Coton Connection, Issue #081 - Summer Celebrations

Welcome Coton Lovers:

Happy Summer

We're back! It seems like such a long time since the last newsletter even though it's only been a couple of months :)

Luc and I moved (only 20 miles away) so we've been taking time to get settled in our new home. As usual, there is so much for me to learn from my dog. The first night in the new home was very stressful for Luc - he was not a fan of the change. He was clearly unsettled and scared in his new surroundings. Here he is hiding in my office.

But by the next day you'd have thought that he'd lived here for years. He loves the new dog park just a short walk away. I would love to be able to be as adaptable as Luc. While I was packing and unpacking and then looking for where I put everything, lots of Coton birthdays were going on.
