ko-ko came in to our life like a breath of fresh air , she was small fast and very loving . we only had her a few days when we noticed that she was ill , we took her to the vets and she was diagnosed with parvo virus . how could such a sweet little thing be so ill , we brought her home and loved her and a few weeks later was given a clean bill of health . she grew to be a wonderfull loving little girl who loved to play and dig in the mud , she used to look at us as if to say im a good girl ! although she was coverd from head to foot in mud and made the house a mess her little face was beaming so a telling of went out the window , all you could do was laugh . 2 weeks ago we noticed ko-ko had a lump in her tummy , we thought it was a stone or the handle of my hair brush she eat the day before , we took her to the vet for xrays but they found nothing so done emergancy sergery . ther was nothing in ther except a massive spleen and lymphnodes so they took samples and sent them away for tests . the tests come back as the beggining signs of lymphoma canca and the out look wasnt good . my heart was broken and i couldnt stop crying , every minute was spent with her on the floor or on the sofa or bed . well that was a week ago and nothing got any better . my baby girl was so so poorly that yesterday we decided after a long chat with the vet to put her to wrest , she was so unhappy and sad and i couldnt watch her get any worse . with all my strength i walked her through the door and held her tight in my arms with my lips pressed against her head wispering in her ear that i loved her and she will always be mummy baby girl . at 11.35am my baby girl passed away aged just 1 year and 2 months old . we love you ko-ko and you was a true joy to look after for such a short time , see you on the rainbow bridge baby girl .
