Coco, the toy poodle, held herself in. She tiptoed around things. She did not allow herself the luxury of spontaneity, only anxious anticipation.
That is, until she met her Mama and Papa, who only needed one look at her to realise that love and patience were what was needed.
So, they held the space for her, a space filled with gentle encouragement, a judgment free zone, and found authentic joy every day in Coco being Coco. They knew Coco did not need fixing, nor did she need training. The magic happened, and one day, it was as if Coco had stepped out of her shell and started living.
Unexpected noises and new experiences no longer fazed her. Coco knew where the centre of her universe was. She was gentle, she was calm, and she had enough love and devotion for several lifetimes. The high point of her life was being present at her Mama's & Papa's wedding, and she made sure she leapt in to kiss the bride .... and groom. 🥰
Coco, crossed the rainbow bridge a year ago but she lives as a hidden smile in the corner of her Mama's mouth. A cherished memory of all that is good and wonderful in this world. Run free dearest Coco, go with all our love. 🙏🌈
