CoCo Lee, the Handsome Maltese (August 24, 1993 - February 19, 2008)
CoCo passed away peacefully this morning around 10 AM. Chris, Roy, Tiffany and I were there with him at his last visit to see Dr. Pytka. CoCo is now with Sundog and many other friends in doggy heaven. His favourite thing was to "go to bed." He was Roy's sleeping buddy. They had great naps together. It looked almost like CoCo was just sleeping there.
Honestly, it still hurts so much even though we did everything we could think of to be prepared for this day!
CoCo was the most well behaved and understanding dog I've ever had. He inspired me in so many ways. I developed his first web site for him in 1994 when not many dogs, nor people, had their own web sites. He had so many fans from all over the world. Because of him, we met many kind people from different countries via email exchanges and also in person in different countries when we travelled or when they travelled to see us!
We knew him as CoCo The Handsome Maltese, as he was famous for his supermodel poses - he loved to pose for the camera. I had to learn to take better photos to keep up with his supermodel ability.
He liked to dress up and go out. He loved everyone's attention. When he was little I used to take him everywhere, including school, movie theatres and restaurants. No one would know he was there. He was so quiet and well behaved. When I took him to the office, no one would know he was there until they saw him on my desk.
For the last 14 and half years, he loved everyone he met and earned everyone's heart. We all miss him already!
Jessie and Chris
