At 5:35pm, November 1st, 2017, our beloved labrador retriever Coco, passed on from this life. She was love, and was loved. Pure joy and happiness in a wonderful four-legged package. She is already missed, but the knowledge that someday we will be together again, removes a little of the hurt and pain.

She had a host of issues. What we thought was a side effect of a tramadol prescription, turned out to be highly aggressive and malignant throat and laryngeal cancer. She would only have had a couple weeks to a month, even with surgery. So we had to make a hard decision. She passed on surrounded by her loving family, and with a smile on her face and love in her eyes. Nynaeve is incredibly upset and out of it. Me too, really. But had to post something here, to let you all know. Thank you, everyone. And hug your four-legged companions close. Love them as they love you. If not more.
