Three Days – We are In Love
It’s really hard to believe it’s only been three days since Cola joined us for her stay — it feels like she’s been part of our family forever. We are already head over heels in love with her, and I have to admit, especially me personally.
Cola has been the best-behaved dog we’ve had the pleasure of hosting since we began this dog-sitting journey. She’s a little timid at first, with just the right splash of playful spirit. Every 30 minutes or so, she’ll come find us just to give big hugs and kisses. Hugging Cola feels exactly like hugging one of those life-sized teddy bears — but even better, because her warmth and joy are so real and full of love.
She melted our hearts so quickly that even my wife has given her a very special privilege: Cola is allowed to jump up on our bed anytime she wants, something only Hershey has ever been allowed to do. Not even our beloved Frasier Sr. had that honor during the day!
When it comes to her manners, Cola is absolutely perfect. From the very first day, she knew exactly where to go for potty breaks and politely stands by the door when she needs to go out — and she doesn’t ask for potty breaks very often. Her appetite is wonderful, too. She eats her meals with such a ladylike grace, slowly and thoughtfully. What’s even more touching is that she likes me to stay close while she eats, often looking up between bites just to make sure I’m still there. It’s the sweetest thing.
She’s so special that I even broke my own rule and took her for a short car ride — something I usually only do with Hershey. Cola just has that kind of magic about her.
Honestly, there’s so much more I could say about her, but I’ll let all the adorable pictures we’ve taken do the rest of the talking.
