I miss you so much .....
by: Ed

16 Months now passed Co Co .. I miss you so, so much ... I miss our walks, and all the funny games you like to play. I miss your companionship and love ..Most of all girl, I miss my best friend.
-------------------------------------
If only I could turn back time,
and spend more time with you,
I would take away the pain you felt,
and replace it with my love for you.

I would hold your paws so gently,
and kiss your loving head,
and hold you close beside me,
as you lay sleeping in your bed.

I would understand the attention,
you demanded from me everyday,
telling me in your own doggy words,
that one day soon you’d be going away.

I thought you were immortal,
and that you would always be there,
but I took too much for granted,
and now your bed lay bare.

If only I could turn back time,
to relieve myself of this pain,
I would hold you so very tight,
so you could never leave me again....

Until we meet again girl, know that you are loved beyond words, and missed beyond measure -

Thank you

Your story brought me to tears as I could feel your love for your beloved dog. I feel your pain and know the loss of such a beloved rescue friend. Thank you for your story.

One year today
by: Ed

Co Co ...today marks one full year without you.

It's been an eventful year girl with many changes - Some good, some not so good but it seems like life has finally started moving forward again ...

Life hasn't been the same without you girl but I'm sure if you've been watching, you already know that ..

Many times I've felt you here, there's been a few times I've noticed your scent in the air and even a few that I would swear I'd seen you ... Thank you girl for standing by and visiting me when I needed strength and guidance ..

I miss you my friend ... I miss our walks, playing games, and just sitting quietly together watching the World go by .. You were my heart Co Co and I miss that part of me ..

I know you're at peace and your gentle soul has found rest .. I can sense it's time to let go of the pain and sadness and hold on to, and be grateful for the memories of our life together.

Truly God blessed my life when he sent you to share it with me ..

Rest in Peace Girl - Until we meet again and cross the Rainbow Bridge together, know that you are loved and missed -

Your kind words
by: Sue from Pt Pleasant NJ

Thank you for sending your kind words, I can see from reading about your memories of Coco that you and I felt the same way about our beloved dogs. It's just so hard because my family does not understand why I am so emotional- I still cry every day and just don't know what to do. Thanks for listening to me. Sue from NJ

Almost one year since our Earthly "good-bye"
by: Ed

I didn’t know the day had come to say our last goodbyes.

I let my tears flow freely, and cried and cried and cried.

I held you gently in my arms and whispered words of love,

My prayers escaping from my lips sent up to God above.

I held you in the sunshine – the sun upon your face,

I prayed for peace and mercy, I prayed for saving grace.

This year has passed too quickly, the days have gone by to fast,

I placed you in God’s loving arms and gave you peace at last.

I hoped you’d be here longer – it wasn’t meant to be.

By giving you this gift of love I’ve set your spirit free.

While thoughts of you will fill my heart and tears flow now and then,

I know you're in God's loving care, and look forward to the day when I'll see your gentle soul again.

I love you beyond words, and miss you beyond measure

RIP gentle Co Co

Changing Seasons
by: Ed

It was Winter when we parted gentle girl ...

Spring came then turned to Summer - It was not the same without you.

Now Autumn is upon us and soon Winter will return again to remind me of that fateful day in December when God called you home ...

I miss you so very much Co Co - Life without you hasn't nor ever will be the same - I take comfort knowing you're no longer sick / in pain and when the day comes when God calls me home, we will be together through eternity ..

Rest well sweet, gentle Co Co
I love you

Almost 6 months
by: Ed

No one ever told you what you did wrong
or why they left you unloved, and alone in that shelter. I rescued you.

No one ever told you what you did wrong
To never be brushed or played with,
Or given a forever home
I rescued you.

It was an ordeal to touch you, to feed you, etc..
But it was never difficult to love you
Yes dear friend, I rescued you.

I helped you trust again
To not to fear human touch, voice or action.
I gave you unconditional love.
I rescued you.

You were my best friend and companion
Long walks, trips in the car, and
late at night with the strange noises in the house. Side-by-side we two faced whatever lay before us
I rescued you.

Then as suddenly as you appeared
Illness befell you and took its toll
I did what I could, with love, money, and medication but this time, rescue was in God's hands..

December 27th 2011 I had to make that final, difficult decision and release you from your stricken body and send you "home" to God.
My heart has broken.

Now,in the deafening silence of my now empty house, I’ve realized
That it was not I who rescued you Co Co
But you that rescued me.

Rest in peace sweet,gentle Co Co
I love you beyond words and,
Miss you beyond measure

I thought of you today
by: Ed

Sweet, gentle Co Co...

I thought of you with love today but that's really nothing new,

I thought about you yesterday and everyday before that too.

I think of you in silence and often speak your name,

For all I have are my memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is a keepsake with which I'll never part.

God has you in His keeping girl but, you're forever in my heart."

I love you and miss you Co Co

Your forever human
Ed

4 + Months
by: Ed

It's going into Month #5 since Co Co left this Earth and went home to God ...

Not a day has passed that I haven't thought of / missed her ..

I pray her soul is at peace, and that she is happy, healthy and whole again in Heaven.

Most of all, I hope she knows how much she meant to me, and how loved she truly was ...

Until we meet again sweet Co Co ...

Rest in Peace

You're forever human and friend

Ed

Thank you Barbara
by: Ed

Today marks 3 months since my Angel was called home to God ...

Not a moment has passed that she hasn't been in my heart, and thoughts ..

She was special and I miss her more and more with each passing day

I pray she is at peace and is waiting for me

What a truly touching story..............
by: Barbara from Dorset England

Hi Ed,

What a beautiful story, beautifully told, about your Coco. A good part of what you've written echos what we feel and have felt about our two Angels who will be waiting for us at the end of the Rainbow Bridge. The one thing which gives us some comfort is that they are now back together. They are beautiful sisters - very different to look at and very different characters :0) They made our lives 'whole'.... How quiet our house is now, it's just a house, not a home any more without our 'girls'....

Here goes....

David and I lost our beautiful 'Angel', Tinks, a whippet, two months ago and she was 13 years young - too young for the Rainbow Bridge. Her sister, Poppy, went over the bridge 2 years ago - is it that long ago? Oh my goodness your beautiful lives, including Coco, went in a flash. But Ed, as you said, we hope we gave them the very best lives they could have had whilst being with us.......

Like you, we were in floods of tears, the days we had to take the awful decision, for them, not for us selfishly. Tinks lay her head down on my lap and didn't even flinch when the needle went in, I believe she knew we were doing what was right for her in her hours and days of need after about a year of not being well but trying SO hard to be her 'young' self. It was THE only thing we could do FOR her. She 'fell asleep so gently. We SO miss her as you do Coco. I wonder just how many owners of their Angels are feeling as we do right now.... SO SO sorry for your gigantic loss. Love and gentle hugs, Barbara. xxx

Two months without you
by: Ed

Gentle Co Co... it's been two months now since we saw each other on this Earth ...

Not a moment has passed that I haven't thought of you girl nor will a moment ever pass that you're not on my mind and in my heart.

I love you girl - Life without you is not easy

I remember all the times we shared together and all the wonderful things you brought to me - You were my friend,m y loyal companion, and my light when life got dark.

Thank you sweet, gentle Co Co for allowing me to be your human - I pray your life with me was as happy as mine was with you

Rest in peace Girl
