Loss of Best Friend

It was a sad week in our house this week, we said goodbye to our beloved Cocoa.

She was my husbands birthday gift 14 years ago.  She was a Hungarian Vizsla.  They are also know as the Velcro Dog, because they stick to you.  

At the time we got her, Mike was working at home.  But she wasn’t crazy about that, so she always joined him in the office chair.  It wasn’t comfortable for him, but she started ruling the house.

She was a natural hunter and we enjoyed many pheasant hunting outings with her.  As we would start to see cornfields on the drive to a hunt, she would get so excited.  She would whine so loud.  Once we got to the hunt, she was all business.  Pointing out birds and doing a great job retrieving them.  When she brought them to us she didn’t want to give them up.  They were hers.  But we worked through that.  Here she is doing one of the things she loved.

She was a beauty and loved to cuddle and snuggle.  Those snuggles got us through the loss of our son Joe.  They were best buds and now they can enjoy each other again.

She loved the sun and to be outside.  Here she is enjoying the sun and playing in Lake Michigan.

Rest in Peace sweet girl.  We miss you terribly, but know that you are having fun and not hurting now.
