Our little Vinny - Coton de Tulear

by Jovana
(The Hague, The Netherlands)

Coton de Tulear

My husband and I have jobs that take us far away from our families and to foreign countries. I kept asking for a dog so I would be less homesick, and just last week for my birthday my hubby bought me Vinny.

He is our little luv bug monster who loves to kiss and play. He is, however a little afraid of cars, but we're working on it! For teething, we give Vinny a baby carrot straight from the fridge. He loves it, and I don't feel bad about giving him "junk food". Truly an amazing breed. I am so happy with "my lil man."

Best birthday present, ever, hands down!

Iris,

I would love to see that pic of your Tuffy at 2 months. Please post it so we can all see.

I had never hear of the coton breed until now. They sure are adorable!

Congrats!
by: Ana Claudia

Vinny is a hunk! If you ever come to Brazil let him "date" our Sophie! :):) they seem to be the same age...

We tried the carrot today, she was not so excited about it, I hope she likes it in the future.

Congratulations! The Coton de Tulear is just an amazing breed!

A good way to car train the dog
by: Moxamomma Iris

I started Tuffy's car rides when he was a little pup by always having him get in his soft carrier ( his safe place) and carried him out of the house in it and put it in the back seat of the car. Eventually he figured out that he could open the velcro flap on top and also how to unzip the door from the inside*(smart Coton!) so I started leaving the front flap open and he would eventually climb out and sit on the back seat, then go back in and sleep in his "cave". Tuffy is two years old now, he hops right into the back seat of the car now, and the only thing about riding in the car that bothers him is the clicking of the signal indicator. He whimpers every time I signal to turn. I have a picture of him at just two months old asleep in his carrier (that was the day he had his first taste of "mellow mut" the chicken strips with calming herbs, and was so relaxed he zonked out! Go to my link to see the pictures.
hugs, Iris

Kindred Spirits

Your Vinny sounds so much like Luc, who was also afraid of cars when I got him (he's totally over that now) and also loves carrots.

Thanks so much for sharing your photo of Vinny - he's absolutely adorable!
