| RIP my little "Cooper" man Many of you have read my yearlog updates on Cooper and his illness. Unfortunately after months of treatment, Cooper crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday morning. He may have had a short little life, but together we created 17 months of lifelong memories. I am sharing with you a letter sent to family and friends yesterday morning: "Dear Friends and family: Unexpectedly last night, Cooper took a turn for the worst and let me know in his sweet and kind way that it was time to go. He got into his little bag as if to say he was ready, and together we spent the night side by side. I promised him a nice long walk in the morning if he should change his mind, but he never did and so, together we went to the hospital. Dr B., (my amazing vet) and I spent quite some time discussing the alternative, which was to "flush" his kidneys temporarily, but agreed that he was in pain and even doing so, would not guarantee he would get any better. Dr. B. couldn't have been any more compassionate - walking me thru every step of the way as we cried together. Sweet little Cooper went into Acute Renal Failure and was put to sleep early this morning surrounded by me, Dr. B. and much of the staff at the Animal Hospital who showered him with love and kisses before it was time to go. I am grateful that it happened as quickly as it did, and believe that until last night he was not in any pain. He played with his friends up until last week and just last night stole a piece of turkey as it fell off the counter. Many of you know that his special diet restricted protein, so a wonderful friend said this morning....Karen...he must have thought at that moment - "I have died and gone to heaven". I am sad, but at the same time relieved as I know that by now he has worked his way over the rainbow bridge, has found Bentley and the two of them are sharing a bone in the sun...probably comparing notes. I hope they realize how much i loved them both and how much joy they, in return, brought me. Love, Karen" Thank you all for your support and encouragement over the last year. |

| I am so very sorry for your loss. I was crying as I was reading this. I know that Cooper is playing with all the other dogs, and eating all the turkey and chicken that he can handle.

| My heart is breaking for you. Cooper was a very special little guy to let you know it was time and not leave that decision up to you. He was so lucky to have had you for his mommy. Sleep warmly and safely, little one.
