Koa
A donation was made in memory of Koa by Doctors and Staff of the Chuckanut Valley Veterinary Clinic on Nov 16, 2010.
On behalf of my family, I first want to thank Chuckinut Valley Vet Clinic and Dr. Jack Searle and Vet Tech Wendy most for their care and compassion for our beloved Koa Man and also to us as a family. You all went above and beyond during those last days of our Koa's life. You all made him feel so special.
I never in my life thought that I would be so attached to a dog. But, I am and he won over my heart and also my husbands and my parents as well. This golden retriever was my dog child. Being that I didn't have children of my own he decided that I had given birth to him. He was my protector, my companion and my best friend. He pretty much was with me in most everything I did or everywhere I went. I was laid off in September of 2008 and for the next two years until July 26th 2010 he kept me company and was right there by my side while I was at the computer daily looking for work. Then in the afternoon he & I would sunder off for our walk at Camano State Park. He loved that place and I knew that is where he always wanted to be. Through car camping, back packing, he was always a willing participant in whatever endeavor we had planned. Opening his presents at Christmas was one of his most favorite. His grandpa & grandma (two of his other favorite people in the whole world) always made a big deal out of Christmas, wrapping each and everyone of his presents separately so he'd also have things to open during our Christmas's. He was a great singer, loved to hear his own voice and we too got a big kick out of watching. Words really can't express the sadness I feel in my heart. Our Koa Man was and always will be in my heart and I am so grateful for all the memories I have.
I wish I could find out why there is so much Cancer among our animals these days. I hope and pray for a cure.
That day when I found out he had a mass in his abdomen was the worst day in my life. The second is that Monday Morning we had to let him go to doggie heaven. After two weeks or more of him not wanting to come sleep in our bedroom it was time and he for sure had finally let us know in his own special way that he was ready, we weren't but he was and we had to let him go. "God, thank you for putting this golden retriever in our lives, he was such a blessing". For all of my family and friends we so appreciate those ten years we had with this: "one of a kind golden retriever "Koa Kai the Great". We loved you so much furry friend. March 8th 2000-July 26th 2010.
