Coco Ubaldo - September 09, 2007 - December 02, 2023

Departed: 12/02/2023 (Dayton)

Obituary Preview: Cocopuff McFluffybritches, known simply as Coco, passed away gently in her mommy’s arms at 1:09 pm, Saturday, December 2, 2023, in Vandalia, Ohio, after a very short battle with acute rapid onset kidney failure.

Coco was a unique little dog who led an incredibly interesting life, unmatched even by most humans.

She was not supposed to have even happened, if not for an eager long-haired chihuahua who got too close to a female papillon too soon after being neutered. Coco was a surprise and a runt with asthma. A fateful late night Internet search put Coco’s life and her mommy Cynthia’s life on an amazing 16 year journey.

Coco was born September 9, 2007 in Pickerington, Ohio. She was the youngest of four siblings. She was adopted when she was ten weeks old and no bigger than a Guinea pig. Coco grew up in Columbus, Ohio and lived in Dayton, Ohio when her family moved in 2022.

As a puppy, Coco immediately took over as the tiny diva she was meant to be. Her Yorkie brother Kiwi and Calico sister Mango were no match for her bossiness. She was a born leader.

As Coco grew, her beauty was unmatched. Her long silky, chocolate coat, her big chihuahua ears with long papillon hair hanging almost to the floor, her fluffy papillon plume tail curled over her back, and her big brown chihuahua eyes, all in a five pound bundle of love.

Because Coco’s mom was an avid traveler and political activist, Coco got to experience things that most humans never do. She traveled on airplanes, trains, subways, trolleys, boats, cars, shuttles, buses, and taxis.

Coco traveled all over North America, from Canada to Mexico, from New York City to Washington DC to California and everywhere in between. She felt sandy beaches and the ocean on her toes, walked the halls of Congress, hiked through the Appalachian Trail and the Smoky Mountains, felt the spray of Niagara Falls on her face, swam in a lake, and she watched the sunrise on the east coast and the sunset on the west coast.

Coco was the ONLY dog to ever ride on the underground train of the Capitol Building in Washington DC between the Senate Chambers and House of Representatives. This was arranged by none other that Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ office after a meeting in his Senate office.

Coco was quite the political dog. She campaigned for Sen. Bernie Sanders during his presidential bids, attended the DNC Conventions in Philadelphia in 2016 and online in 2020 where she had a Zoom call with Pete Buttigeig. She sat on Ohio Sen. Rob Portman’s lap, was held by Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, received a pat on her head by President Bill Clinton, and so many more.

Coco met her share of celebrities too. She sat on Jerry Springer’s lap for an hour in a hotel lobby. She licked Rosy Perez’ face in a bathroom. She barked at Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly and wagged her tail at CNN’s Jake Tapper. She hung out with Mexican rock stars of the bands El Tri and Liran Roll.

Coco loved the spotlight. She craved it. Whether walking the halls of Congress or the aisles of Petsmart, Coco held her head high, tail wagging and prancing as only a tiny diva could.

At home, Coco was a fashion icon with a vast wardrobe for any occasion. She had ball gowns, sweaters, sundresses, scarves, and coats. She loved to pick out her own outfits when given the choice. Her favorite outfit was her sky blue sundress with pink ruffles and gold glitter that said “Shine Bright”. And that she did. Coco shown bright like a diamond.

Coco loved parties and presents. She was always excited to open or watch others open gifts. Mostly she loved the attention and outfits. Coco had a beautiful party for her quinceañera (15th birthday) and for her Sweet Sixteen. She loved Christmases and her birthdays.

Coco was a snuggly girl too. She loved to be carried around and held, or just sit on a warm lap. For 16 years, Coco slept every night between her mommy’s knees.

Coco will be greatly missed by her mommy Cynthia Cox Ubaldo, her Maine coon brother Pino Cox Ubaldo, her human brother Damian Roe, her Grandmother Bobby Cox Wilson, her aunts Sharon Inscho, Carolyn (Bob) Mathews and Terry Cox, her aunt Shanice Dorje-Chang, uncle Dwight Lamar Frazier, best friend maltipoo Lucy Lu Dorje-Chang, and numerous squirrel, bunny and bird buddies.

Coco is preceded in death by parakeet Tweety, mouse Gort, Pomeranian Misty Dawn, Maine coons Misha and Loca, calico Missy, tabby Nacho, yorkie Kiwi, calico Mango, and sugar glider Alejandro Lora.

A special thank you to Coco’s veterinarian Dr. Michael VerHage and the staff of Morse Road Veterinary Clinic in Columbus, Ohio for caring for Coco for 15 years and to the staff of Dixie Veterinary Clinic in Vandalia, Ohio for caring for her for this past year. Coco could not have asked for better medical care and health for aher entire long life.

On Coco’s final day, she felt the cool autumn breeze on her face as she always loved to stand facing into the wind. She was finally allowed to eat chocolate syrup, because all dogs should go to Heaven with chocolate on their breath. She gently went to sleep in her mommy’s loving arms with aunt Shanice and uncle Dwight by her side.

