Coco Charlize has arrived!

This is where Mommy, Daddy and Auntie Deb waited for me:

They got there very early because they were so excited!

Here is the van that chauffeured me from the terminal to them:

See...my name is on my carrier!

Hi! Get me out of here please!

I had a great trip!

HELLO MOMMY!!!!

Ahhh....she is a very cuddly Mommy! I think I'm going to love it here!

This is my "tough Texan" look. I've been practicing. What do you think? Doesn't it make all 5 lbs. 16 oz. of me look quite tough?

Auntie Deb, you are ruining my image! Oh, okay...you can baby me!

Wow....look at everything out there!

Okay, here is a picture of me at Dr. Smith's office. She is my new vet!

Mommy loves to kiss me and I love for her to kiss me! Win.....win!

Hello Daddy! How are you?

Mommy, I love to headbutt!

Ahhh...that feels great!

Hmmm...some exploring to do!

What is up here? Time to show off my jumping skills!

The famous Dr. Smith and her assistant Leslie. They are so nice!

Hey....can you hear anything????

They say that I am purrfect!

Leslie is showing me how to do "jazz hands"!

Dr. Smith...I hereby hire you to be my vet!

She thanks me properly!

Okay....thank you to everyone for wishing me a safe trip! I am home now and in the bedroom with Mommy. I love to snuggle with her under the covers. I will post some more pictures tomorrow! Thank you to Rose and the Royals for doing such a great job at being "Air Traffic Controllers" today! I love you all! I am so happy to be here in Texas. Mommy Teri, thank you for you selfless act in sharing me with Mommy ML. You are quite wonderful. I will miss you, but I will be talking to you very soon.

Love, Coco Charlize Taylor Sherwood

Safe as Houses, Home at last

What a lovely Kimono, Coco!

At 2:51 pm, We received an email from the Proudest New Maman in All the Great State of Texas, and asked me to pass along this message to you all;

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

We just got home. We stopped by Dr. Smith's and let her see and check-out Coco. She loved her...of course. Coco is doing great. She is so sweet natured and just purrs. She was jumping all over the vet's office. :)

We are exhausted. Could you post for us and let everyone know the above info? After we take a nap, I'll send you some pictures.

Thank you for doing such awesome job today

Love,
Deb & ML

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With Auntie Deb there, you are promised many, many photographs to come!

Don't We all wish We could be there purrsonally to share in the joy? Well, we have Our virtual reality. This will suffice for now.

Sweet dreams, Coco...Your Beans need to gather strength to throw you a proper Welcome Home party. (oops, We hope we haven't spoiled anything =:-/ )

Many Hugs yet to come!

This is a photo of Coco Charlize with her brofur, Eddie (to your right, her left)

Coco will always have the fondest memories of her days and years at Furrydance.

But she has yet to gather all new, warm and loving memories with her Loving Mommy ML, the biggest ♥ in all Texas!

ConCatularions to all at Sherwood House!

Five Minutes - Final Approach!

At last, Coco's Pilot must have a visual of Bush International Airport as he instructs his crew to prepare for landing!  They maintain an early arrival time, and as We all can imagine, Mommy ML's heart must be in her throat!
The good news is that, in Our experience, the Anipal Passengers are deplaned first and hand delivered to their pick up point.

Can we all say "Amen" to this exquisitely exciting meeting of Coco Charlize with her new Mommy and Auntie Deb?!

Less than an hour, now...

...and Momma ML will have her Coco cradled in her arms!  She, Auntie Deb and Daddy Charly are no doubt en route to Bush International Airport to meet up with Coco as she de-planes at Gate C-30 in Terminal C

Above, We would like to share a photo of a Momma Coco, with what We believe was her first litter, born May 15, 2007. Coco herself was slightly less than 2 years old, having her birthday on September 25, 2005.

She did have a second litter in May 5th of 2008,  She appears a most caring and good momma, affectionate and attentive, true to her Heritage.

At the present time, weather conditions in Houston are pleasant, if not a but humid. Temperature is 51' with a slight ENE breeze of about 6 MPH. Visibility is excellent, and by now, perhaps Coco has decided on a nap.   It was said TRH Prince Brutus and Princess marigold slept the entire flight. And so they did!

In another  few moments, We will check back with you as The Homecoming Mommy ML has been looking forward to for days and days makes itself a reality!

Half Way Home!
