And, YES, I did buy her a dress. Only because Delaney made me.

I don’t even know how or where to start. This dog has been with me through so much. She’s as much as a part of our family as Delaney is, except she has ALOT more hair (believe me, I have to Swiffer EVERY.DAY.) In fact, I have always said that Cooper was a good dog…
Awww…I’m so sorry! I don’t know that I have any advice. I lost my beloved Samantha to cancer several years back and it was hard to say goodbye. I kept telling her not to be scared but I wasn’t sure if it that was more for me than her. She always seemed to be the one comforting me even when she could barely walk anymore. Just love Cooper the way you’re doing…that’s what she knows and loves.
Thanks B, your comment made my cry more (in a good way). You’re right – Cooper only knows what we have always done. Just SO hard.
I’m soooo very sorry Kim. I know how much you love Cooper. Stay strong!
Oh my precious Coop-de-ville! You are so very loved! Kim, you have been nothing but the best mommy to her! Keep giving her lots of lovin!
Kim, seriously my heart just aches for all of you. My sweet “Baby” girl was sick with CHF for a long time and the vet would tell us it could be “any time now”. I had her from the time I was 20 yrs old until age 32. I can totally relate to you saying how Cooper has been with you through so much. Totally. I lived in constant fear that it could be Baby’s time any day. My advice, like others have said, is just to keep loving her just as you have been. I want to say, do not dwell on it as I did, but I know easier said then done. Please take comfort in the fact that she is so loved and so well taken care of. So many animals do not have that and your Cooper has the greatest family ever. She has an amazing beautiful life and feels your love. I wish I had some great advice or mostly just a way to comfort you. I’m thinking about you. xo
Oh Kim! I’m shocked and sorry to read this….especially now as I was just comforting Emlyn who is still crying over the loss of our cool-but-somewhat-aloof cat, Geppetto. I love Petto but she wasn’t quite the family member that I know Cooper has been for you. As B said, just love her the way you have been and enjoy this time and take lots of pics. Hugs to you both.
Poor Cooper! While I am sure that it will be tough on her, she will probably be very strong for you, Dave and Delaney! Loyal pets like Coop are special and teach us much. If there is anything you can take from this, it is that you do have more time to love her and comfort her.
My heart goes out to you all.
Kim,Sorry to hear that Cooper is ill.I wish I had good advice.
We had to put Wyatt to sleep this spring and had the vet come here to do it,he went to sleep quietly in the back yard.
I knew a couple of days in advance when it was going to be.On his final day I loaded him in the truck,got him a pack of marrow bones and made the rounds to all his favorite stops.Lumber yard ,friends and so on,I didn’t tell anyone what I was doing because I would have come apart,just wore shades and made his last day a good one.The next day was one of the worst in my memory and I still miss him every day.He was a difficult dog and I guess that’s why he and I had such a bond,we understood each other.
It was much harder on us than on Wyatt,dogs are just happy to be with their people and don’t know future and past tense and are not afraid of the great beyond like humans are.You have made her as happy as she has made you,she is a lucky dog and you are lucky to have had her.Dave
i just wanted to leave u a hug. Just play with her, take her to the beach. give her love. and a safe home.
Oooh, we’re so sorry – Cooper probably just wants you to do exactly what you are doing, lot’s of love and treats, and no doubt “Garson” Delaney will give him all her love. Cooper is so unconditional with his love, and he is so gracious to let Sierra run all over the yard with his ball, she will never forget him.
If it helps, I don’t think that brain tumors cause pain – that is what took my dad and apparently he didn’t have any pain. We totally spoiled him after his diagnosis too, so keep spoiling Cooper, he totally deserves it.
We love you guys,
Lil & Stephen & Sierra
Oh Kim….I JUST read this now!!! Oh wow…I’m so sorry! However do I break the news to Cooper’s first friend, who also turned 10 this year…Sammie!!? 
I remember the one year party like it was yesterday…Sammie getting in there for the cake! ha ha! Dogs are wonderful companions full of unconditional love. We dread the day we lose Sammie, but know she is getting older and slower. Keep giving Coop lots of love and kisses. My sister went and bought her doggie a Burger King cheeseburger the day she had to put him down…a very small gesture, but why the hell not!!!?? Thinking of you girl!
Sorry kim. He was a cool little cat. I will miss him in the morning. He was the only one that would get up early with me. Cooper doesn’t get up with me anymore.
So sorry Kim. Go out today and buy yourself and your family the children’s book titled, “Cat Heaven”. It will make you feel better. I promise. My kids still read it and remember our kitty, Cheerio.
I am so sorry, Kim:(
Awwww….I’m so sorry to hear this. Big hugs to you. 
Love you, Kim! Hugs, S
Oh no:( I am so sorry, Kim.

I can’t stop laughing!!!! She’s like “Seriously?? Couldn’t you have chosen chiffon instead of COTTON??”
