Coco - Clare
Coco is a 12 year old Yorkshire terrier from County Clare. Coco came into my life in 2011 when I was just 9 years old. I was an only child and became quite lonely. My Mam knew I had always loved and wanted a dog so she decided to get me my own little best friend. Which is exactly what he's been the last 12 years.
Coco is loving, loyal, playful, and very protective. He loves to play with his toys (his ball especially) he loves listening to the hurling with me, chewing on my socks and having a juicy orange. Coco always seems to know when I'm having a hard day and exactly how to cheer me up. Whether that's by jumping up for a cuddle or by smothering me in kisses. He's so much more than just a dog - he's family.
Unfortunately Coco has faced some health problems this past year. He started losing his eyesight last August. He's completely blind in his right eye now. He was also diagnosed with epilepsy in January of this year and unfortunately suffers from focal seizures. He's adjusting well now with medication and nothing gets in his way from enjoying his favourite things in life.
He is still the same bubbly, playful dog he's always been. Coco deserves to be your Nose of Tralee 2024 because he is the most loyal dog I've ever known. He waits for me behind the door every time I leave the room and is so excited every time I come back in (even if I'm only gone for two minutes lol).
