Today our Csocso turns 6! 🎂
Six years ago, at just eight weeks old, this little chocolate bundle moved into our lives. Back then, we had no idea just how much laughter, play, love — and of course, a healthy dose of chaos — was arriving with her.
Over the years, Csocso has collected quite a few nicknames too — Csocsedli, Puszedli, Hokedli, Nokedli… our silly little Hungarian terms of endearment that probably make absolutely no sense in English. 😄 But she knows every single one of them means her.
As a puppy, she was quite the little landscape designer: digging holes, rearranging the garden and occasionally making executive decisions about the future of our tomato plants. 😂 She was, however, absolutely terrified of a badminton shuttlecock. Six years later, she’s much braver — the shuttlecock is no longer a threat, although the postman is still subject to regular security checks.
Then she got a little sister, Lexa. And Csocso absolutely adores her. Since then, the two of them have been chasing each other, wrestling, getting into mischief, playing and generally taking care of all the important business around the house. If one of them is on the move, the other is usually not far behind. Lexa became her little sister, her playmate and her partner in everyday silliness.
Every morning begins with the very important task of choosing the Toy of the Day. She has two huge baskets filled with what seems to be half the animal kingdom — bears, beavers, koalas, balls, even a dummy — but naturally, the one she wants is always buried right at the bottom. She digs until she finds exactly what she was looking for, proudly carries it upstairs and basically announces: “Right, humans. I’m awake. I’ve made my choice. Let’s play.” 😂
She loves football, running, eating, sleeping, lying exactly where everyone needs to walk, chilling outside, getting soaked in the rain, and pretty much anything that can be turned into a bit of fun.
And she absolutely adores Grandma.
Especially when her fur is wet, because that’s when the real spa treatment begins. Out comes her favourite towel, and Grandma can spend half an hour rubbing her down, drying her and generally pampering Her Majesty. Csocso enjoys every second of it as though this level of service is simply her birthright. If she could book her next appointment in advance, I’m pretty sure she would. 😄
The swimming pool, however, is a completely different story.
Rain? Absolutely.
Wet fur? Love it.
Grandma’s towel spa? Anytime.
The pool? No thank you, I’d rather die. 😂
And I think that pretty much sums up Csocso.
A six-year-old forever-puppy who makes us laugh every single day. She sometimes drives us completely crazy, she’s always in the way, always ready to play, always ready for another snack — and all she has to do is look at us with those big brown eyes and she gets away with absolutely everything.
Six years ago, we had no idea what life with her would be like.
Now we can’t imagine what life would be like without her.
Happy 6th birthday, our beautiful Csocso! 🎂
Please stay our mischievous, playful, spoiled little chocolate bundle for many, many more years.
We love you more than you’ll ever know. ❤️
