I guess when we all start this journey – no  matter what we may say or tell each other, in the back of our mind we all wonder when we will be sitting at the keyboard typing these words….. Cooper my best friend in the whole world, mighty warrior of cancer has left on his own terms. Cooper was never a fast dog, he never was a noisy dog, he had a heart bigger than Texas and a gentle spirit like none other. But I have learned , that you do not have to be fast, or loud or mean spirited to be a mighty warrior. Cooper was the mightiest warrior ever. And Today  Cooper and I say… TO HELL WITH CANCER!! 

We heard The COUGH some 2 months ago, started out thinking it was allergies learned that it wasnt. Cooper never ever gave up living and loving, he never complained. The last 2 days Cooper declined rapidly – we put him on prednisone just 2 days ago. By last night at 10 pm we both felt that Cooper was not long for this world, in fact we now felt Cooper was starting to suffer where he had not appeared to at all in the past. We had made the decision that this morning I would likely get everyone started at work , then take Cooper to the vet and release him. I talked to Cooper shortly before we went to bed and held his beautiful head in my hands and yold him he could go if he needed to, that he didnt have to fight for us anymore. I prayed before I went to sleep that if were indeed time that God would let Cooper just slip away in his sleep. When we got up this morning… our warrior had left us. He had laid down at one of his favorite spots and went to sleep. It looks as though he went peacefully. Today my hero and Angels Comet and Fortis and Mackenzie and Trouble have met face to face, what a day for all of them, Cooper is so grateful as are we for your support during the 9 months of our journey. 

Goodbye sweet Cooper I love you with all of my heart!!

Goodnight my Dear Friend.

Sleep Well.

Love,

Isabelle
