Best Friends FOR LIFE

Coco and Abby People’s Choice

This Time of year, “fur sisTers” CoCo and abby spend their days nuzzling on the couch and watching their favorite teams play. Saturdays are dedicated to Aggie football, and Sundays are reserved for the Cowboys. Anna Temple and her husband don’t have children, so she says they treat their labrador retrievers as their kids. Temple and her brother acquired Coco when they lived together. After he moved out and took his dog Shiner with him, Coco became depressed. But Anna’s sister-in-law knew someone whose dog had just had puppies, and Abby entered the picture. Six-yearold Coco suffers from appetite-suppressing allergies, but after the vet recommended that Temple give her a little “people food,” Coco learned what a food coma is. “Sweet potatoes are her absolute favorite thing,” Temple says. Well, that and spaghetti. At 3 years old, Abby is more focused on play than food. She loves to roam the house with her “lovies,” or stuffed toys.
