Hi, I have just joined Yorkie.com. This is in memory of our beloved Cocoa. This last Feb. 2007 Cocoa was put down. It was the hardest thing we ever done. Cocoa had lost his hearing and eyesight about a year or so and started to be so fearful of things around him, he would bite and snap at anything. He would wander around the house like he was lost and to the point he could'nt find the door to go out. Again more problems with having to put a diaper on as finally he started to lose control. Although I could hold and cuddle him once I could pick him up without him biting me, we finally decided his quality of life was not good anymore, so, Cocoa was 15 1/2 years old when he was put down. He is buried in our front yard with his own cement firehydrant that was his from day 1, a tombstone that reads, "In life you always followed me, In death you watch over me, My friend, you will always be with me." Also, a
little cement squirrel stands there too. We got Cocoa when he was 6 yrs old. He had been abused and was a biter. If we had not taken him, he would have been destroyed. We learned how to play with him and he was such a joy to us. Followed us everywhere. he traveled to many states with us. I will never find another Yorkie like him. It has been 6 months and I still have tears writing this. So this is for you "Cocoa" MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.
