Dear Coco,
I remember when I first saw you. You were at the DC Animal Shelter and I was working the second shift. You were so fiesty & didn't like anyone but me. Your owner was elderly & couldn't take care of you anymore due to immobility from old age. You didn't trust anyone but for some reason you liked me. Michelle (groomer & over night caretaker at the time) told me that you were in between the puppy area & quarantine area where alot of pitbulls were at time. How you slipped through the gate was beyond me! Taking a risk of being scared from pitbulls barking at you was very bold. You didn't care because you were trying to get to me. I had you at the front desk to keep me company at night. Someone was about to adopt you but they had a change of heart. I had to ask my older sister Tonya if I could adopt you because you were an older dog & was being considered for the upper room (being put to sleep due to space). After begging Tonya to adopt you because I lived with her, she found it in her heart to say yes. I was so happy to have you as my baby! We had something in common: we love hard. We had some great times & I'm heart broken that you are gone now. I'm happy though because you are in a better place now (yes I believe that animals go to heaven). When I adopted you I was told that you were 7 years old. After going to the vet, it turned out that you were 10 years old but that didn't matter to me. You were so cute, loving, loyal and a joy to have as a part of my family!! I love you Coco & I will definitely see you later in heaven, I'm hurt that you are gone & I will never get used to you not being around. Rest in peace & mommy loves you!! My family, friends, Streets & Lexi will definitely miss you too! You are highly loved & will NEVER be forgotten!!
Your Mommy,
Kisha :-)
