Happy Birthday Copper

[Yeti_Girl]

Today Copper would have turned 5. I think I miss him more everyday, but I know today he's enjoying a romp at the beach and a big moon pie.

I made a video for him. I've been working on it for awhile now. Its kinda long (7 minutes). Thanks for watching.

Hugs to you today, Amy. It really will get a little easier...eventually.

Big hugs to you guys. I think Gryffin is taking him out for his birthday. They'll troll for chicks.

Happy Birthday Copper.
You lived such a big life in much too short a time here with us.

Thank you Amy and family for sharing him with us.

((hugs))

Wow, I view the video from the link here. What a fantastic job, Amy! The pics with Dylan really made me tear up.

You can tell Copper was very much loved and a happy, happy pup. Happy Birthday, Copper!

Beautiful video, Amy. ((Hugs))

Driving the girls to school (for their first day of 1st grade today), Vivi told me "I hate having epilepsy." I'm sure Copper felt the same way......

Oh Amy that was fabulous. Those pictures of him and Dylan just had me bawling. Its the special days that are the hardest. The big white Swissie is free tonight so that should be one heck of a party.

Happy Birthday Copper.
That was a really nice video Amy. I love that first song.

[Yeti_Girl]

Thanks everyone. I've almost made it through the day...

Tonight Dylan and I let a few balloons off into the sky for Copper to play with and had birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday. The DH is traveling so he missed out on the festivities.

Happy Birthday Copper, hope your hanging out on the big beach in the sky!


Amy, here is a poem that I thought fit well, big hugs for you and Dylan

The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
