and the welcome mat was laid out just for this silly puppy of mine

"Every morning when we are on Provo, my doberman and I go for a nice long walk down Grace Bay Beach. On one such morning, in late May 2005, I noticed a little potcake and her mom on the beach.  The puppy, (who we later named Coco) was about 4 months old. I had noticed the mother hanging around on the beach at Beaches Resort for over a month. She looked to be about 2 years old and had already had a few litters. Then, one day I saw little Coco following behind her, trying to keep up. She appeared to have a problem with one of her hips. I knew it was not a great place for them and I feared for both Coco and her mother. I returned home with both of them on my mind, and lo and behold they knew my thoughts and found my house 1 1/2 miles away and simply moved in. 

 Since the mother was going into heat again, I had her spayed, and notified the TCSPCA that I was caring for these lovely potcakes, who were so well behaved and people oriented, that they needed to be saved. 

The TCSPCA came through and found a home in New Hampshire with a beautiful family and 32 acres …. an island girls delight!.  It was terribly hard for us to give up Coco, she was such a little silly joy to have around. Making piles here, and piles there, and playing with all my Dobies toys and ruling the roost. Despite her hip being out of line, and too late to put it back in, she ran around like a whirling dervish, and up the stairs and down, nothing would get in her way. 

Thanks to the love and open heart of this great family in New Hampshire, as well as the families who helped with the trip, Coco is now enjoying green meadows in the summer and fresh snow in the winter as well as the love of family life.”
