My Sweet Cooper.
My sweet, wonderful dog Cooper passed away unexpectedly last night.He had a seizure and kept having them and they couldn't stop them, and
they couldn't save him. He is the best thing that ever happened to me
in my whole life - I rescued him and he rescued me. I love him so dearly and
have never felt such loss. There's just a big hole in me and I can't believe he isn't
here. Just look at his beautiful, shining happy smile. He was very, very special
and loved by many people. I'm going to need some time to process this, but will
be back in a day or so. I'm going to need to have y'all to look forward to.
I love you, Coop. Always, always will.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 380 of 380poor baby cooper, so sorry victoria. you gave him a wonderful life and your pain and loss are felt in my heart as well.
I just stumbled upon your blog tonight and I am so sorry to hear about the unexpected loss of Cooper. We had the exact same thing happen with our Lady some years back. After Lady came Shelby who we lost to old age a year and a half ago. Now we have Sophie...a seven year old rescue dog. I always console myself with the knowledge that there's always another homeless animal out there needing a loving home. We adopted Sophie in honor of Shelby and we adopted Shelby in honor of Lady. You'll never forget Cooper, but you'll know when the time is right. It sounds like you have a lot of love to give. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I'm so sorry to hear that you lost Cooper. It's so sad when we lose our loved companions. I don't know what to say other than that I'm sending you good thoughts.
I'm so sorry! It hurts so much to lose your best friend.
Just remember: you are entitled to unreasonable ice cream binges and unscheduled sob sessions. Let yourself grieve.
My heart goes out to you.
Sorry to hear about your dog.
My condolences - it it not easy to have such a loss...

victoria, i think cooper must have been one of the most priceless things you ever found on craigslist ... and most valuable too.
i pray that you will remember him fondly and always think of the blessed time you spent together!
take care and much love sent your way!
Youll see him again Victoria, he's not in any pain now. Take care.
Victoria,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Cooper. I have been a long-time reader of your blog and know what he meant to you. May you find peace in knowing what a wonderful life you gave him. He is at peace now. May you find it too very soon.
Take care of yourself,
Mary in Seattle
Poor Thing...... Poor You =(
Oh...I am SO sorry Victoria. I completely understand and am so sorry for you losing your dear,sweet Cooper.

I too lost a sweet old boy earlier this year. I am so sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to lose a four legged best friend. It still hurts when I think of him but I don't think I ever want to stop hurting because I don't want to forget him.
I love the story of how you and Cooper found each other. We like to say that we rescue animals but really it's them that rescue us whether we realize it or not. As long as you think of him and remember him he's never far from you.
Take care.
i'm sorry for your loss.
I’m so sad to hear about your loss Victoria. I know I’d be inconsolable if my dog passed away – they truly are the most loving friends a girl can have. Take care x
victoria, i'm so sorry to hear about cooper. warm hugs, warm teas and quiet moments to you... i know what it feels like to lose a precious dog (or fish), and it's certainly not nice. God bless... xxoxx, drey
hye...sorry to hear that your dog had passed away...
Oh my god Victoria, I am so sorry and sad for you. I always picture you two together, exploring, thrifting, walking. You are in my thoughts.
Hi Victoria, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Just adding my voice to everyone elses who has said how sorry they are at this sad news. I haven't been reading your blog for long and must admit that I thought the Coop you referred to in your posts was your boyfriend. I guess that says a lot about the love and affection between the two of you.
Feeling for you.
Heather
I'm so sorry you lost your sweet friend.
So sorry to hear about your loss, Victoria...Take care

oh victoria, i'm so so sorry. i can't imagine how you must feel. i always loved reading about your sweet pup. you're in my thoughts...
I am sorry to hear about your dog.
It must have been difficult for you. You are not alone. I know exactly what it feels like to have a beloved pet pass away. Last month, my one year old Anole passed away during the night. I found him dead early the next morning. I was a wreck. I don't think I have ever cried so many tears over an animal, as I did over that sweet, adorable, Hazel eyed, lizard. I had named him after the foreign teenager on 'That 70's show'. Anyway love, peace be with you during this difficult time. If you'd like some cheering up, I encourage you to view my blog (and all my embarrassing moments) at-

