Cole

With heavy hearts we’re posting another SEGSP alumni memorial.  Cole, formerly Colby from SC, has made his way to the Rainbow Bridge.  His mom Susan and dad Jorge are heartbroken and sent us this note to share…
 
“It has taken me a week to send this because we are still processing it, but we lost Cole (Colby) to brain cancer. His decline and diagnosis were severe and rapid.  We are somewhat still in shock, but thankful for the time we had with him.  Cole was our big, sweet, crazy guy and we miss him terribly. He was our ever-present Velcro pup and we genuinely loved him. We are thankful that we were able to make his last few years better than his first, and that we experienced his constant faithful companionship.  While we are still recovering from the loss of Mr. Cole (aka Papi Lop, Sweetie Pop, and Papi), we are grateful that we got to know this special guy. Rest in peace Sweetie Pop.” 
  
“There is a cycle of love and death that shapes the lives of those who choose to travel in the company of animals. It is a cycle unlike any other. To those who have never lived through its turnings and walked its rocky path, our willingness to give our hearts with full knowledge that they will be broken seems incomprehensible. Only we know how small a price we pay for what we receive; our grief, no matter how powerful it may be, is an insufficient measure of the joy we have been given.” Suzanne Clothier
