Coco Bean

Hi! My name is Coco Bean. I'm 84 lbs. of sweet, chocolate Labrador
"lusciousness"! I'm super soft, and I love pets and my belly
rubbed. I'm living with my foster mom and dad til I find my
"furever" home. Hopefully, I will find it by Jan. 30th when I turn
9 years "young". Don't let that age fool you… I'm very
active and if I didn't have a few grey hairs around my muzzle you would
think I was a youngster! I'm working on my "girlish" figure
trying lose a few pounds, so green beans, carrots, apples and blueberries are
my friend. I'm very smart, sometimes a little stubborn (so my foster mom
tells me…). I know sit, down, paw, wait, stay and come. I don't chew,
dig, or pick up stuff off the floor. Once in awhile I will get into the
garbage ( BUT, it's not really my fault cuz my foster dad forgot to take
out the garbage and BOY did it smell good! I couldn't resist !! )
I've been known to drink from the toiIet if the lid is up. What can I
say??? It's cool and refreshing!! I take treats gently. I am polite and
wait when you feed me. I wait at the door and don't barge in and knock
you down. Well….. most of the time…. Sometimes I'm just in a hurry! I
love to ride in the car. I know how to use a doggie door. I sleep through the
nite on my favorite couch or dog  bed where I can watch what is going on
outside. I can be trusted in the house alone. I'll just nap while you are
away. I LOVE the pool and will retrieve tennis balls ( sometimes 2 at a time)
forever! My foster mom and dad think the water is too cold right now but,
I'm a Lab! I'm built for cold water and I LOVE it! I will play catch
with you in the greenbelt too. I love, love, love tennis balls! I need to be
the only dog in the house because I like ALL the attention. I like other dogs
to play with at the park or at a play date at a friend's house, just not
living with me in the same house. I'm pretty much perfect EXCEPT I
haven't been on a leash and walked much in the past. I really don't
see what the big deal is that I pull and zig zag all over…. BUT,
I'm  learning not to pull and zig zag all over. Blah, Blah,
Blah…It makes my foster mom and dad happy so I'm trying really hard to
be good. If you would like to meet me (I highly recommend it!), contact my
foster mom. You won't be sorry!