I'm so sorry Victoria, I know how much you loved your Cooper. From what your wrote he was the perfect companion. Take care.
There's really nothing I can add to all of these, except...
I'm sorry too.
Hi! I'm really sorry to read about your loss. When you lose a friend, you gain at least two - just count the number of comments on your post!
I'm sorry to hear you lost your dog a few days ago. I know it can be very difficult; especially when they've been apart of your life for so long. I lost my dog over the summer, his name was Beethoven. At least now they're in doggy heaven.
Our pets are precious to us and become one of the family. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss of Cooper. I want you to know that you are in my prayers...
Beautiful boy.
life is full of pleasure and sorrow.specially when we lost someone specail in life,it really hurts us. but we shud also think about them who jst gone frm our wrld .had u ever thought about him?,how he ws felling in DOG'S life.Whether he was happy in life of a dog.
life is predetermined , no one can change time and FORM of life.
he knows ,he got more pleasure than whot he was earlier. may he wl gt new life may be in diffrn form,may be in human, flies, birds..etc;tht we dont know. better u pray for his better life rather than thinkn about his past and sweet memory.
IN life we must ready for each good and bad thing,which cud occour in anytime. be bold, be happy,,,,,,think 4 new,,,,,,let GOD decide 4 him......u can jst pray for him.....
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I can't imagine what you must be feeling. My dog is to me, what Cooper was, and will always be, to you. All I can offer in support is, "Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same." I know it refers to humans, but sometimes our pets can be more human to us than other people are.
Victoria - I am so sorry, I sobbed harder than my children when we lost our last dog. Our thoughts are with you today. Take care.
My thoughts are with you - I'm very sorry for your loss.
That unconditional, uncomplicated love you get from a dog is irreplacable. I am so sorry Cooper is gone. Everyone knows these days that dogs are family, so I hope you take all the time you need to grieve. People will understand.
I am so sorry to hear about this. You are in my thoughts.
I am so sorry for your loss. Sending peace and prayers from Savannah, Georgia.
I've been reading your blog for a while now, and I had to tell you just how very sorry I am. Words really fail us during these times, but please know that we're all thinking of you and your sweet, loving boy.
-Claudia
I'm so sorry about the loss of your dear, dear friend.
I am so, so sorry! I know how I felt when my Greyhound Willie passed. My heart aches for you, and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so, so sorry. Seeing your devastating news has made one girl in Nebraska cry and cradle her dog close. You have all my love and sorrow this morning and in days to come.
I'm so sorry to hear the news. I know how painful it can be to lose such a wonderful companion. I'm praying for you to find consolation.
i'm so sorry too. i'm sending you love, prayer and a good vibe.
So sorry sfgirl. Take care. This community is pulling for you.
My thoughts are with you. So sorry for your loss.
So sorry.
My heart goes out to you. Hugs.
Victoria, my heart just aches for you. I cant imagine the loss, I'm hugely attached to my dog. I'll say a prayer for you today, I know you will come through this.
I've just read all of your archives (it took me 3 days - all during work) and I finally got up to the present. I'm so sorry to hear about Cooper. Big hug!
Thoughts and prayers going out to you for the loss of your friend. I am glad you have such a cute picture.
so so sorry victoria.
hang in there, v - he will continue to be there...
my heart hurts for you, victoria. dogs like coop make the world a better place. wishing you peace today and in the days to come.
Watching an animal uncontrollably suffer is so, so horrible. Take care of yourself - this is the first time I've commented on your wonderful blog - good-bye sweet puppy.
I can't imagine your loss. Dog's have an incredible way of completing us and bringing us more joy than we can imagine. I hope that you are able to process this and reflect on all the good memories over the weekend.
Oh, I just read about your loss...I am soooo sorry. He is so handsome and reminds me of my rescued Henry. Its amazing and a huge blessing to have that one doggie that thinks the world of you, forgives in a second and is excited every time you walk into the room...what love. Hugs to you and those that were blessed to know Cooper.
I'm so sorry. My heart is aching for you. Sending hugs and prayers.
So Sorry, I lost my Porter unexpectedly a month ago
it is so hard to explain what I felt...it hurt..so many people say so many things....truth is rest a while, laugh at his silly ways and he will be with you..

