Goodbye Sweet Cocoa Bear

Today I took Coco Bear in, held her in my lap and said my last good night to her. She looked so peaceful as I softly cried and kissed her goodnight never goodbye. Our family is having a hard time tonight but that's just because we love her oh so much!!! But we know she's playing with our other furry family members and that puts a smile on our face. We think of her running with no pain being crazy as only a border collie can…

We love You Coco Bear…forever in our hearts xoxo

You did the most difficult but loving act that humans can give to their beloved animal companions. But it still doesn't make coping any easier.

Our hearts goes out to you and your family. In time, may you find peace and comfort in the memories you shared.

She was blessed to have a family who loved her so.  I am so sorry for your pain.  I hope you can find peace with this soon.  Cancer is such an awful disease, we lose to many loved ones to this.
