Jim's Cotons

It is with extreme sadness of heart that I announce the death of my beloved Cosette, today, June 26 , 2006 at 11:20 a.m. She was 15 years old. Born May 10, 1991 as Glycine of De Dutto in Rennes, France. My first female Coton de Tulear. It was love at first sight and continued until this day,15 years later. Inspired by the lead character in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, Cosette won the heart of everyone she met including her mate, Marius who is looking for her at this moment.

She deteriorated right before my eyes. She lost the use of her legs, could not eat, looked at me with those big, beautiful eyes of hers as if saying "HELP ME DADDY" so today, after spending a sleepless night with her injecting fluids into her weak body,I gave her her last bath, wrapped her in her favorite blanket, took her to the vets, a limp mass of Coton hair and body and helped to inject the serum that stopped her heart. She died with her eyes open, looking at me with those loving eyes as if saying "THANK YOU, DADDY" I am at peace.

She will always remain in my heart.
I LOVE AND MISS YOU MY COSETTE.
Jim
