We will miss you Coco!

Coco was our chocolate lab mix.  She was our second "child".  Cooper our golden retriever is our first.  We got Cooper from a breeder right after we moved to Idaho.  2 years later we got Coco from the humane society.  She was one year old at the time.

I remember the day that Kevin and I went to look at dogs.  We thought Cooper needed a playmate during the days while we were at work.  We picked out several dogs then asked the people working there if we could bring Cooper in to help us choose.  They were very excited about that idea.  We went home and grabbed Cooper.  Once we returned, we brought the first dog we were looking at out to meet Cooper.  It was awful!  Cooper has a  normally good nature.  She went ballistic and so did the other dog.  Barking, fighting, growling.  So much for that!  Next we brought out Coco.  It was love at first sight.  They started wrestling, playing and literally foaming at the mouth.  Coco was thin as a rail and malnourished, but beautiful! Our first order of business was to take her to get a doggie wash, then home we went.

A week ago Sunday she had a stroke.  We had never heard of such a thing.  It was a very sad day.  As much as I like to complain about how much the dogs drive me crazy, they are part of our family.  We will miss her very much!

Beautiful Girls!

 Coco and Kaden.

 Just taking a rest in the heat.

 Playing with Asher.  She put up with a lot of the kids antics.

 Wrestling as usual.  They also played a game of  "stalking" each other.  It was quite entertaining to watch.
