CoCo died in Feb of 2005. I have written about him before. He was my life. I had him for 15 years. I got him at the pound when he was 2. My children taught him to dance. And for a small dog he could move on if the door was left open. As the years past he lost his sight and his hearing. With a heavy heart I put him to sleep when he could no longer eat. I already had a small dog named Kayla and she missed him so much, so I got another small puppy to keep her company. We named her Bump. She is small but mean as the devil. She can show her teeth and look just like a gremlin. One day my husband called me from the fleamarket where he works and told me he had got Bump a toy. Well I thought he meant a toy ball. When he got home I told Bump to go get her new toy. She flew out the door and then back in. She went behind the couch where she goes when she is scared. I could not figure out what was wrong. I walked out to the truck and there sitting in the back of the truck was a baby rottweller lab mix. To say I was happy about this would be a lie. The puppy which we named Cheyanne was looking at me with this look as if to say look out world here I come. As we looked at each other I felt I was looking at someone I use to know. As the days passed into weeks I began to see more and more of CoCo in Cheyanne. When she runs she bows up in a tight ball just as he did. She runs at top speed. She jumps up on you wanting to dance. She will wrap her big paws around your waist and jump up and down just like CoCo did with my kids. She wants to be next to you at all times. She will eat anything just like CoCo. CoCo loved to eat crabs and you never had to crack them open for him. I have not given her any crabs but I feel sure she will love them to. She is only 5 months old and everyday I see more and more of CoCo in her. Maybe just maybe CoCos spirit lives on in Cheyanne. I dont know what to think about all this. Whatever or whoever Cheyanne is I love her. Even Bump has come around to loveing her. In a way Cheyanne has brought CoCo back to me and I am greatful.
