Coco Sheridan

My precious little girl Coco where do I begin.

I had the great fortune of being blessed with eleven beautifully fulfilling years of an equally shared love,with my beautiful little girl, Coco. She and I were pretty close to attached at the hip.

For many many years my sweet Coco (a Cockapoo) was all I had in the way of a support system. I rescued/adopted her when she was 2 years old in 1997 and that was the beginning of a devotion both ways, that I could never imagine would ever leave me. Nor could this special love ever be duplicated.

Sadly and most heartwrenching, she grew older, tired and sick. And, although she kept her puppy energy as best she could, it was time for her to cross that Rainbow Bridge and finally adorn the wings she so deservedly earned.

My heart is heavy and empty but at the same time it is filled with the knowledge that we will meet again and run through those fields of green together, for eternity.

Oh how I loved/love you, my precious angel Coco. Mommy misses you terribly! :'(

I leave this poem I found on another pet loss website for my precious angel Coco and to all those precious little angels that have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.

Rest In Peace my beloved Coco. I will see you again.

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said, "It's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair
I tried so hard to let you know that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you every day
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled; I think you knew...
In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
And say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.

	My precious Coco, Mommy misses you so terribly much. I don't know what to do without you. You gave me eleven years of a love I never knew and don't now know how to go on without you. I am trying to comfort your little boy Giovanni, as he just will not sleep in your bed. He's so very lonesome without you. Luigi tries to help with his antics, but it's been Broadway who has truly taken the baton from you to try to keep everyone happy. I love you my precious number one girl. Miss you until we can be together again. For always I am loving you my baby girl Coco.

	Coco, mommy, I am lost without you. I can't seem to figure out how to get my daily lickings. No one will come to my defense when I am bullied away from the food bowl. :( But, I am trying with our Mommy's help, to be my usual self, for Mommy cries so much and I know it's because she misses you so bad. Luigi keeps hogging the affection Mommy has poured on me. He means well but ya know, he gets on my my chihuahua nerves sometimes. I guess that's my old age crankiness creeping up. I sure do miss you. But, I have noticed Broadway doing as you instructed her to do, drying Mommy's legs just after she gets outta the shower. I miss you Mommy, but I will make you proud and continue to be the little man of the house for our Mommy and to make you proud of me. I love you. Um, would you mind if I slept in your bed now? I've not gone near it since you left, because I didn't want to take your spot. But I would really like to lay my weary little body where you Mommy laid with me so many times before. Please don't ever leave us in spirit, because you know I'm getting old and have a hard time keeping everyone in line. I will continue to close my eyes at night in hopes that you will come back to me and tend to those pesky spots on my back that my little chihuahua tongue just can't reach. Save a spot for me mommy, because your spot is safely tucked in my heart. Forever your little boy, Giovanni

	Dear MaryAnn, My deepest condolences on the loss of your Baby Girl Coco. I understand your pain and heartbreak of the loss you have suffered. These Angels are pure of Heart and they are as much a part of our family as the human families we came from. I lost my girl a year ago September. Your remaining babies will give you the strenth to go on. They also suffered the loss of CoCo and they grieve with you. A family is made of memories and strong bonds that will never be forgotten or broken. In time your emotional pain will lighten but for now i wish you the best. Take Care. Denise Caliya's Mom

	My Precious Coco Girl, Coco, I am so lost without you! I just can't seem to shake the tremendous hole in my heart that has you all over it. I try to keep it together (you know how your mommy is), but I've not had great success with that. At a moments notice, I fall to pieces. I look around the apartment, look at your pillows and beds, and see you rearranging them. But then, reality quickly takes over the core of my being and the grief overcomes me, as those pillows and beds have been stationary since you crossed the Rainbow Bridge. In four days it will be Christmas, and I just could not put up the big tree because you so loved sitting underneath it (and knocking the train off the track just because you could). I put the small tree up, but it's so empty without you. I bought your favorite for New Years eve, the 3 month cross-over date of our separation. I will set up you favorite glass with your egg nog and Capt, M and will toast you my love, as a infinite New Years wish...to see you again beside that Rainbow Bridge. I love you so very much my angel, and I will continue to love you along with your two brothers and sister. They love you dearly and will eat a little extra (wink) this first Christmas without you, in your honor. Merry Christmas my precious angel baby Coco, Your Mommy for eternity

	Happy Easter my precious angel girl Coco. Although months are going by, you are forever with me and your Giovanni, Luigi and Broadway. I miss you with each moment of each day. Your unconditional devotion and love for me remains unmatched. I miss our hide n seek games, and your towel drying my legs after my showers. I miss you spirit, your energy and your zest for life, even through the harshest times. You were my lil rock, my security blanket, and I will never be the same without you. Giovanni still longs for your grooming skills and undying love. Broadway has not been the same since you left, she has become very insecure when I walk your brothers out of sight of her lil 'dog-in-a-catsuit' eyes. And Luigi, well Luigi remains the attention getter to ease everyone's longing for you my sweet precious number one girl Coco. You will always walk with me and your brothers and sister...forever eternal until Mommy greets you waiting at that Rainbow Bridge. I adore you my sweet angel girl... Forever your, Mommy
