It is with a
broken heart that I write to tell you that Cooper passed away.
The vet thinks he had boxer cardiomyopathy, which is a
hidden heart condition that strikes many healthy boxers suddenly.
We are in shock and trying to remember the good times, but it is very,
very hard right now. He was the
love of my life - the first animal I ever had that was truly "my
own". He taught me how to love with my whole heart and was truly like a
son to me in so many ways. I am so blessed to have had the time that I
did with him, although as always, it is never enough.
For all the children that came to my home for lessons that loved him, he
loved them even more. He would get so excited when they would come, that
he would regularly open the door with his nose to the
guest room (a trick
that I did not teach him!), break out and run to give them kisses! Thanks
to all that loved him and were so kind and gentle with him. I know you
will miss him as much as I do, and the house will seem so strange without
him peering over the baby gate, listening to the singing, as he loved to
do.
We are trying to take comfort in the fact that he is reunited with his
love, Cheyenne, once more and that they are up to their old tricks
together.
With love,
Lisa and Diron