Animals bring such joy into our lives and they fill a big spot in our hearts. We lost our cat of 17 years this January and I just feel so awful for you. I am glad you had Coop in your life and he had you. :)xo
i am so sorry..... i know just how you feel. maybe when you're up to it, check out "the tenth good thing about Barney" by Judith Viorst and Erik Blegvad. hugs to you & Cooper
I am so sorry for your loss
My 6 year old schnauzer Huck slipped out of the house on Tuesday and was killed by a car. I understand how devastating this can be. The constant waves of anxiety and tightness in my chest are incredible. There is no one to bargain with, to change things. I am so sorry for your loss. Dogs are magnificent. I want to stop crying, but my heart aches. My thoughts are with you. -Kendall
victoria i am so so sorry. the suddenness of it all is wretched and i am so sorry to have heard about this so late. my thoughts are with you and hoping that you find some solace in the days to come.
hugs to you
susan
animal love lives forever.
i'm so sorry to hear about your loss. losing a pet is always hard, especially when it's sudden. take care.
Victoria -- I'm so, so sorry. While many of us know the depth of your loss, the memory of our own pain is still so different from the terrible first weeks of grief you face now. It's a powerful love and must be followed, naturally, by a powerful sadness. I hope you are being comforted and held and taken care of a little . . .
oh, i just teared up at this... i've been there and it's like losing a family member. my heart goes out to you! take care of yourself...
cassandra
so sorry for your loss. my family lost our dog, toby, yesterday as well. it has left our hearts filled with sadness and feeling empty. it's hard to accept that he is no longer with us.
Oh, I'm so so sorry to hear this. Losing a pet is so difficult and he looks like a wonderful dog and companion. We'll be here for you when you're ready to come back.
xo frangrit
Victoria NO!
I'm very sad to hear about your loss. Really sad. I know how much you loved your dear friend. I don't know what to say that hasn't been said already except that I wanted to leave a comment with a little virtual hug for you today {{{victoria}}}
-Holly
Such sad news ... I know what it's like having lost my own dear Tigger quite recently. But looking at the number of responses you've gotten to this post, I'd say both you and Cooper are dearly loved and although he is gone, he will always be remember and you've got a wonderful network to support you and who are awaiting your return!
My thoughts are with you. I am so sorry for your loss.
So so sorry to hear that. My dog means the world to me as well and I can only imagine the pain you are feeling. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
My condolences for your loss, I know how hard loosing a dog can be.
Aw, I am so so sorry, Victoria. Cooper wore a tie well. A friend's pet passed away last week. She likes to think that he 'graduated'. This made us both share a sad smile.
I'm thinking of you and so sorry for your loss. Knowing what you must be going through. Devastating never seems to fully describe the huge hole that a loved creature leaves when they go. so very sorry
Victoria, I'm so sorry for your loss... you must be heartbroken. My thoughts are with you.
{sending you an online hug from Amsterdam}
I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I can't imagine what I'd do without my dog. I hope you are okay.
J.
I was so sad to hear about Coop. Your huge love for him came thru everytime you mentioned him here. Also the photos show a very, very loved dog and I'm quite sure he knew just how much you loved him.
so so sorry to hear about this...he was a lucky guy to have found a friend like you. I know how much this hurts when it happens... Take care of yourself.
Hey, one of my close friends' dog actually just passed away recently as well in the same manner. We took him to the hospital following the seizures and the whole family was there and the kids were crying to see him go. I was taking care of their dog for about a week while they went on vacation and couldn't believe how close I got to the dog in just a few days. So I can't imagine how you feel.
I'm so sorry for your loss. He looks like such a dear old soul. My heart goes out to you.

We are so very sorry to hear your news. Our dog Bosun is so very special to. He's getting on in years & we're dreading the day. Are thoughts are with you.
I am so, so sorry to hear this news -- I know how devastating losing a dog can be.
Take care of yourself, Victoria, and know that we're all thinking of you.
I am so sorry to hear about Coop. He looks like a very special friend. My thoughts are with you. Take lots of good care of yourself.
Oh what horrible news - and all the more awful in that it was unexpected.
Look after yourself...
I am so unbelieveably sorry, Victoria. I CAN'T and and the same time, I think I CAN imagine how heartbroken you are. I hope the well wishes and love you are feeling from everyone help you through this hard time.
so sorry victoria ,this makes me very sad. pets are like family, each unique and irreplaceable. the same thing happened to a friend of mine with her cat recently. *hugs*
i am so sorry for your loss. =[ cooper looks like a sweetheart. you'll be in my prayers.
I'm so sorry. I hope this special community you have created can help you through this terrible time. Thinking of you.
So terribly sorry to hear this sad news!
I'm a big fan of your blog and felt like I knew Cooper myself. my beloved cat died recently so I understand and feel your pain. you will be sad for a while and you will miss him terribly but the many memories you have of your time together will live on. I'm so sorry for your loss.
i am so sorry for your loss. cooper looks like such a sweet, happy, adorable guy.
i've been a fan of your blog for a while now and wish you the best (and look forward to meeting you at ladies biz night).

