Roller Coaster Week

Well. after a crazy week Coconut is still here and adjusting to the Mendelsohn household. We received a call on Wednesday evening that Coconuts "owners" had come in looking for her and would like her back. After going back and forth with the Animal Shelter (can you say poor communication?!) we were ready to give her back. Then we received information from the shelter director that led us to change our minds and keep her and we thought it was over with..... only to receive another call Friday evening saying they still really wanted her back, they were missing their family member....etc. Again, we decided we would give her back to them, so we made a plan to meet at the shelter @ 11:30 on Saturday. They showed up and turns out it wasn't their dog! Can you believe that?!?! Pure emotional craziness.
Going to meet them caused us to miss our scheduled grooming apointment (which we had all been looking forward too....well, maybe not Coconut, but the rest of us). But the wonderful ladies at Foxy Pup were able to squeeze her in so we didn't have to wait until Monday. So below, you can see some before and after pictures.

So now we'll spend some time getting used to her and her to us. Hopefully her and Ranger will stop "playing" so hard that it scares us.....we think it is just playing, but what do we know? They do great, except when it comes to food. She is still eating puppy food and Ranger wants to eat puppy food.....thus the problem.

Laurin and Coconut watching the "How to Train Your New Dog DVD." Hope they both learn something.

The groomer owns 5 poodles and believes that Coconut is pure Poodle and her "Cafe Au Lait" coloring is kind of rare in the poodle world.
