Bye, bye Coco.



Last Tuesday, my Coco passed away in my arms unexpectedly. He was sick on and off about a month after we got him at a pet store as a Christmas present for me back in 2005. He went into a coma as a puppy before being diagnosed with Addison's disease. I took each and every day after that as a gift. He was by my side during very difficult moments of my life, as well as the happy ones. He was aging fast, due to having taken cortisone most of his life, but was happy and healthy. He slowed down on Monday, had an addisonian crises at dawn, and his fragile body did not survive. My daughter and I are devastated and miss him deeply. We really appreciate every message of comfort we've received.

Coco's Mom.



P.S. Angel Coco may post again soon. He had stories that were not told. He wants to remain with us for a little longer, and he will look after his family from up there. I'm sure he would love for us to find a new furry member of the family. After all, our house doesn't feel like home anymore.

Looking forward to hearing the untold stories from Angel Coco. I am sure he'll help you find the new furry family member from up there and will soon train him/her (or perhaps them) on blogging. Meanwhile, I know his met my mom and they are having a ball looking after their beautiful girls down here. Te quiero mucho amiga.

We can only imagine how much you and Amelia miss Coco. His smile was contagious and we have enjoyed getting to know him since he started blogging. We know he looks down on you and wants you two to smile again too! xoxo Punchy

Our hearts go out to our family, during this difficult time. Coco's spirit, courage and positive attitude made him a much-loved member of our blogging community. Take comfort in knowing that he touched many lives, and that he will be remembered.

Visiting your blog from Tweedles (who did a beautiful tribute to his special friend, Coco). I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of sweet Coco. My heart goes out to you as I know all about the pain you are going through right now. I lost my precious fur baby, Patti Marie a few months ago. My D'Angelo was like Coco (where he has a lot of health issues). We count the minutes around here instead of the days. Each day is a gift.

Love and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