just wanted to add my voice of condolences. i cannot and am terrified of imagining how this would feel.
I'm so sorry. It's so hard, I know.
:( I know he had the most awesome life with you! Hang in there my dear.
I am so sorry Victoria for your loss, here's a big hug from Seattle.
Amy
oh my heart aches for you - I am soooo sorry. hugs.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss, Victoria. I can tell from your posts how much you love him. Take as much time as you need. We'll be here to welcome you back when you are ready.
I'm so, so sorry Victoria.
so sorry for your loss. he looks like a wonderful, loving friend and i can tell that he will be missed. take comfort in the fact that he will live on in your heart and memories. my thoughts are with you.
so sorry for your loss. my thoughts are with you.
I am so sorry for your loss! I went throught the same thing 3 years ago. There are books on Amazon that discuss pet loss and various support groups. My heart is
with you. Pam from Memphis
I am so sorry! He looks like such a sweetie.
My heart goes out to you. I always enjoyed reading your many mentions of Coop and it was clear that he meant the world to you.
I am giving a hug to my sweet dog Lillie in his honour. Know that you have many people sending healing thoughts your way...and please take all the time away that you need.
I am so sorry for the sudden loss of your Cooper. What a beautiful picture of him. Something to always cherish along with the memories.
What terrible news. You must be devastated. Please be kind to yourself during this difficult time. My very best thoughts are with you. The loss of a beloved pet is so hard.
My deepest sympathies. New reader.. but a real pet lover. Do take care.
Soo many comments :)
Just read your blog and tell you to hang in there. I lost my dog 4 days back, a beautiful golden brown lab that I have had for 11 years. It was very hard, his liver failed, I tried mt best but there was nothing that I could do and it hurt so bad. It still hurts, nothing that anybody says can make you feel better, but I just take it that his time with me is up and now he's in a better place. It would have been harder if I had to see him suffer every day cause he had practically become a vegetable. So hang in there only time will heal your wounds. I run a tech blog, check it out.
Victoria, delurking to send you my condolences during this difficult time.
i can't tell you all enough how much your comments have helped me through today and yesterday. i am so grateful to you all for your stories, your wisdom, love and prayers. i'm taking this minute, by minute, but i have to say i am so moved by this response.
all my love and thanks,
victoria
I really feel for you! It so hard to loose a friend, it makes you want to close up and never love again. It's so much risk. But then, you do, and amazing! your heart grows that much to let in someone again.
My heart aches for you Victoria. I'm so sorry.
Also, my little marcel says, "I really love pets and I'm so sorry your dog died."
that is soo sad iam so sorry! my cat has sezuries we all think she is going to die soon she is 17! but it is so sad to hear that it happened to someone else
I was just browsing various blogs and I happened across yours and saw your post about Cooper. I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a 14 year old dog who has been there through it all for me, and every day I'm fearful that his time is running short, I don't know what I'll do with myself when he goes. It sounds like you loved Cooper very much. And that he deserved it, too. Hugs

May peace be with you. There is not much I can say to make you feel better except there are many people who care about you while you feel desperate and alone. Yes, your heart is heavy. Please do not deny yourself the time to grieve. We will be here waiting, believing in you. Allow time to heal your heart. I lost a pet to seizures and it is the worst feeling in the world; you helpless in making them feel better and fixing what is hurting them. Hold onto those happy thoughts and memories that you gave Cooper the best life and love you could ever give. Look at old photos and use positive visualization to erase the nightmare images. We are here for you with much love and adoration.
Sincerely- Jeen-Marie
I'm so sorry for your loss!

I am so so so sorry to hear about your loss. I know how hard it is to lose your best friend, and it is very painful. My thoughts and prayers are with you and sending you lots of hugs, even though I don't know you. I read your blog every morning and I love it. It gives me inspiration and I just want you to know that love never dies, no matter the circumstances.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. What a sweet guy he must have been.
Victoria,
I'm so sorry to hear this, one of our dogs passed a fews years ago I undertand your loss. I'll keep you in my thoughts today. All the best~ Robyn
So sorry for the loss of your dear companion.
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your beautiful dog. My dogs are like my children and I have a knot in my stomach just thinking about how I would feel by losing one of them. You are in my thoughts.
Dear Victoria,
So, so, so sorry for your loss. I don't know you and never knew dear Cooper, but from your posts and photos he seems like he was very loved by you. Take care of yourself. It will get better; give it some time.
Liz (from Philly)
Sfgrl. Jasper seems like a loyal, loving pet. And as a dog lover myself I can see where your coming from. Peace and Love from Florida.

