I just went through a week from hell waiting for biopsy results on my dog. They are family, they bring us so much joy, and in the end they leave us much too soon. Luckily, my guy is OK. My heart goes out to you for your loss, but Cora's spirit, mixed with the baja spirit, will bring smiles to your faces forever. Via con dios Cora.:(

Paulina, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your good friend and companion Cora. May her spirit run free, chasing lizards with no fear of the dread cholla needles.

Paulina, sorry for the loss to you, Dern and Cody... I think we last saw Cora the day after the 2006 Baja 1000 when we came by for a visit... a great Baja loving dog, for sure!

All of us are so sorry Paulina. Stand on the good time memories during this time.
Duke is sad he didn't get a chance to hook up with one of his "Baja chicks". He's a sucker for blonds like most of us guys.

Paulina....we had to put Arlo down the day before you put Cora down. Bet those two are swapping fishing stories. I have tried to post this picture that was taken this year in San Roque, his last days of fishing. But its just not working. It is truly a very sad time.

Sorry about Cora.
And really bad news about Arlo - at least he had a last trip to the beach.

Paulina,

Gees, we hate these threads---the hurt we know you are feeling brings tears to both of us.

They never live long enough and are framily. Cora was a lucky girl to have the family she had. We hope she has as much fun at the Rainbow Bridge as she did in Baja.

Barb,
Arlo just did not look that old---so glad he got to enjoy your trip down here.

Just plain old sad for everyone.

Diane and John

I'm sad and sorry you've had to say goodbye to your faithful friend.

This is different than any other type of loss or grief that we experience in our lives, though it resonates with all of our losses.

I hope the outpouring of care, sympathy, & support, and this sharing of personal stories from friends and fellow Nomads helps to ease the pain and helps to fill that empty space in the boat, in the house, and in your hearts.

Paulina,
I've never met you or Cora before - but I feel the pain. Many of us have been through this. Nothing but time will get you past the sad feeling of loosing a companion like Cora. Our dog Shelby will be 15 years old on June 1st - so we know there's probably not too much time left - but she's doing well. We lost our dog Abby in 1992 and my wife, Audrey, wrote this poem.

ABBY

I've just lost a friend today,

Abby is her name.

The sparkle in her eyes
and the gleam in her face
was the reward I received
upon my returning feet.

I've just lost a friend today,

Abby is her name.

The true meaning of man's
best friend.

A warm bundle of fur upon
my skin, or those puppy-dog
eyes and that outstreatched paw,

Just to receive more loving was
all she ever wanted in return.

I've just lost a friend today,
Abby was her name.

Bob H

Paulina,
So sorry to hear about Cora. We all end up so attached to our pets, they become a big part of our family. Our Ginger is 16 years old and I don't even want to think about how hard it is going to be when she leaves us. Looks like Cora had a great life enjoying Baja. Lauri

Sincere Condolences


on the passing of your good girl.

Keri posted the rainbow bridge poem when we lost our very young Great Dane a few years ago. The sentiments comforted our family.

Since I saw your posting early this morning, this is the first time I could bring myself to open the topic.

Godspeed Cora.
