My baby Kozmo 2/17/03 ~ 9/3/13
 

My baby girl Kozmo passed away on September 3, 2013 after a long battle with multiple illnesses. She was beginning to decline rapidly and she no longer wanted to suffer.

Four years ago she was diagnosed with liver shunts and was told she would not live much longer. She was told if she makes it to age 10 she is lucky. She made it to 10 1/2 so she's a miracle.

She also had luxating patella and not only displaced her kneecap but tore her ACL. So she had one leg she could no longer use and the other back leg was hurt, too. Due to her liver disease she was not able to have surgery and surgery was the only thing that could help her. Therefore she could no longer walk. She also had a bad heart and was on her way to heart failure. She literally was going to die by over-exerting herself in order to try to walk. So we decided that she had suffered enough and it was time for her to move on.

I know everyone says they have the best dog. We all do. But she really was my best friend. She was there on my wedding night, and the last picture taken was of she and I. She was also there when my husband left me, and she comforted me throughout the whole ordeal. She was with me through 3 moves and career changes. She was my best friend, and my little girl.

I know that it was time for her to go. I wanted to ignore her health issues but looking back I realize the last weeks of her life she wanted to be gone. She kept hiding and crawling into small spaces and I felt she could never get comfortable. She was coughing up bits of blood and just looked like she was hurting.

I was the last person she looked at before she died. I sang her to sleep and we kissed each other goodbye. I told her I would see her on the other side. When she left she looked so peaceful and so beautiful. She looked as though all the pain was gone, and she looked happy.

I will forever miss my baby girl. But I have her son, BJ, so her legacy will live on. And I love seeing her baby boy look more and more like his momma every day.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your post touched my heart. Kozmo sounded like a very sweet and special little girl. Rest in peace, sweet babygirl Kozmo.

I am so very, very sorry for your loss. You have certainly joined a group that understands the love we have for our little ones. Also, wanted to say welcome to YT.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss of your best friend, Kozmo. Your relationship sounds a lot like me and my Jasmine that I lost back in 2006. Wow! Still seems like yesterday, I miss her so much.

Your post has me crying and I wish I could give you a hug. What a wonderful life of memories you will have to fill your heart. And, I honestly believe with all my heart, that you will see her again. You loved her, gave her the best life she could have, and took care of her at the end. She knew that. She'll always be with you.

Hugs!

I'm so very sorry. Rest in Peace, Kozmo.

That was such a beautiful tribute to Kozmo. It's so hard to say goodbye to someone you develop such a deep bond with. I'm happy you have such a big piece of her in BJ, and hope he can help you through such a difficult time the way Kozmo did for you before.

RIP Kozmo --- it sounds like you brought so much joy into this world

Can't hold back my tears for you and your best friend. So difficult to have to say goodbye to your loving dog. I've lost two and I remember them still. Her heath issues were overwhelming and you handled her so well, especially at the end. I hope I will have the courage to do the same. Hugs
