Back at the ranch, Mattie's mom begins searching the yellowpages for psychiatrists: making plans to go in to deep therapy....for a very very long time. Cybil (Sybil??) comes to mind.

I think it is time. When you start to carry on conversations with yourself and your alter ego, it is definitely time.
If you disappear for a bit, we'll know they kept you!

Hey Coops Dad,
I love the video. When I saw him hop around the corner it brought tears to my eyes. He, for just a second, looked so much like Sammy. Then when he started down the stairs I was amazed. I don't know if Sammy can do stairs, we don't have but one going outside. It looks very challenging. Sammy runs up and down hills, but that is different.
Way to go Cooper, I am really impressed!

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
cooper, you are 'da man'!!!! very impressive - very inspirational!!! keep up the good work.
charon & gayle
Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.
Love Never Ends
Elizabeth and Sammy,
Thanks for the words of encouragement. It wasnt too long ago that Coopsmom and I thought our beloved Cooper was destined to spend the rest of his days lying on our landing. I am so happy that he has the strength to do what he is doing! Amazingly enough - the muscle he is building since the loss of his leg is actaully being benificial to him in many other ways.\

Cooper, tell your dad to stop liking the monkeydogs! All they need is a cigar in their monkeymouths and they'd be 'Triumph, the insulting comic dog' from the Conan show!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
ewwwwww that just did it I think.... my dad doesnt like Triumph OR Conan for that matter!!

Hey Stoopid Coopid,
What's the BCS selection show? My mom and pop are watching the Steeler/Raven game. My mumma loves the Steelers, so does my Pop. Except mom is mad at something called Broths in Burger. Sounds pretty tasty to me. Go figure.
PS. Yeah. Ignore all of those nicey nicey posts from me...They were really from my mom. I still think you suck.
Mattie
Cooper - that was so awesome to see you going down the stairs so stealth like!! You are way cool!! 
I remember when Mackenzie first starting going up and down the stairs - momentus occasions - I thought I was seeing a miracle. It really does bring tears to your eyes when your tripawd can accomplish that huge challenge. Now Mackenzie hops up and down the stairs like a real pro and I'm sure that Cooper will get there too very soon. Way to go Cooper!!!
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
Thanks Mackenzies mom! I know what you mean about teary eyes I dont think I have had so many tears in all my life - but at least for now they are tears of happiness not sadness!

Hey Mattie Monkeyfart - I mean Monkey face,
It is the Bowl Championship Series selection show where they pick where all the college football teams are going to play. I dont get it much - all I know is every year in September my dad starts watching some nosiy show every Saturday where they run around and throw a ball and tackle each other - and he screams and hollers and throws big fits. LAST year they made me celebrate New Years without them because THEY dumped me at my human sisters house while THEY galavanted off to Florida to sit in some Bowl of Oranges or something. Dad was real happy when they came home 9 days later - he didnt smell like oranges so I dont know..... but this year the team is going to be in some Bowl of Insight - mom and dad arent going though - it makes no sense to me. Oh I guess I have talked too much now though... forgot who I was talking to for a minute... you better go get your shovel and broom ! bahahahahahaaaa!!@
