 2 feet of snow on us in the last 24hours!  News reports said this is the biggest snow fall in 24hours since the blizzard of 1888 when 30inches fell in 24hours.  There was an accumulation of 30inches reported in a town just a few miles away from us. 

Shoveling and snow blowing took a lot of time, but, the snow day today also gave me the chance to take a few new photos of Cocoa.  She is 9 months old today.

The day after Christmas……

The snow is beginning to fall, and it should be a BIG one.  The forecasters are saying we will get between 8 and 12+ inches.  This is Cocoa’s first time seeing snow…….when it first started she was snapping at the falling snow trying to catch the snowflakes!

Let it snow...let it snow....let it snow...

Ahhhh, joie de vivre…..
 
Cocoa is nearly 6 months old, she is a full of energy and is always busy doing something.  She has such an exuberance, such a joy of living that you can’t help but smile just being around her.  I took a few candid shots of her while she was playing in the yard today…..boy does she know how to have fun!

A rare moment when she was still!

A rare moment when she stood still, probably just catching her breath!

First Night….

Cocoa attended her first night of obedience classes tonight, considering her wild and crazy attitude it might be more appropriate to send her to reform school!  She is a quick learner, she is also very energetic, agile and FAST.  I think she will be a lot of fun in the performance areas when she is ready!  But for now, I have to work on taming the beast! LOL!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Sheltie……

Cocoa is 20weeks old, she thinks puppies should never have more than 2 feet on the ground at once.  Actually most of the time, there is no need for feet on the ground at all, as far as she is concerned!

Cuckoo for Cocoa- Puff…..

The little imp is nearly 16weeks old and what a “she-devil” she is!  This picture was taken earlier today, when she stood still for barely a second long breather during one of her zooming sessions!  She LOVES to zoom!!  Cocoa has had loose teeth for a few days now,  the first one fell out today…..I can’t wait until ALL of her “shark teeth” are gone, perhaps my wounds will finally heal, LOL!

Cocoa is a little over 3 months now…..

It has been nearly a month since our last post about Cocoa,  so it is time for an update and some new pictures. 

Following in the footsteps of her momma Norah and Aunt Jetta, it is no surprise, she continues to be quite the character!  She is just an endless bundle of energy.  Cocoa continues to take new things in stride, and loves to learn!  We couldn’t be happier with how she is progressing!!

Below, Cocoa is trying to tease her Aunt Jetta enough to give up her nap and join in a game of chase.  Jetta is very tolerant of Cocoa’s continued attention and boundless energy…..they have become great friends!

INTRODUCING “COCOA”…….

These are a few pictures that we would like to share of our darling little girl “Cocoa”.  She is our show hopeful from our “Norah” x “Adrian” litter.  “Cocoa” continues to make us smile both with her endearing personality and by maintaining her early promise.  She is pictured below at 10weeks, 6 weeks and 5 weeks with her lovely dam “Norah”.  We have fingers, toes, and everything else we can…crossed that she turns out.  We think this girl is very special!
