My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I've had Coco since she was 8 weeks old. She had a litter of puppies when she was 3 years old, and was spayed after. One of the pups was sickly so we kept him. Throughout the years she's continued to mother him. It's very sweet. She knows he's hers, and that he isn't all there. As he's aged, his allergies have gotten worse resulting in frequent ear infections. Momma Coco will not stop licking his ears. We've tried everything, including elizabethan collars on both him and her. Bottom line is that nothing deters her from licking his ears. His ear infections are now raging and Momma gets upset when she can't be with him. Our vet has suggested we rehome Momma. It kills us to have to choose between the 2 of them!
She's in perfect health. She has lots of energy but loves nothing more than snuggling next to you. The absolute sweetest thing she does is lick my tears if I'm crying. She has a precious mother's heart.
