Cooper, not good (final update last page)

[colliehauler]

The vet just called and Cooper might have oral cancer. They're send a sample up to K-state pathology to determine if it's cancer. Vet said he has massive bone loss in his head. Will no Friday if it's his auto immune disease or cancer.

I just lost Mikko in January and this hits me hard.

So sorry for your loss, Dan. You certainly loved him a lot and enough to end his pain. Thoughts and prayers.

I keep looking at my current dog sitting on on the floor looking at me. I think back to the 2 dogs that I had to take on their last truck ride and sit here with my eyes leaking. You will miss him but you have to remember that you gave him a loving home. It is best to let them go without putting them through hard times.
My current dog is a rescue from Kentucky and is a very loving mutt. Anyone who says that dogs don't love their people have never looked into the eyes of a dog when you get home after being gone for a while.

So sorry, Dan - even when you have a teeny bit of time to mentally prepare for it - it still doesn't make it break your heart any less. RIP, Cooper.....

Dan, we're so sorry for this turn of events. I know you did the right thing but that doesn't make it any easier. Cooper was well-loved and cared for by you. He's waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge.

I'm so sorry, Colliehauler. It's so hard, even when you know it's the right thing to do.

[dturm]

He's no longer suffering. Sorry for your loss.

[corgi-traveler]

Sorry for your loss.
Even when you know it's time, it's still so heartbreaking.
RIP Cooper.

[colliehauler]

Today I made the difficult decision to have Cooper put to sleep. Rest in peace Cooper.

His quality of life diminished rapidly.

[magnusfide]

Dan keeping you all in prayers.

Scottiemom I will take Sawyer when the time comes. Sawyer has become very attached to Cooper in the two months I've had him. Cooper has taught Sawyer so much in such a short time. Sawyer understands that Cooper doesn't feel well and is not pestering him.

I hope Sawyer's experience is much like Duchess's. She seemed to understand completely. I know she missed her friend terribly, but she knew she was gone and accepted that.
