I had to bid farewell to Coco, beloved companion for 12 years and consummate gentleman. He was named for the Cocobolo tree in Costa Rica because of his two-toned coat. He was quite the athlete. He loved swimming, hiking, playing in the snow, and, above all, chasing a tennis ball. Thank you, Home to Heaven, for making his passage so peaceful and pain free and for your amazing support in such a difficult time.
