Hello again my little darlings, I feel it is my duty to explain what a pocket is. A pocket is a simple combination of toy and treat to a coati. Pockets are meant to be filled with either toys or treats to eat. A good pocket should not have a button or a zipper. Although it presents a small challenge it’s not a deal breaker. I cannot promise that there won’t be a small amount of damage should you choose zippers or buttons on your pockets. The proper pocket should be strongly stitched to it’s base and have a Velcro flap. Velcro is entertaining and most likely will make your pocket reusable for a later date. It’s very important to remember; once you enter our home, all pockets become property of me and my Coatikids. We will find them all and search them all. Do not let me stick my nose into an empty pocket if you know what’s good for you!
Coati life lesson #3: To avoid a chomp on your backside, fill your Velcro flapped pockets with marshmallows and pudding!
Sincerely,
Nina Bellini

Hello there my pretties…. My name is Nina. I’m one tuff old Coatibroad so let me make myself quite clear from the beginning. I’m gonna give all you young Coati whipper snappers some good plain old fashion Coati knowledge, history and stories from my memoirs. Maybe, just maybe, if you listen up close, you might learn something about us Coatikids. In fact don’t consider me a Coatikid, I AM A COATIWOMAN…..I will just let you all know I am CoatiMom’s favorite. I do realize she thinks she is the boss, but I am much smarter and wiser than her and the Coatikids. I guess you can say I am the chosen one of the Coati Cottage.
OH yeah baby! Just a little to the left, now down abit…oh yeah up jusssstttttin inch! Oh that’s the spot! Oh it’s so good to be me, my human pets keep me so entertained….Last time I blogged I had just gotten here. I am sooo happy, and so spoiled! That’s me and Coati Daddy in the pic above. I lost my extra weight and I feel good. Getting lots of exercise too, you should see CoatiMom try and chase me out of the kitchen, see hates it when I help myself to snacks ( healthy ones of course)…Coati Daddy that’s another story, if it’s just him and I, he lets me get away with anything. He is really the best at giving massages and belly scratches ( my favorite). Yep you can say I have become the new favorite Coati in this cottage….
Time to wash up or down or maybe we can help CoatiMom with the dishes…….Oh nah let’s just play in the water! I do wish my brother Clyde would stop sticking his head down the garbage disposal. One of these days big boy Lucky is going to sit on the button and turn it on! You know how he is. Your nose will be chomped up and all because you where sniffing around down there AND all because you my brother….. are a Nosy Parker! You should leave your nose up in the air, like I do because I am so proud of my beauty!
