Today is Koko's birthday! To our new furry pals, you may want to read all about him in our tribute to him last year here. He crossed the bridge years before we came into Piappies World and we dedicate our blog to him for he constantly watches over us here in our furever home.
Piappies Mom and the entire Piappies pack join the blog world in saying "See you again, Max!" Maxdog in South Africa crossed over the Rainbow Bridge today. Do click to see Maxdog Mom'sbeautiful poem for her most special Max.
Thank you so much for touching our lives. You will continue to live in our hearts and we will always cherish your memories, dear friend. We will always feel the warmth of your smile and the positive messages you so generously shared with us.
We continue to share our adventures with Tammy, King Toffee, Mr. Boss and of course your dearest Maxdog Mom as you watch over us. And every time we look in up in the sky, we will always look for your star shining brightly in the heavens.
Send our love to Koko and Peanut, alright. Until we meet again.
Hello to all our furry friends, Piappies Mommy here. Allow me to take over the Piappies blog for today. You might be wondering what the photo above is all about. Are these the fave stuffies of the Piappies? Hmmm... are these ALL stuffies? Do you notice that there is one that is NOT a stuffie? You're right, that's Koko you see in the middle.
Now, who is Koko, you might ask. Koko is the puppy that I've dedicated this blog to and today is the best day to tell you all about him.
On February 24, 1985, Koko came to our home as a gift to my brother. He was very playful, sweet and loving. We instantly fell in love with him.
Our Mom would take him for car rides when she'd pick us up from school. He loved looking out the car window and feel the wind on this face. He had his OWN space on our bed, he loved baths, playing with toys --- chewing on our watches (!), getting tummy rubs and even being groomed. He enjoyed doing fun things ---
we watched our favorite shows on TV
he entertained us with his dancing moves
and even agreed to wear a dress and a ribbon for the flashy box! Silly Koko!
We grew up together --- Koko was my constant companion. For years, he never got tired of waiting for me to come home, staying by my side when I was sick, protecting me from strangers (ok, maybe he was just being possessive) and just being his adorable self.
Koko was also a loving and protective dad to his son Kiko. At that time, we also had a poodle, YumYum, that completed their trio. They all provided lots of laughter and love in our home.
After sharing nine wonderful years with Koko, he crossed over the rainbow bridge on July 15, 1994. I was heartbroken and I thought I would not be able to get over his loss.
Up until the Piappies found us and made our home their furever world. I've come to realize that memories of Koko never fade. I still remember the fun times we had and it sure brings a smile on my face.
Now, I take the chance to thank you, furry friends and hoomans for accepting our friendship and allowing us to share our fun adventures together. Reading your stories become constant reminders that furry friends indeed prove the power of unconditional love and giving back the love and care is the least we can do for them. We share this love with all of you as well.
Koko 24 Feb 1985 - 15 July 1994 Happy Happy Birthday, My Dearest Koko! Thank you so much for being part of my growing up years. I may not see you running and dancing anymore but you live furever in my heart. Watch over the Piappies and all our furry friends. Love you furever!
