Our beautiful dog of ten years, Kona, passed away last night. Our constant companion and loving friend, it is so hard to imagine life without her. Now I know some of you are probably thinking "it's just a dog", but she was so much more than that. We always called her our first child, even though she was more of a mother to us than us to her.
I remember the first time I met Chad and he had this monster of a pet, whom I might add, did not like the idea of me moving in on her man. I was terrified of her at first (you should have seen the teeth on her!), but she warmed up to me, and we finally bonded after I sat and rubbed her belly for about two hours. (She was a sucker for a belly rub.) She never left my side after that. Unless it was to chase after our other dog, or a kid here and there.
You couldn't have asked for a better dog. The alfa (fe-) male; she used to sit in front of our gate if it was left open so Bo (our other dog) couldn't leave the yard. And if any other dog even tried to come close to one of us she let them know who was boss. Everyone knew their place with her.
She was definitly a tough dog, yet every kid in our neighborhood knew her as the big teddy bear. She lived to run in the mountains and take care of the ones she loved. She will be forever in our hearts, and greatly missed. There could never be another dog as great as she.
We love you, Kona. Take care of Bo, and we'll see you later.

Oh, I'm so sorry Coley! I know how you love your pets!
Oh, I'm so sorry. I am sure this is really hard on all of you. Kona was a beautiful dog and such a sweetheart. A dog is so much more than "just a dog" They really are like a member of your family.... makes me sad. Hang in there.
I had no idea! I'm sorry!
