Very early this morning we said goodbye to our beloved furbaby Coco. 
aw: 
aw: 
We are totally heartbroken. We had 5-1/2 weeks with him after his diagnosis of Lymphoma just before Labor Day. We considered each day a blessing as our vet did not expect him to make it through that weekend. For the most part, he did very well almost the entire time particularly in the past two weeks. We were almost getting "comfortable" but on Sunday he began to take a turn for the worse. By late in the day Monday, his breathing was very labored and he had not slept more than 15 minutes here and there for 24 hours. Around dinner time we noticed his front leg was swollen and he was having difficulty getting around. By 9:00 it was almost twice it's normal size. We knew it was time.
We took him to the vets and he quietly passed just after Midnight. He was so calm and did not appear scared. My DD and I held him in our arms and kissed him goodbye as he drifted off. Despite our enormous sadness and feeling of loss, we were comforted by how peaceful he looked. His tongue slightly hanging out of his mouth just like when he slept at home so many times.
He will be terribly missed. He was my dog and our rock. I looked forward each day to coming home to his wagging tail and relentless kissing and affection. He gave my family total unconditional love and for that we are eternally grateful. We spent the five weeks spoiling him even more than normal. We made sure he knew he was exceptionally loved but nothing could ever surpass the love he showed us each day.
I have to believe in my heart he's crossed over the Rainbow Bridge and is now showing my Mom the love and affection he showed us. They are waiting for us to someday join them but in the meantime they are watching over us each day. I know he's running and playing and showing them all a good time. My hearts breaks but it has a warmth inside knowing he's in a better place with my Mom by his side. He will be missed more than he will ever know....
