Update
Aloha Silvie,
I’m so thrilled to let you know that CoCo Beanie’s Muffin’s Halo arrived today and it’s a big hit. She took to it right away and was bumping into things with no worry as to hurting herself. The little energizer bunny never stops but with the Halo it seems she has a new sense of freedom without the fear of getting hurt.
I cannot thank you and the very generous donors enough for this precious gift. CoCo Beanie says “Mahalo Nui Loa” which is thank you very much in Hawaiian.
I took a few pics and hopefully they all come through. If they’re too big I’ll send in separate emails.
Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are very grateful for your generosity.
Keep the sunny side up!
Janene & CoCo Beanie
Backstory
CoCo came to us at 7 months old as a neglected puppy. She wasn’t in great condition and wasn’t cared for properly. She was scared of everything including my husband and myself. I worked with her, encouraged her, took her to dog obedience training and she became my best buddy. She went from a wall flower to a social butterfly; always happy and wagging her tail. Through all the ups and downs with her health she was always a trooper. Then 4 years ago she developed secondary glaucoma and 3-1/2 years ago had her first eye removed with a prognosis that eventually she would lose her other eye as well. In an attempt to preserve her vision as long as possible, we diligently administered the myriad of prescribed eye drops 3 times a day. Initially the doctors had told us she would lose her second eye within a year of the first. As the first year passed we got hopeful she might keep it. After the second year we became even more hopeful and thought maybe the doc’s were wrong. Of course, our luck ran out earlier this year and we lost the battle. She has done remarkably well adjusting to navigating a 2 story house but still bumps her noggin daily. One of these halos would help her significantly from bumping into things. Every time she hits an object hard it breaks my heart to see her get hurt; especially when she lets out a little cry. If CoCo is selected for one of your Muffin’s Halos she will be eternally grateful… as will we, her parents.
