Sir Kojack Knight of Serenity

       

       Sir Kojack "Koj" Knight of Serenity was my baby. He was born on November 1st
1995. He recently past away on July 8th 2001. Koj was my dream. He was my world. 
I waited a long time for a great Dane. He was there for me every night. Koj slept at the 
foot of my bed. He was part of my family. I only had him for 5 1/2 years but it seemed 
longer. He was diagnosed with bone cancer last month. We used to play football with us. 
Koj loved to ride in our car and we didn't really have to go anywhere at all. I took him 
at night a couple of times to pick up Mark (my son) after work Koj would sit right there 
and watch for him to come out.
       Koj is now gone, but is no way forgotten. Koj is a one of a kind. I know he is at peace 
now. He is no longing in pain and is able to run and chase about like he use to before his 
cancer. I have this pain in my heart because I can no longer hold my baby. These words 
don't tell everything but just writing this helps.
      Koj was not always will to accept a lot of people. Koj was very protective of his Mom. 
Koj loved our other dogs; the late Ladybird and our poodle Deni, who only weighed 
9 pounds but wouldn't let him push her around. He was funny at times especially when 
he wanted Cheese Puffs. He would turn up his lip to make a face to get you to give him one. 
He would pout like a child when I had to say no. I miss him a lot more than words could 
ever say. He was special in his own way.
      Koj's nanny (my Mom) was not a dog lover at all. But Koj could turn on the charm 
with her. He would stand on his hind legs and wrap his paws around her to give her a hug. 
Koj was very gentle with her and could sense that she had a bad shoulder. He never put 
any pressure on her should when he gave her his hugs.
      Mark was his "bubba" and that's what we sometimes called Koj "bubba." Koj and Mark 
would get outside and play any type of ball they could. Then they both would come in get a 
drink and crash on the floor.
      Koj, I miss you so much. I know you are no longer in pain and can run free. So until 
we met again, take care my baby. I was there with you until the end.
You will always be "mommas baby."
