were the words we heard yesterday right before we loaded Coco up in the Jeep to go meet her new owner. Coco is Nicci's amazingly well behaved bunny that we gave her for her 2nd birthday. Sidenote: I don't think i've even blogged about it yet but we got a new little dog. She is a little purebred Yorkie, her name is Roxy, and she absolutely adores Nicci... and Nicci more than adores her. But she's been having trouble peeing in the house so we started kennel training her. Then a friend told my mom that she may not be peeing because she has to, but more that she's just trying to mark her territory because she's sharing it with a bunny. So we decided that since we will be going out of town quite a bit the next couple months for BYU games (thank you mom and dad!) that we can't take a dog AND a bunny...AND if eliminating Coco helped with Roxy's potty problem then it would be wise to find Coco a new home. We were really worried about Nicci saying goodbye to Coco because she was REALLY attached to her but when we told her she was going to a friend's house she responded with, "Have fun at friend house, k. Love you Coco...Bye Bye." Then she gave Coco a big hug and kiss and i drove away with her. I think i cried for 5 minutes. Then i cried again when i gave her away! Nicci was such a good girl it really touched me...and we have so many fun sweet memories with Coco that it was really hard to say goodbye. It was the first pet i've ever had, and it was the first pet i've ever had to say goodbye to. It was harder than i thought it would be. But when i got home Nicci was helping give Roxy a bath and was laughing so hard she had tears streaming down her face, and that made me SO happy! This morning she asked Seth, "Daddy, where Coco?" and Seth told her she was at a friend's house. She was so cute when she responded, "Oh yeah...!" and giggled. We are going to miss Coco, but Roxy is such a fun little dog and has done VERY well since Coco's absence! Here are some special pictures we've taken of our sweet little pets.

AHH! You guys are a cute little pet family!
Sorry Coco had to leave the family! Your doggie is very cute and I hope Nikki likes her as a replacement! Hope you guys are having a great summer!
I'm sorry Coco had to go. But How fun to have Roxy!
A little side note* Kennel train is such a great idea! We did this with our dog (6yrs ago) and she did wonderful. She now sits in her kennel like it's her bed/couch. Is Roxy having accidents when she is really excited to see you? She could be just being submissive, which is just a phase and will go away too. =)
umm...what the heck happened to Nicci's arms??
Roxy is so cute!! I want a dog just like her, down to the pink bow and everything. How are you guys doing? We need to chat sometime!! Nicci is adorable and takes such cute pictures!
Your little girl is adorable! It's Ashley Griffith (Thatcher) from high school - I am new to this whole blog thing but I have been enjoying your posts - so cute!
That puppy must really love Nicci! I can't believe how it lets her cuddle it! How awesome! I love Nicci's attitude towards Cocco-how sweet!
Hahaha, that video is so funny. I love the way kids respond to animals!
I have had to say goodbye to pets before and it is not easy-and I have shed many tears over them!

Hi Brandi! I am now a blogger and with that comes reading other people's blogs, like yours! Love the family picture. I'm sorry to hear about Coco. How did the boys take it? I know they would tell me that Reese's and Coco were going to have babies. They're so funny. I'm sure they're much more excited about your dog though! She's cute and Nicci is adorable! Hope you're all doing well!
That is too cute! Nicci is so adorable and sweet. I love reading your blog, but I'm sad that I never see you or very many other people even though we live in the same town. We should get together sometime with all the highschool girls here in Vegas. Oh... and I am so jealous you saw Phantom of the Opera!!! I REALLY want to see that. I'm glad you had fun!
