Cooper was the kind of dog everyone wants. Gentle, calm and just a solid part of our family.   Anyone who met him loved him because he was just such a sweet old soul.

This morning, he passed away unexpectedly.  We had noticed he wasn’t himself this morning – he vomited up his breakfast and was very wobbly on his legs.  But we had no idea how sick he must have been.  True to his gentle nature, I have to wonder how much he hid from us – he wouldn’t have wanted us to fuss.

A big hole is going to be left in our home.  He was a teacher for the puppies that came into our home.  We loved taking him hiking and camping.

Rest in Peace sweet Cooper man.  We love you
