coco vecchio

My beloved coco passed away aug. 25, 2005 at 16 years old.  He was a black lab mix, my daughter received him as a gift when he was 6 weeks old.  I remember when we got him he could barely walk.  Over the next 16 years coco protected our home & our lives, gave my daughter & I alot of love.  Coco suffered a stroke at 14,  we nursed him back to health, after many sleepless nights & touch-in go days.  He mained w/me two more great years.  His head was tilted from his stroke, and he started losing his sight at 7 years old, but he could walk 3 miles aday.  He loved to go for walks.  One sad day he couldn't get up & walk any longer & his breathing was shallow.  I rushed him to the animal hospital were he stayed over night, I was told he might not make it throught the night.  He made it, but when I returned to pick him up, I was advised he was having seizures & his breathing was not good.  He still knew me !!!!!! I looked at him in the cage w/the IV's & my heart just BROKE!!! He couldn't walk any longer & his breathing was so shallow.  Finally I removed him from the animal hospital & took him to his long time vet.  & I had to make  the most painful decision in my life.  I wanted to take him home!!!!! I knew in my heart he wouldn't survive at home one more day!!! I would do anything for him he was my son.  I could deal w/him not walking, we would carry him outside like we did many times before when he had is stroke.  But I knew w/his breathing not good he was suffering.  I lost my best friend that day.  I love you coco, & we'll be together soon!!! nan You & me!!!!!! all my love karen

Sometimes due to veterinarian bills or financial hardship, pet owners suffering from pet loss are unable or unwilling to pay for pet memorials. 
It is very difficult for us at Immortal Pets to delete memorials especially one such as this.  We try to sponsor some of them temporarily while funds allow until the pet owner is able to contribute to the pet memorial or in some cases kind hearted pet owners make donations to help us keep pet memorials online.
