Our little Koa boo came into our lives when I was feeling pretty sad about life. Koa made me happy again, he made me smile and I loved him so. He was such a dog…he loved to play with other dogs, go to the beach and roll in the sand, dig holes in the grass and all those other things dogs like to do. He was 8 months old when I gave birth to twin boys and I am convinced that it was because of his being there that I was able to have these sweet boys. It was hard those first months with 2 little babies and a puppy who was used to being number one. I am sure he had a bit of a hard time adjusting but we did o.k.
We decided to move from Half Moon Bay to Hawaii where our parents lived so we could be close to family. We did everything for Koa to be able to come with us without having to go into Quarantine (which Hawaii has). Koa came to Hawaii on April 3rd. I don’t know if he was happy with this move or not but he seemed to be. I found him a new friend since he had to leave all of his behind in California. He went to his new friends house often to play and eat her bones.
What I didn’t know was that their yard was not safe for my little curious Koa and 24 days after Koa arrived in hawaii he passed away from ingesting Rat poison. This has been the saddest month of my entire life. I miss my puppy so much it hurts. I want so badly to go back in time and change things, protect him. He was my dog and
he trusted me until the end.
I hope he doesn’t think I let him down. His life was short but he did have a lot of fun but there was so much more for us do do together that I morn the lost time. Koa sweet Koa…I love you with all of my heart.
I will love you forever,
