Cooper, first let me apologize to you. I have slacking (OK, my pawrents have been slacking) lately on commenting on stuff because of my Mommy's head problems. I have kept up on you, but have't commented the way I should. So, let me just say that you are doing great. You are a cutie, and we all know you will be here for a long, long time. I know how you feel about not wanting to share good news, but my friends here have always told me that everybody needs good news - no matter how bad things are. In fact, the good news here is what gets us through the bad news, so keep it up buddy and keep on being you.

Happy ampuversary, Cooper.
I understand the conflicting emotions about celebrating in light of all the recent tragedies, but Karen addressed that so beautifully.
I hope you have a spectacular day, Coop. Catie and Riley will be served EXTRA EXTRA treats today in your honour.
(And isn't that Spirit Comet cheeky - she can't stop flirting even from doggie heaven! )

Talk about conflicted Stooper Cooper, I feel so many different things I don't even know what to say, so I've just been eating stuff around the house. I got a little sick and had some runny poops, so I had my very first bath, but not until I wiped my butt on the living room carpet a couple of times after I came in and left a few good streaks. After I was all clean I decided to redesign another throw rug and finished the day by chewing the leg off this stuffy that my Pop gave to my Mom a long time ago before I was born. It was a E OR. I don't know what the other part of the "OR" is they never say OR What. Just E-OR. Sheesh, ya woulda thought I swallowed a Fabrege' egg or something. I thought she loved tripawds. I made 'er a tripawd. JEEZ make up your mind already.
I'm just a kid, SC, but I think everypawdy here wants to know all the news. I think your 3 month ampuversary is time for a big celebration. I hope my mom reads that you are a 3-monther so I get lots of treats and cookies and stuff. So. Yeah. I think it's okay to be happy about your milestone, because every day any tripawd beats the big C is another victory for all tripawds even the Angel, Spirit and Invisible ones. I mean, think about it...don't you think they are jumping around all happy about you up there in the schwimming hole? Angel Comet says they are, so they must be cause she's the boss of everpawdy. NYAGH!
the 3 months is a great ampuversary to celebrate, Congrats to you Cooper! We are very happy you are here to celebrate for 🙂

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
Happy 3 Month Ampuversary Coops! We just love to hear this good news.. We are celebrating with you and are so happy that you are doing so well!
And I love the Comet video - I have to say that it made me want to reach out and touch that pretty in pink comet girl even if her monkeybutt brother was bugging the crap out of her. So precious! Just like you Coopster...precious.
Here's wishing you many many more ampuversaries and celebrations!! Yea!! Coopster!!!

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!
