I live in a house with two humans.

Ok... Apologies are in order again; yes, after my failed attempt at a blog return, I need to say I'm sorry dear readers. Hopefully some of you are still around. Finally, today I decided it was time for an update but not a fashion one. Let's go for the "About Us" category.

About Coco; one of the reasons I have been camera shy lately is that I have had the hardest time keeping a balance between work and eating healthy and exercising, resulting in a fast and large weight gain! This is no excuse for putting fashion aside but I must admit that my wardrobe had suffered. I have recently come to terms with the new weight gain and decided to rebuild a new "larger" wardrobe. Hopefully soon I will be able to share some of my new favorites outfits in a new chubby but happy Coco's body! One of the joys of growing older has been to be able to accept myself in all shapes and especially for feeling confident at any weight! Ouf! I can't believe I am finally able to say that, I almost have tears to my eyes; happy tears of course!

About Django; one of the reasons Django hasn't had so much time to take out the camera is that he was very busy making one of Coco's biggest dreams come true. For a long time, Coco has been pleading for a little dog. There was many tears, sad tears of course and much "please...please...please". Until one day Django found the perfect match for Coco and him. Wanting a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for so, so long and Wanting a Chihuahua for so, so long, it was difficult to choose a doggy, we didn't want to compromise on one, didn't want to compromise on the other.

About Pepper: Pepper came into our life 2 months ago, her daddy being a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, her mama being a Chihuahua, she was the cutest thing we had ever seen! We must say not only did we choose her at 8 weeks old, she also choose us. Her breeder said she was the most introverted of the pack, but as soon as Django and I walked in the door, she pushed all the other puppies aside and made sure to let us know that she was the one. To our surprise, after only 2 weeks home, our little timid puppy had already blossomed into a real Alpha Dog and oh, does she ever deserve her own little Oscar Award, as her little eyebrows of "fake" sadness in order to panhandle treats will surely win her the "Best Actress" every time. In the interim, her consolation prizes: favorite chew sticks and Three Dog Bakery Peanut Butter or Daisy cookies.
