We are saddened by the sudden passing of our beloved dog Mocha. We loved to call her Mokey and she responds to both names, wagging her tail wildly as she approached us. We always joked remembering how she and the wife immediately bonded when we picked her up from a backyard kennel.

Mocha liked to cuddle up close to us and appreciated a good scratch or rub.

This is her bored look. This is also her tired look (e.g., after a long walk). And also her exasperated look (i.e., when we're not giving her attention).

Mocha always sleeps like this anywhere she is at our home. They say it shows that she knows she is in a safe place and trusts those around her. She is survived by three of her children who remain with us. All three are mixed and fathered by Boots during the pandemic. We had Boots and the 2 other male dogs 'fixed' after that.

This is Mocha with her 'partner' Boots, a maltipoo given to us by a good friend. These two were partners in crime, so to speak. Boots misses Mocha and seems to be looking for her. I imagine he probably thinks she's at the vet or somewhere and will be returning home soon.

Mocha during her younger days.

Mocha and our daughter practically grew up together. They played together, walked together and goofed around together. Mocha survived a tumor that we had surgically removed almost a year ago. We had thought that she would live longer than our former lab Troy but it was not to be. Though we weren't able to bring her to the vet (who were also surprised by her sudden passing) after her demise, we suspected that perhaps she had a heart attack or a stroke. There were no signs that she would pass last Monday. I was sorry that I was not able to walk with her one last time or give her the scratches and massages that she liked so much. She will definitely be remembered.
