i decided to take her. after debating long and hard. after discussing it to death with my boyfriend, we decided to take her. actually we already have her, we went to pick her up last night. we decided on a lot of things:
- we're opening a separate bank account for her and setting aside 10% of each of our paychecks for future medical emergencies
- if we were to break up in the future, i would have custody of her -_-
- if anytime soon our schedules were to change and we get really busy, we would leave her at my retired aunt's house during the day (she has 2 yorkies)
- we're getting testing done for: liver shunt, luxated patella
so we went to pick her up and she just woke up from a nap when we got her. we didn't even have to go shopping for her. she came with everything: crate, bed, collar, leash, shampoo, conditioner, brushes, toothbrushes, treats, food, toys, carpet cleaner, bitter apple spray etc. we need to get some pee pads and a carrier and greenies. other than that, we have a lot of supplies!
when we got home, she explored a lot and sniffed everywhere. then she was about to pee, but we hurriedly carried her to the pee pad. so far, she is good at peeing where she is supposed to. she also likes sleeping in her crate and woke us in the middle of night by whining so that she could do her business. we had to play with her for a couple of minutes before she went back to sleep.
i do have one concern about her though. when we look at her straight in the eye or stare at her in the eye, she barks. but she doesn't bark a lot, but she just gives a very soft *bark* and then looks away. what is she trying to say? she doesn't like us looking at her?

other than that, we are enjoying her puppy antics. she is so funny! and she is very sweet and gives us lots of puppy kisses. she smells like coconut.
p.s. we decided to keep the name that my friend gave her: coco. i wanted to name her emma, but she responds to coco better.