Matilda Boyd - October 25, 2013 - October 07, 2022

Departed: 10/07/2022 (Dayton)

Obituary Preview: Waltzing Matilda no more… 🐾 MERINDAH MATILDA 🐾 25 September 2013 - 7 October 2022 Today my best mate and fellow adventurer, Merindah Matilda crossed the Rainbow Bridge after a short battle with lymphoma. Matilda blessed our family for nearly 9 years and was named after the song, Waltzing Matilda. Her family and friends are heartbroken and I have a big hole in my heart and feel lost. She will be greatly missed by her cousin Hunter. 💔🐾

Miss Matilda was born in Cleveland Tennessee and crossed the bridge in Englewood Ohio. She was loved by so many and she made friends easy. She rescued me on ANZAC Day in April 2014 as a shy pound puppy, but did she blossom! Her most favourite thing to do was to play frisbee, go on walkies at the park, chase squirrels, but she really loved her car rides where she could hang her head out of the window. She was my true blue best mate in everything we did in life and she loved being in the kitchen helping me keep the floor clean while I cooked. Matilda loved to snuggle on the couch and on the bed. She loved everyone she met and they loved her. She definitely brightened my life greatly and she was so loyal and a great comfort to me when I grieved the loss of friends. Matilda was full of love and loved life.

Matilda my sweet darling girl, please find the others who have been loved by me when you get to heaven: Look for my childhood mate Rocky, and he will lead you to Tiny, Cassie, Sydney, Adelaide, and your feline mate, Milo. You will be welcomed home by all, I promise. As we discussed while you were so sick, I promise I will help another pound puppy and they will rescue me like you did nine years ago. You and I have travelled to 48 states and you have been the best mate and van dog anyone could ever wish for. Please get Rocky and Cassie to show you where the Frisbee & bone yard is and have a great time until I join you. Matilda, you were truly my very best mate and we have shared heaps of adventures together.

I was Matilda’s third owner by the time she was six months old in a pound, starting with little food but ended her life with an abundance of food in a loving environment full of adventure. Matilda, you made my life so much richer and my heart full while you were here with me. “Have You a dog in Heaven, Lord? Is there room for just one more? Cause my little dog died today;

She'll be waiting at Your door.

Please take her into Heaven, Lord.

And keep her there for me. Just feed her, pet her, love her Lord, That's all I ask of Thee.” -Unknown

Fly high my dear sweet girl and chase all the frisbees, rabbits and squirrels you see. You sure made friends easily and you will be so very much missed. Matilda, I will never forget you and will love you forever. Thank you for filling our hearts with so much love and happiness for so many years. We’ll see you on the other side. Happy trails to you my darling girl, until we meet again. 💔 Dogs don’t live as long as humans because they come here already knowing how to love everyone. I’ll be Waltzing Matilda no more… 😭💔 Love, Mum

PS: I’m absolutely shattered.

Ariel Stone - December 31, 2016 - January 13, 2022

Departed: 01/13/2022 (Dayton)

Obituary Preview: Ariel was a beautiful, loving, long-haired tortie girl who (for whatever reason) was abandoned in an East Dayton neighborhood. By the time we found each other, she had already been taken in by a TNR group and fixed, after which she was returned to a parking lot (where she was feeding off of garbage in dumpsters). On our second encounter, I finally coaxed her close enough to me where I was able to scoop her up in my arms and bring her home with me. She was so grateful, always giving so much love, thankful for finding a human who truly appreciated her and gave her the love and home that she truly deserved. I only wish that we could have had more time together. Obviously, I really miss her...but so thankful for the way-too-short time that we had with each other.

Departed: 11/15/2021 (Dayton)

Obituary Preview: Miss Daisy lost her battle to cancer unexpectedly at the age of 15 on November 15, 2021. She is now pain free and sitting next to God in doggie heaven.

Daisy was born sometime at the beginning of February in 2006. Her mommy, Danielle, and Mamaw Marce were looking for a small dog when they came across a very fluffy and tiny black female yorkipoo at a rescue farm. When Danielle saw her she instantly fell in love and in that moment, Daisy’s life began.

Her papaw Ron would call her the Hoover. Daisy had many nicknames such as Daisy girl, lil mama, princess, the queen, and Daisy May. She enjoyed car rides, her doggie beds, cuddling, chasing squirrels, barking at strangers, and playing with her brothers and sister, Ace, Blitzen, and Nova.

Daisy was loved by many people in her life. Her daddy, Chad, loved taking her on walks. He said she was the best walking companion he ever had. She was taken care of faithfully by her Mamaw and Papaw, Joan and Ron, the last few years of her life. She was her Mamaws baby girl and nightly snack buddy. She loved to be loved and she will be missed dearly by many, especially her mommy.

She is survived by her mommy and daddy, Danielle/Chad, her little human brothers, Luke/Toby, and her furbrother and sister, Blitzen/Nova. She is proceeded in death by her companion, Ace. Daisy was loved her entire life and she endured many cuddles with her family until she took her last breath. We will love and miss our sweet girl.

Abel Lee Willemsen - August 03, 2009 - May 23, 2021

Departed: 05/23/2021 (Dayton)

Obituary Preview: Abel Lee Willemsen August 3, 2009 - May 23, 2021

Welcomed home November of 2009 to his Mom, Kara and Dad, Sam. He is survived by his fur brother Cain who has been with him since day 1. Partners in crime of peeing all over the house when no one was looking. Big little fur brother Axel who he loved to antagonize. Fur cat sister Lucy and fur dog sister Charlotte. His human little brothers Bentley, Cash, and Denver. Abel loved his Mamaw Gina, especially curling up in her pillow at the end of the day. His R.L. fed him all his favorite foods and kept him warm under his blankets. Uncle Jared provided his quiet space away from the chaos. Grandma Joan let him chase all the squirrels until his little body couldn't chase anymore.

His Mom will miss the smell of his ears and the secret kisses he'd give her. He always knew when she needed him the most. His Dad will miss how he grunted when you rubbed his belly. You couldn't just lightly pet him, you had to rough house. He loved to find the tighest spot to sleep and would often have to be searched high and low for.

The Rainbow Bridge got a little brighter with Abel there. Until then, we will miss him every single second of every single day. He was more than a dog, he was our son, brother, grandpup, and best friend.
