Mommy didn't know that much about me when she rushed me to the animal doctor.... All she knew was... I was sick and almost dying.... My skin was dry.... just hanging on the bones...hair falling out My teeth and breathing were bad....my eyes were yellow with goop in them.. I was sick... so sick I couldn't hardly eat.... Flesh and bone... flesh and bone, that is all I was.. The original people who had me, for some reason didn't want me any more, I guess. Why? I am not sure...They just dumped me.... out in the country, to find a new owner or die. They really didn't care one way or another... The doctors told mommy that I was full blood Chocolate Lab and I was born just for breeding, but because I had a flaw, I was no good to them. So they dumped me...... When mommy asked what the flaw was, she was told that my legs are too short..... Right then I heard mommy laugh for the first time and saw this big smile, with a twinkling in her eyes... " Dear lord, I am glad I'm not a dog, some one would have dumped me a long time ago!" Mommy leaned down to me and said " You're a keeper, and your name is Cocoa" "You're my girl now, honey, and I will never leave you..." A big hug and kiss on my head and whispering in my ear... "That's ok, honey, we both walk with our butts close to the ground..... but our heads are held high " I have been with mommy for a year almost, come this Feb. 23rd, 1999. My birthday, I was told, is around April 04, and I will be two years old. This year.... my teeth are white, breath smells good....my eyes are not yellow, my skin is not dry with hair falling out or skin hanging on bones.. But have a bright shiny coat of hair... as you can see... and I now have my own twinkle and attitude in life..... Yes, mommy was right.... I am..... HOLDING MY HEAD UP HIGH  Here’s a little about Cocoa’s friend, Shabby: I'm an 8 year old dog and I like my boss very much ! He took me out of an animal shelter when I was 4,5 years. My hobbies are : Barking a lot!!....Chasing cats and rabbits and busses!!...Sleeping!!....Eating!!.....and I used to have another hobby but I can't do that anymore:( More on Shabby To Come Later  |
