Despite
the skilled efforts of the good folks at the UF Vet School, Mocha's valiant bout with a very aggressive cancer ended with her taking her last
breaths in Julie's and my arms.
|
 |
|
So begins the next phase of her
journey back to stardust. If there were any justice in the universe beings like Mocha
would live to be a hundred, still we feel honored to have shared 11
years with her.

In her brief romp on the planet Mocha brought light
and laughter to countless folks, from toddlers to elders, from Florida to
Maine. Mocha was fortunate to live on Lake Swan in Melrose, FL with her
two fairly well trained humans in a friendly neighborhood filled with
furry four legged friends of both the canine and feline persuasion. |
|
|
|
Mocha's motto in life was
"Everyone loves Mocha,"
and if they didn't they
would eventually. |
|
|
When she wasn't inspiring or co-writing songs, or
persuading mute Alzheimer's patients to chat with her, Mocha spent her
days napping, eating, cuddling, romping, swimming, floating on her raft
and running like the wind for the pure joy of it. |
|
|
|
We knew at the start
of our friendship we were headed for a slow motion collision with
heartbreak, so now there is a Mocha shaped hole in our universe and we
miss her deeply.
Thanks to all our friends for sharing photos and
stories to help us celebrate Mocha's life.
