Cooper crossed the rainbow bridge

[Paulette & Cooper]

Cooper crossed the rainbow bridge peacefully the other night, Wednesday Dec. 21, 2016 at 8:30pm at home in his own comfy bed surrounded by his family: Doodle Daddy, Mommy and brother Marc who's 18 years old. Cooper lived for 7 1/2 years and 13 days in human years and 52 dog years!  Yes, a full happy doodle life!!  He was loved by so many people and dogs and has done so much good in such a short time.  We went on vacations with Cooper to San Francisco, Sonoma, San Diego, LA, Maine, Boston, Connecticut, PA, MD, VA and West VA. He even went on a mini cruise in Delaware. He was a real trooper! I'm lost without him on my side. He was my shadow. He was with me everywhere I went. One thing we know for sure is that Cooper will live on in our hearts forever. 

Thank you all so very much for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers this last few days. We're very grateful for all the kind words, words of wisdom, and most of all being a part of this wonderful doodle community.  We're grieving the loss of our sweet boy but we're happy that we have found new friends in all of you. It's very comforting to know that this family of doodle parents and siblings understands and empathizes with what we're going through. Still, there's no denying our hearts are shattered into pieces and it hurts so much! Our home feels empty.

So sad for your family. I know that feeling of loss. It's so painful. We lost a very beloved pup who was 14. We'd had him since he was a baby. But you are wise in focusing on his wonderful happy life. If only all dogs were so loved and treasured as Cooper. Hugs and blessings to your family.
