Seeking Home for 2 Family Dogs

[Sylvia Chaplin]

This email was forwarded to me by a friend, I can't take them because I recenty divorced and had to leave "my Buddy" with my Ex. because I couldn't find an apartment that allowed dogs. I thought if anyone could help, this would be the place.

ANY PET LOVERS LOOKING FOR TWO LABS?

Seeking Home for 2 Family Dogs- Two gorgeous labs trained - Cookie and Coco

We are moving overseas in just 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I have still not been able to find a good home for Cookie and Coco . We ' re not able to take our beloved doggies with us and I ' ve been desperately trying to find a home for both of them ' together ' . They were raised together and pine without each other. The Lab rescue have already said that they would probably separate them, so this is my last resort. Recently I tried to take Coco out in my car alone and she TOTALLY refused to even get into the car without Cookie......!!!! She absolutely pulled back on her haunches until Cookie was by her side.

Both doggies are in great health, have been spayed and have ID chips implanted under the skin.

Cookie turned 3 December 10th and Coco turned 3 April 1st. Cookie is my mellow-yellow, and just loves her tummy rubbed. Coco is adorably funny and lives for her "ball." She also loves the water...... Cookie loves lots of attention. Both doggies are loyal and love to walk.. They have been raised with my 3 kids running around all over the place, and have survived Sammy ' s constant hugging and love of ' dress-up ' , so they are fantastic family dogs.. This is by far one of the most difficult decisions I have ever had to make, but under the circumstances I have no choice.

Please, please forward these pics to all your friends. I want to find a great home for these fabulous doggies. They are just adorable and it ' s heartbreaking to let them go. In a perfect world, I hope that we could find someone local so that we can still keep in touch and visit them. I pray that someone, somewhere can help us keep Cookie and Coco together, and love them just as much as we do. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. [e-mail]

I know about the sites and do always check them. Because this didn't fit the description of a "hoax" I didn't think to check for this one. I see it's wasn't a hoax, since they have since fournd a home, so it looks like it was a true story. The problem here is that the email didn't stop floating around after a home was found. At least we know there was a happy ending to this story. Thank you all for your input!

if you go on www.snopes.com - it will track Urban Legends, Hoaxes, etc. These dogs found a home months ago - and variations of the e-mails still circulate...

I thought this was posted a while back and homes were found for them??????

I got this through my work few times awhile ago..... The lady who sent me was taking a psychology class, so I thought it was a part of her classroom asignment or something......

Isn't it amazing how this got passed around. The emails don't even state where the dogs are...it's a neat phenomenon in a way...but I wonder if that email is even valid or flooded with "how can I help?" emails. LOL

Sorry, after, I posted, I did call the friend who forwarded it to me and was told the same thing. I was going to check Snopes also, but then I got your response. I usually check with snopes b4 I post something, but this one didn't seem like it would fit. Believe it or not, this is the first time that I've seen this one! Thank you.

I can't believe this email is STILL floating around! This is no longer a true story...it used to be back in January, but both dogs found home shortly after the initial email campaign. Please write back to the folks who sent this to let them know it's now a false rumor. Here is the history from SNOPES.com : http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cookiecoco.asp
