Cooper you have been there for Sony and I through good times like our biking trip around the west and all the hikes and Skiing trips since then. You have made life better during the hard times always happy to see us with unconditional love. Your are the best judge of charicter that I know (who would have guessed Mark and Doug were such bad people?). I PROMISE to take you for more walks and play with you as offten as I can. You deserve every minute of it!
For those of you that don't know Cooper suffered 5 major seizures yesterday. The first he was when I came home from lunch and had gone inside to check on Sony we heard something in the yard and saw him laying on the ground we ran out and when sony touched him he jumped up and freaked out bearing he teeth and foaming at the mouth, he was barking really furoshusly it was really scary he didn't know who we were. once I got him to calm down he realized who I was and was his loving self but really scared. we went back inside and about 10 min later he went down again. It was really hard to watch! we rushed him to the vet were he had 2 more. It took them 4 doses of Viciden to calm him down, and then more drugs to finally get him to sleep. we took him home 3 hours later he was still hardly able to walk because of the drugs but seems to be shaping up, and hasn't had another seizure since yesterday. The vet tested him for anti-freeze and that came back negative so we are waiting for the blood tests to come back which should be later today. To be honest it I hope it is something that can be fixed with a few drugs because cooper is only 6 and has lots of healthy years left with us. Unfortunately it could also be a brain tumer which is some thing that drugs can help with and he may live for quite some time but who knows. We are just waiting and keeping our hopes up for now. so any one with some prayers left sent them Coopers way he needs as much as we can give him!
WE LOVE YOU COOPER!
