Lars is love!

My wonderful, sweet, tender Coton, Lars, a Swedish import, died and I am devastated. He was 17 y.o. and it is difficult because I think he might have lived longer if some things had happened differently in his care. It is a long story but what I wouldn't give to be able to hug him one more time. The Coton is a heavenly gift...I am convinced God was with us as Lars shed his physical form and transitioned to his spiritual being. What a soft but feisty and beautiful being he was and the light of my life.

Thank you for sharing NEW
by: Susan

Hi, Dee. I can relate. I really want to have a Coton in our home but I want to make sure that I am ready. Our Cotons enrich our lives in unimaginable ways with their charming personalities. I do like other breeds of dogs but I think I will always be a Coton person. My home feels really empty without our sweet Lars who had kidney disease. His decline was very difficult for our family and we thought he would beat the illness because he had surprised us in the past. We worked really hard to help him for a very long time.

I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful Coton at age 17. Good to hear that you were able to get another baby. No dog can ever replace another. They are such individuals but we do have to heal from our loss and that is one way to heal.

Sympathy for your loss
by: Dee

I am truly sorry for your loss. My first Coton passed away in 2014 at the age if 17. I couldn't stay without another one even though another dog was not a replacement for him. (His name was Pacino) I now have another coton, Peppino (we call him Pepe) who is 5 years old and he is very lovable but yet extremely protective. He is a joy and definitely a mama's boy.
Again, I am very sorry and I wish you well.

I just want express my appreciation for your compassionate posts regarding Lars. He transitioned on June 20, 2019, a perfect day that was all part of the Plan I don't want to say that Lars died because I believe we will reunite some day. Each day my grief seems to lessen but still comes in waves. It is a lot to process the loss of his physical presence. He did teach me the gentle art of love and even though he was fairly quiet (our other Coton was not quiet and actually was quite upset when we brought Lars into our family), he did communicate in very sweet ways. He got his messages across to me in very endearing ways. My heart is heavy with grief but as we all know as Coton parents, we are richly blessed with the presence of our Cotons. Today, I made a donation in memory of Lars to a foundation that does research in homeopathic medicine for animals. My next step will be to create a place of remembrance and a diary of our time together.

I'm so sorry NEW
by: Anonymous

I'm so sorry to hear about Lars. I understand how devastated you must be. We lost our Bichon in February 2018 at the age of 18 and were inconsolable. It took us almost a year to even begin thinking about having another dog in our home. We now have a Coton puppy, Finley, and he has helped to heal our hearts. We love him so much, but we will never forget our little Cody. When we brought our little Coton home, I held him in my lap and told him all about our boy who is waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge, but promised to love him and give him a forever home just like we gave our first baby. Your hurt will lessen, but you will always love and remember Lars.
