Dear Mili ....

I have been very emotional the past month, crying so much -- haven't had such close access to hurt and pain in a long time - but that is VERY good, believe me...

But wanted to thank you oh so very much for writing of CoCo's last days, then all your heartfelt memories of her life with you.. I cried and cried and cried for I know how bad it hurts to have a dog who has shared our aloneness... I think I might possibly somewhat know you feel.. and even if I don't, even if I could never imagine the depth of pain you feel, I want you to know that my heart reaches out to you.. - Theresa

Thank you for reading what I wrote about her.

It's still the usual things, that make me miss her most. Especially coming home - no one to wake up so she can greet me (bless her heart, she did have to usually be woken up for about the last 2 years). And gosh did she sleep hard...she'd wake me up barking in her sleep! Running and barking a real high pitched bark, lips quivering, eyebrows moving all over. I loved watching her sleep.

If humans had a heart like hers, our earth would be like Isabelle's utopia heaven. I mean, anyone that has been close to a dog, knows that type of heart they have. What couldn't we learn, from our pets? From the biggest to the smallest, they all offer qualities we should learn.

I hope what ever is causing you to be so emotional, and cry so much, is something you can post about here for support. If you did and I didn't see it please forgive me! I've been here less and less. Just absorbed in so much going on around here. I'm glad you could access your heart, even the parts that hurt, reading about CoCo aka CoCo Puff aka Mooseface.
