Coco Chanel

2014 - 2026

On June 7, 2026, my heart broke as I said goodbye to my sweet girl, Coco Chanel.

Coco Chanel was never "just a dog." She was my baby, my Velcro, my comfort, and my best friend for nearly twelve years. She was the first face I wanted to see when I came home and the one who could make even the hardest days feel a little lighter. She was my favorite hello and my hardest goodbye.

Anyone who knew Ms.Coco Chanel knew she had a personality all her own. She was sassy, stubborn when she wanted to be, and always convinced that the world revolved around her—and honestly, it did. She knew exactly how to get what she wanted, whether it was the best spot on the couch, extra attention, or one more treat.

Her greatest loves in life were simple: cuddling as close as possible to the people she loved, enjoying a good cheese stick or apple slice, going on car rides (and getting a pup cup), sunbathing. If there was a warm blanket to crawl under, a lap to curl up in, a sunny spot to sunbathe in, or a cheese stick or apple within reach to snack on, Coco was living her best life. She had a way of making every cuddle feel like she was saying, "This is where I belong."

For almost twelve years, she filled my life with unconditional love, laughter, companionship, and countless memories that I will treasure forever. She was there through life's changes, celebrations, heartbreaks, and ordinary days, making every moment better simply by being present.

The house feels quieter now, and there is an emptiness that only those who have loved a dog this deeply can understand. But I find comfort in knowing that Coco Chanel spent her life surrounded by love and that she knew, every single day, how cherished she was.

Thank you, Coco Chanel, for every cuddle, every tail wag, every kiss, and every moment of unconditional love. Thank you for choosing me to be your person.

You took a piece of my heart with you when you left, but you also left paw prints on it that will never fade.

Run free, sweet girl. May there be endless cheese sticks and apples, cozy blankets, and sunny spots waiting for you.

Forever my baby. Forever loved. Forever missed.
