| It was a dark and stormy night...� No, really, the weather was awful the night that we found Cocoa in a ditch by the side of the road.� It was sleeting and nasty as only February can be, and this poor scraggly looking dog limped up and said, "I really need a friend."� Cocoa went from being a throw-away dog to the proud holder of 3 obedience titles, a rally title, 18 agility titles (and many partial titles), and a Canine Good Citizen certificate.� Cocoa was also the #1 Labrador Retriever in AKC Novice Standard and AKC Novice Jumpers with Weaves agility for the year 2000, as ranked by "Front and Finish."� Cocoa is now running agility courses of his own design, consisting mainly of jumps and A-frames, at the Rainbow Bridge. |
