Gabby "Monkey Girl" Cook

Gabby was born on September 20, 2014, and passed away on September 21,2019.

The world would be a better place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog.

My monkey girl was the absolute sweetest; she turned any bad day into a good day. She loved being outside and loved to squash bugs. She would be outside flipping her whole body around killing bugs. Her favorite place to go was Starbucks where she loved to get a puppuccino.  (We wouldn’t tell her brothers and sisters, but she always got two and would bring them one home lol).  She always knew when it was time to sneak out the house to go somewhere.  She would meet me in the garage so no one else would go with us.

During the holidays, she loved going to Pet Smart where every year we would buy them out of their "puppy chicken legs."  She loved them as much as she loved her food (she had to keep her figure up lol).  When I cooked, she had to have her chair next to me at the stove, then would sit in my lap while we ate.  She absolutely loved her chili crackers.

I would sing “ m.o.n.k.e.y mouse my monkey mouse" to her every day.  She learned how to throw a fit, and every night before bed I would tell her to, "throw a fit," and she would start kicking those little legs throwing her fit. She slept in between her daddy and me every night, and she always made sure she kissed us good night. She was such a sweet baby and she is truly missed!  She owned my heart, and she knew she did, and she will always own my heart. I would tell her a 100 times a day, "I love you more than all the rain drops in the whole entire world."  She was Daddy’s heart and Mama's world.  I will forever love my monkey girl!
