RIP, sweet Koko! I hope you are with All Ball at the Rainbow Bridge.
RIP Koko.
Yay for Cole & Marmalade!
Yay for Cat parks! Dogs have parks all over the place. It’s about time the cats got something!
I love Marmalade’s wide set eyes. It make his ‘resting face’ seem to have a bewildered expression.
I actually teared up when I heard that Koko had passed. It would’ve been impossible to deny either her intelligence or her charm when she “demanded” tickles from Robin Williams. I feel so bad for Penny Patterson who worked with Koko nearly her entire life – she has to be just devastated.
I choked up yesterday over Koko, and now I’m crying like a baby after watching her with Robin Williams–two of my favorite fellow-travelers on this planet, both of whom made the world a better place.
Thank goodness for baby giraffes, reunited sloths, boomerang birds, cat parks, and especially Cole and Marmalade!
I, too, teared up over Koko’s passing and over the video of her with Robin Williams…such lovely interactions between them!
I hope Koko is surrounded by all those kitties over the Rainbrow Bridge now. *sniff*
