Abandoned puppy is fast asleep after chasing a ball around the lounge room.

Coco (like Chanel and the base ingredient for chocolate- perfect name) has been mistreated.

Looks like she’s been tied up and cowed within an inch of her life.

Special place in hell for people who hurt animals.

Oh yeh … and stupid drunken girls who took one of my plants and smashed it up the street last night. Yup – you’re really cool.

Coco now has a lovely red collar (loves it) and a red leash (hates it). I wormed her and bought her some toys to play with – loves the ball on a rope.

She has a designer crafted bowl to eat out of and loves the puppy food I got her.

And … best of all … she’s trying to go outside to poo and wee … sometimes she gets out … sometimes not. No problemo.

Cue Liz with plastic gloves … newspaper … and disinfectant.

I’m also burning more incense at the moment.

We will be putting up posters and I’ve been asking around. But so far no one has lost a puppy.

We went and visited Mags … who is a dog whisperer. Coco likes me … but she LOVES Mags.

Went to the library and took out all their dog training books.

Two things Coco won’t ever get … beaten or shouted at … she responds really quickly to a clear ‘No’ when she keeps trying to chew the throw.

Cue photo below … just before she grabbed the throw … I’ve seen too many innocent eyes to be fooled.

Coco is feeling a little safer and has started playing with her toys and wandering around the house.

OK … enough dog goo goo ga ga.

Off to lunch in Moo Bar and then a siesta … all this puppy stuff is a little tiring … but great fun.

Then tonight I will be learning some latin dances. Can’t wait.

I send you good wishes for a great weekend.

I’m looking forward to opening Dad’s present (still unwrapped Pa) and going to the Moo Bar for a party tomorrow night.

Photos will be taken.
