Kokomo & Belvedere of Wesley Chapel
Kokomo & Belvedere(Brother & Sister) love to take walks, play, sleep and eat. They just turned 3 months old and they sleep eight hours every night. They love their furry monkey toy best of all with his long legs and tail. They don't like the wet grass and the cool mornings. The funniest moment is when they discover ice cubes and then chase them on tile floor.
