Cocoa, aka Arjo Cocoa, is another stunning 2-year-old brindle female, born April 6, 2003. Cocoa's sire is Arjo Penn and her dam is ChaCha Snow. Cocoa never graduated beyond her maiden status, starting first in Phoenix August 10, 2004 and ending at Valley Race Park in Harlingen March 24, 2005. She, like so many other brindles, has those magnificent amber-colored eyes that can look right through you. Cocoa is small animal and cat tolerant.
Cocoa has been with me for a month now and she knows her names and comes running when called. She continues to be a very insecure little girl, but she wants nothing more than to please you. I am taking small steps to get her out to meet the kids in my neighborhood, but she still isn't up to these walks without having the rest of my crew of 4 with her. All will be well with a lot of TLC and patience with this little happy girl. Her tail is always wagging, but I believe some of it is nervousness with the balance being happiness.
She loves her squeaky toys and parades through the house with them constantly. She loves sleeping in the cockroach position whenever possible. She stays in her crate during the day (which she really doesn't care for), but is sleeping out of the crate and in my room at night. She tends to wake up a couple times at night and I think this is where she is unsure and more nervous. With a little reassurance, she lays back down and goes to sleep.