I am so sorry for your loss. All of us our thinking of you.

I don't think I could live without pets, they are truly a gift for the soul.
I'm sorry you lost such a dear sweet dog.
Sincerely,

that was so lovely ! he will be happy!
Oh, my heart just hurts for you... I cried when I read your post. Cooper really did have a loving happy face. Take care and I'll be thinking happy thoughts for you to be feeling less sad soon.
-Allie in San Jose
As a dog-lover, I can hardly imagine anything sadder. I'm so sorry for your loss.
What a tragic loss of such a wonderful friend. I was especially saddened when I saw Cooper's photo because he looks so much like our dog Boss. Phil, my paralyzed life partner, views Boss as his best buddy. Bless you, Victoria. We send you love from Kenosha, Wisconsin. Bill Hetland & Phil Anderson

I am so sorry for your loss, it makes my heart ache. I have a rescue too and she is a blessing...Char from Oregon
Such a dear dear boy. Your loss is great. grieving with you, we all are.
I am so sorry. I cried when I read this on Designsponge and I cried here. I loved your mentions of Coop now and then. A dog is such a great partner as they always know when you need to be loved. My thoughts are with you.
A friend once told me, "Dogs are sinless creatures." So true. They just have such beautiful souls, the kind that is rare among humans.
I'm glad two such beautiful souls found each other and I'm so sorry about your loss.
-Leah in TN
I have never commented before but I have been reading here awhile so I felt like I knew Cooper. Saying I am sorry doesn't begin to come close as there aren't words to express even the loss I feel just knowing him from afar. My dog of five years, Max (also rescued) passed away suddenly due to a tumor on his heart last year, and I remember feeling like someone ripped my heart out of my chest at first, but that suffocating pain I felt back then did ease and the warm memories are stronger than the hurt today, if that even makes sense. I am sorry to ramble on, I was just so blown away and I had to say thank you for letting me get to know Cooper.
I've been there and it hurts. When the time is right you'll find another friend to save, and to be saved by.
Rescue dogs are the best, and Coop loved you more than you can ever imagine because of it.
Sorry for your loss.
Chris
Like others here, I've been enjoying your blog for a while and never commented, but reading about Cooper (who I always enjoyed seeing for his happy, griffy smile) forced me to. I'm so very sorry that he's gone. He was obviously a well-loved, special dog. I know your heart is breaking, it happens to all of us who've known the boundless love of an animal, so take good care of yourself and take comfort that he knew you did the very best for him.
I am so sorry. :(
i'm so sorry for your loss, especially for it to come unexpectedly like that. My dog is named Cooper as well and I don't know what I would do if I woke up tomorrow and he was gone.
victoria,
so truly sorry... no other words...
Sorry to hear :(
hey!
I'm so sorry to hear this... I've gone through the same and perfectly understand the deep feeling of loss and uncomfortable as a part of my body missing...
Time will help you, time will bring out every happy memory of Coop healing the pain.
Be strong, Coop would be so sad to see you suffering from up there...he wants a smile from you.
a warm hug.
Julie
so so sorry for your loss. thinking of you.
my thoughts are with you.....so sorry.
My heart just aches for you and I do know that pain. There is nothing like a four legged child that loves unconditionally. Cooper will be waiting for you when it's your time to cross the bridge but for now he is in God's Garden waiting and playing with the other beloved pets waiting for their master's. Memories will heal the heart over time. ~ hugs ~
My heart goes out to you as you grieve the loss of your beloved companion pet. The complete unconditional love we receive from our dear pets is a difficult loss to navigate. The only way I could get over my grief was to get a new puppy to love. Not everyone is able to introduce a new pet quickly, but it did relieve the very real pain I was experiencing. I think your photograph of Cooper is ever so sweet. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sorry for your loss, I know what you are going through. He's in a good place and is waiting for you to show up one day so try and think positive although it's hard.
Victoria, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and Cooper. May his sweet soul rest in peace. Love, Tarina
I'm so sorry that you lost a true companion. My thoughts are with you and will be thinking of you this week.
I am so sorry for your loss and know just what you're going through. Check out Rainbowsbridge.com.
You are not alone!!!!
Peace,

As a "mom" to two 15-year-old silky terriers, I know that one day soon I will probably be in your shoes, and I dread it.
There are no words... you have my deepest sympathy. I know nothing will ever replace your baby, but please know that memories of happy times will help ease the loss. I'm sure you have many of those memories.
Cooper was lucky to have you.
Blessings from Florida.

