Coco The Wonder Dog |
Coco was a wonder dog in many ways. First of all, she made us wonder why we even adopted her in the first place. When we adopted her, she was over 13 years old and lived in Florida her whole life. After adopting her, we brought her to live in Wisconsin. Here she endured her first COLD and SNOWY winter. A little over a year later and she has broken our heart.
Even with the snow over her head, she enjoyed it! |
It was a wonder she even survived a winter here after 13 years in Florida. She actually seemed to thrive in it, and that was a wonder also! Like a kid who had never seen snow in their life, but loved it. That was how she appeared last winter. The novelty had worn off by this Fall though, as she shivered during the October snow.
For a dog who grew up in Florida with an elderly owner, it was a wonder that she loved hiking as much as we did. She got to enjoy many of the Ice Age Trails in our area and even a trip to Michigan for a hike.
She was so funny when she "hopped" through the grass. |
Just look at that smile :0)! |
It was a wonder how much she wiggled her way into our hearts. We considered ourselves "large dog" people. Well, she was small in stature, but certainly large in personality. She would give you a snub one minute and and then snuggle in your arms the next. She was truly a wonder to behold. Today, after several weeks of decline, we decided to put her down and let her cross the Rainbow Bridge. We are hoping she has met Joey and Truman by now. She can certainly hang with the big dogs from our experience with her, and that might be the biggest wonder of them all! RIP dear friend! We sure did enjoy your WONDERful stay!
