Cocoa


My other dog finally passed on to the next world.

Short haired red dachshund
Born: Feb 14, 1991. Died: Saturday, Dec 20, 2008.

· The way we used to play at the top of the stairs
· He always loved sticking his nose out the window of a moving car
· Loved riding in the canoe at Lake Shawnee, even afraid he’d jump out
· How he thought he killed a opossum with a bark (when it was just playing possum)
· How he loved Mike’s bean bag chairs, and when we took him off of one, how he walked across the room to the other immediately
· The time he fell off the dock at the lake when he came to investigate what had happened to me when I fell off, and I had to jump in after him because he couldn’t swim
· How he used to wake me up for grade and high school by jumping on the bed and actually burrowing under my neck and stealing the pillow
· Damn stubborn dog, always had to do things his way
· How he used to wag his tail so hard his entire body would shake he was so excited to see people or play
· He used to chase prairie dogs – never able to catch one; but every time one stuck its head up, he’d give chase

You will always be loved.
