Mom’s doctor told Mom that she had to have Coco boarded for a very long time, we’re talking weeks. Sigh.. so I hooked up with my good friend Shannon. Thankfully everything worked out so that Coco could stay with Shannon. However Coco had never stayed at a home before. We were happy she did not have to say in a metal cage as Coco called it last time, but we now realize that Coco did have adjusting to do….

 

Coco said, Coco said, hurry up – what’s with you keeping me waiting while you sit in a trance? No, just kidding, Coco understands you are into some kind of meditative thing. Enough with the small talk, now the big important stuff- Coco’s latest adventure, adoption, foster care. Coco is not sure on the title or label for what has happened since we last communicated. Mom had me at what Coco falsely believed was Coco’s home while the Mother Coco thought was Coco’s fed Coco with real love and care. Big mystery solved , make believe Mother was feeding Coco to alleviate Mom’s guilt because Coco was soon to be dropped off , given away, disposed of- Then car ride, yeah, Coco thinks happy! Unaware Coco has Mom and Coco driving the highway to hell. Let’s get out and visit this nice lady- oh really Coco already has the feeling of dread. Of course Coco’s angel is not alerting Coco to any danger. Just happy go lucky angel on some cosmic ride with my Mom to—- Now Coco has been abducted by someone Coco thought was Coco’s forever Mom. This house of horrors has other animals AND a man in it too. The lady Shannon, Auntie.. Mommy, murderer, who knows, yet appears to be pleasant. Coco is heartbroken. Shannon is not feeding me the myriad of treats that might help soothe Coco’s sadness. Coco feels like throwing Coco into a wall. Angels FILL Coco’s new residence so many angels, so maybe these angels can or be more alert than Coco’s angel. Coco is adjusting or surviving. Coco does like the man and lady. A mommy and daddy they seem to have many other pets here with Coco but they are also kind to Coco. Guess who stopped by for a visit? The woman I thought was Mom. Coco was going to be aloof but Coco’s heart betrayed Coco just like Mom and Coco was happy to see her. Coco played and kisses for Mom but Coco needed to get back to Coco’s new life until Coco knows where Coco will be living. It was nice that Mom dropped by with Coco’s food and some affection. Mom is still in that boot/foot thing.

Ok, after listening to two pages worth (think you owe Candy a tip this time:) Candy told Coco, Ok, Coco now listen up- you are only VISITING with Shannon. She is NOT your new Mommy.  You have your forever Mommy but because her foot isn’t healing she needs to have more bed rest. Forever Mommy misses you so much and she chose Shannon because she wanted her precious Coco to be in a wonderful home away from home until Mom can bring you back home to Coco’s home. No kennel, no cage for Coco because forever Mommy wants Coco to know how loved Coco is. Coco, you behave and watch your tongue because your forever Mom never gave you away or ever considered giving you to anyone. Coco you are Arlene’s baby and she loves you.Coco feels much better now that you  have clarified things in a frightened mind. People remember Coco is just a small Coco trying to be the best so Mom will be proud. Ok, Coco’s gotta run, things to do…
