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."
