Cocoa chose me in April 2009, back then, I was terrified of dogs. I knew we belonged together. Her name was MONie when I adopted her and my name RoMONda. We were a match made in heaven. During our first visit to PetSmart, we were both shaking. That was the start of our beautiful and profound relationship. Cocoa helped me get over my fear of dogs, something I didn’t think possible. She was small in size, but much larger in character and personality! She ‘protected’ our home from every possible ‘intruder’ regardless of size or species. Many times, she gave chase to dogs who were way bigger than her, forcing me to run after her screaming! The only option was to love her. Cocoa loved a good belly rub and massage; she knew she was loved and enjoyed all the time, attention, and benefits of being a most cherished member of our family. Cocoa will be missed by her humans, particularly her mom. Through the ups and downs I loved her with all my heart. The pain without her is deep, but my time with her and the memories we made are incomparable. We miss her so much and find comfort in knowing she’ll be waiting at the Rainbow bridge, for her humans who love her most.
