Topic: My Daily Personal Life, by Felissa M. Garcia

I know it has been a few days since I've been able to write on this blog, but the last week of my life has been probably one of the most difficult times in my whole life. I have never lost a beloved pet before and especially one who was with me for almost 11 years and who was my companion, at my side, every free hour of every day. You know the only thing Coco ever wanted was to be with me. Sometimes she had to stay outside so she could go potty outside but right away the first thing she would do was scratch on the door to come in. Then when she came in, she didn't go with anybody else but with me. She followed me everywhere, even into the bathroom! I loved and love Coco more than I can even begin to describe so when I found her passed away I was the most devastated I've ever been in my whole life. I've lost my Father, Brother and Brother in Law and I loved them very much. I don't know but maybe it's because Coco was my faithful companion that this hurts so much more.

I know very well that there are people out there who either dislike me or even may hate me, for their various reasons, whatever and whoever they are makes no difference to me it doesn't mean anything to me. But I'm sure they will be happy to hear about my misfortune with my pet. That's ok. I know I can be a difficult person to handle if you're on the opposite side of the fence from me.

We are having Coco cremated and she will be placed in a tiny gold urn. She was less than two pounds, a teacup Chihuahua with long silky brownish-reddish hair and pretty brown eyes. I love her so much and I miss her until my heart feels like it's tearing up inside of me. They are also going to make a small pendant with her remains inside so I can carry her with me always. It's what Coco wanted anyway! To be with me at ALL times.

I'm sorry I have to share this very sad news but somehow it feels better now that I wrote about it. Up until today I still didn't believe really that she was gone. I still don't to a certain degree. I am so sad. :( Felissa M. Garcia
