Thanks Jerrys pack! I heard mom and dad talking about me earlier tonight and thats just what they were saying... just look where Cooper was two weeks ago and look at him now! Hard to believe its only 6 days from my first month ampuversary... in a way it all seems like it happened yesterday... what a blur this month has been! What perfect timing for getting back to normal though moving right into Thanksgiving with plenty to be thankful for and then right into Christmas to celebrate all our blessings at the end of this year and the birth of Jesus .... life is indeed good.

Thanks JoAnn and Tasha... we are indeed thankful for every additional day we have had with Cooper and the wonderful rebound in recovery he has had since our earloy scare with infection. He is truly an amazing guy and I wish that every single one of you could meet him in person, I have not met a living being that Cooper has not captured their heart.

What a happy boy!! Now comes the wait for his fur to grow back in! Chloe is at almost 4 months and her fur still hasn't fully grown in yet! And she doesn't have that long of hair...
Yay Coop, keep it up!

Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog

Cooper and family, Wahoo!
That was a great and easy vet appointment for Sam and a great milesstone for everyone. To me, it means that the first phase of kicking butt on cancer is over and we win! Congrats for Cooper doing so well and looking so well. Sammy says Coop's neck is not fat at all, and it looks just like Sammys so he aughta' know.
We just put up our Christmas decorations yesterday and in the early morning light with a christmas lights twinkling we are getting our first snow fall of the year, yay! I love Christmas.

Thanks for the advice Fortis Dad… but we aint afraid of no Monkeybutt! WHO YOU GONNA CALL??? MONKEYBUTT BUSTERS!!
All is well in Coops house. He looks 5 years younger, his incision is totally healed, he is walking good and doing great with the stairs, I believe he could go down and MAYBE up by himself, but a broken leg is not worth it, it is too small a task to always be there holding his harness, he really likes the ruff wear harness now that he has healed enough to use it. He wags his tail like crazy and shoves his head right into it when I bring it out. I guess I never told the group I actually found this group while searching for harnesses a few days before Coops first surgery. We knew Cooper was in pain with his leg, but had NO idea how much until his looks improved so much after surgery, he absolutely glows, it makes his mom and I very Happy!

Thanks Admin! Cooper and I are truly thankful this season for you and this pawesome group! We would have been lost without you! I would not have thought 2 weeks ago - that we would be enjoying talks here with all the great members! It looked like we would be pouring over the site for resources forever!
