Cooper was a handsome flashy fawn boxer with personality plus. He was the bravest, most courageous, strongest, most loving, affectionate, loyal, protective and fun loving male boxer we ever had. Cooper was our "HERO".....Cooper was a "CHAMPION.....C ooper was loved
dearly and loved back with all he had....Cooper took some of our best parts with him---I don't
know if we'll ever be the same without him.
Jean and I were with him when he left for the Rainbow Bridge, it was as if he waited for Jean to get home (to take him back to Canasota for the colonoscopy) before he let go and Let God.
We held him, touched him, kissed him goodbye, so did Mark and Sasha (Marisa saw him before she left this morning).
Dr. Bookbinder was notified by his office and called us from his vacation. He assured us Coop was not suffering---when he saw him on Sat Coop's nubby was wagging and he was his normal,
happy self. Coop gave it everything he had---God had work for him to do that just couldn't be done by any other flashy fawn boxer. The only thing Dr B thought was something bigger than we knew or could fight attacking Coop (intestinal cancer a possibility that may have showed up on the colonoscopy.) Nothing else, not the biopsies, lab work, x-Rays that all came back normal. Cooper and his family were blessed to have such a compassionate and loving Dr/and his staff there to care for Coop. Dr Bookbinder gave us almost a month's extra time with Cooper that we wouldn't have had without his hard work and love.
Thank you for your good thoughts, good energy, prayers and the support you gave us when we were focused on Cooper and doing whatever it took to make him healthy again. We sincerely appreciate your caring, kindness and love. Cooper heard every message and knew how much everyone wished him to get well ----we read him every message and know he was really happy to have such wonderful friends all over the globe thinking of him and us. God Bless you all.
Elaine, Jean, Mark and Marisa
