I am having trouble sleeping without the constant companionship of Cocoa
Hi Everyone. Cocoa is my very loved companion and she is in the hospital tonight with a spinal cord injury. I can not sleep without her home with me. I love her so much that words could not express how much love I have for my sweet darling Cocoa the Pug. I miss you Cocoa and I want you home soon.
Tami

Cocoa is in the hospital after being injured by my older larger dog Zephyr and she has a spinal cord injury. She is having trouble walking and needs to be hospitalized. Thank You.
