Meet Arlington’s newest Pet of the Week, Coco, a 12 year old Bichon-Poodle mix who loves to nap.
Here’s what her owner, Janet, said Coco had to say:
My name is Coco and I live in Lyon Village. I am a 12 year old Bichon-Poodle mix and came to live with my family when I was a puppy. I had a lot of energy when I was little, but now I really like to nap – on the floor, on the couch, in my bed. Well, really I like to nap anywhere! The one thing that wakes me up is when a friend walks by. I run to the front door so that my mom will let me out to say hello. Sometimes I like to sit on the front sidewalk so I can greet my doggie friends on their walks. My mom says I am part cat because I like to lay in the sun.
Although I enjoy walks around the neighborhood, my favorite places are hiking trails. I might look like a princess, but I love nothing more than to run in the woods and get really dirty. For shorter walks, my favorite place is Fort CF Smith. When I am feeling my age, this short loop is perfect for me. I have always loved toys, especially the squeaky ones. I still like to play fetch and tug of war every day! Afterwards, you guessed it – time for a nap!
