Welcome to Crazy Town, Coho

Pretty Coho: cautious but craving human attention

Poor Coho. The trip up to WA from CA is always scary enough for dogs, but then poor Coho landed in a foster home that's in total chaos. We have out of town guests, and while Langley loves them, it was the final change of the holidays that threw him over the edge and he is in full panic mode: obsessing about eating things in the yard so much he can't eliminate out there, panicking in his crate, and much more. So Coho walked into our home in the middle of all this. Of course Coho was an additional "change" for Langley so we aren't even considering working on introductions between the two of them because Langley is too far gone to work on something like that.

She's really enjoying exploring the sights and smells of the PNW

More peeking at the back yard: lots of birds and squirrels to keep track of

Understandably, Coho was terrified of this full on crazy terrier who was twice her size. So she's a little nervous at this point. In spite of that she loves attention from people and is getting used to us and coming up to us for pets and loves. She finds the act of being picked up scary but once she's in someone's arms she's happy.  Her favorite though is if I just sit on the floor and she can hop in my lap. We'll give her a little time and space and she'll be tearing around in no time. She did great when she was in temp foster care so we know this is just a temporary thing and she's getting used to the stressful environment she landed in.

Demonstrating her dance moves

She's a bit underweight so we'll be working on getting some weight on her. She also still needs to be spayed and microchipped so that will be happening in the next week. Lots going on for this tiny little 8 pound girl.

The good news for poor Coho is that things will start to settle down on Monday as we get back on our normal schedule. Langley "resets" pretty quickly these days so hopefully once he slows his brain down, he and Coho can become friends. So stay tuned as we watch this sweet and beautiful little dog blossom into her new life as a rescued and loved dog.