I haven't commented on your site before but when I read about your dog Cooper I have to send you a great big hug. I have experience this on 3 occasions. Please know the love you shared will continue on.(forever) Time will heal ...feel ,remember and love. xo Shay

I'm so sorry for your loss. My own Lynnie is sick now, and I am facing the same thing soon.
It's just the worst feeling in the world. Take care and know that others are thinking of you/
peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. I recently rescued a black lab, and just the thought of losing him is so painful, I cannot imaging what it must have felt like.
That's so terrible. I often worry about losing my 10 year old Boston Terrier mix...so I cuddle up next to him on the couch and try to breathe in each moment to make sure that I always remember him. How he smells, how he feels, and how he looks at me. I know it's hard, but thankfully you have many wonderful memories and photos to help you keep him near.
I am so sorry to hear about Cooper. It's such sad news. I loved when he made it into your posts. My thoughts are with you during this tough time.
SO SAD, he WAS SUCH A CUTIE!
I lost a few dogs from rescues in the past....i have two now that i love dearly....and dont look forward to that DARK day. im sure wherever he is, he misses you just as much and hopes to see you again someday.

I as so sorry. I know how hard it is to lose a pet and it doesn't sound like you had much time to get used to the idea before it happened. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Joan Baez sang "Old Blue" years ago. It's haunting and consoling. I would recommend you listen to her sing it.
Here are the lyrics:
Well, I had an old dog and his name was Blue,
Had an old dog and his name was Blue.
Had an old dog and his name was Blue...
Betcha five dollars he's a good dog too...
"Here old Blue"
"Good dog you"
Well, I shouldered my axe and I tooted my horn,
Went to find 'possum in the new-grown corn.
Old Blue treed and I went to see,
Blue had 'possum up a tall oak tree.
Mmm, boy I roast'd 'possum, nice and brown,
Sweet po-ta-toes, n' all a-round...
And to say "Here old Blue (here-boy)
You can have some too"
Now, Old Blue died and he died so hard,
Shook the ground in my back-yard.
Dug his grave with a silver spade,
Lowered him down with a link of chain.
Ev-er-y link I did call his name...
Singing "Here…old...Blue-ue...
"Good dog you"
Now, when I get to heaven, first thing I'll do.
When I get to heaven, first thing 'awm do.
When I get to heaven first thing I'll do,
Pull out my horn and call old Blue...
I'll say, "Here Old Blue come-on dog"
"Good dog you."
I'll say, "Here Blue-e"
"I'm a coming there too"
"You good dog you"
Victoria, I'm so sorry for your loss.
I love that you said, "I rescued him and he rescued me." It's amazing, this bond we have with our pets, isn't it? May you find comfort knowing Cooper will always be with you. No matter what.
Ditto. Dogs rescue you from the everyday things that can bring you down. Stumbled upon your blog and hope you are holding up OK. My pup is only three and I can not even begin to contemplate losing her. In Maori, we would say "Kia Kaha" which means "Be strong".
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your in my thoughts!
omgosh i am soo sorry i totally feel for you my dog was just taken away from me i never got to say goodbye i never knew what happened to him and i loved him soo much. but i hope you get through this well and i hope that you will be happy for him out of the pain he was in. :)
It's so hard when you don't get a chance to say goodbye. I'm so so sorry for your loss. He seems like he was such a fun doggie with a great personality. Best wishes.
So sorry to read this, hug, SY

Oh Victoria, I am arriving a little late to say I am soooo sorry. I've just discovered your blog and couldn't resist leaving another word of support.
I've recently lost my beloved dog Sharon, and I will certainly send a prayer for Sharon to watch over Cooper in Doggie's Heaven (she's a Rottie, will do a good job!!).
You are the only one who can make Cooper live forever through your memories. Wish you the very best.
Dear Victoria -
I just read about Cooper's passing and I am so very sorry for your loss. Loving a dog is a profound gift and nothing will ever replace that magical bond. But I hope that somehow each day gets a little easier. I am thinking of you.
Hey I saw this blog entry and it made me think of you + Cooper. I had a similarly sad loss of my cat Josie last year and it is good to hear about others' experiences. Love your blog! Kitty in NYC
