Our little Coton de Tulear, Polly...

Our Coton de Tulear, Polly, joined our family when she was 9 weeks old. She is very sweet, smart and loving. Although it's second nature to her, most people find it surprising that she is litter-trained. (I wanted to minimize dirty paws from the outside.) She prefers to do her "other" business however, outside.

Once she is let back into the house, she immediately sits and lifts her paws, so that I can wipe them. She is super loving towards our children and other dogs. It's so surprising more people haven't heard of the Coton.
