      No. You are wrong to stop talking about your dear friend, Cooper. He is still very much a part of you because he is living in your heart with feelings of love and in your mind with many wonderful and cherished memories. Talk about him and who cares if anybody listens! If they think you're a crazy old coot, just keep talking about Cooper and put them in the same category as Margo's thoughtless owners. Who, by the way, must feel some guilt and denial about their stupidity and the new dog is just icing it all over for them. Like too many people, they think pets are disposable. Keep talking and reliving the memories, and how about telling them to the new puppy? Remember it is not his fault that he is now yours, but he feels and knows that something is wrong with your relationship. How do you know that Cooper didn't send the new puppy to you to cheer you up? That pup has no intention of replacing Cooper, he just wants a chance to love you. Over 9 million dogs and cats are euthanized every year in the US, and for the grace of God, the puppy wasn't one of those. You said you rescued Cooper, so you are a kind soul. Us animal lovers just have to accept that there are a lot of really stupid people out there that don't get it about animals. We can teach them by the way we live our lives and treat our pets. Have you considered making a donation to your local shelter in Cooper's name? Why not make a scrapbook of pictures of the two of you sharing good times? Think how empty your life would have been if Cooper was not in it! What a blessing! Look at the man he made of you! A very kind and considerate one, I know. I share your loss and sorrow, but I celebrate your dear friend. Tell your kids if something happen to them, you'll just go and adopt a new child!...just kiddin'... Help them to understand the bond you held with Cooper. They will understand one day. God bless you. You are in my prayers. What did you name the pup? =^..^=

      From myfelines October 25

      Hello! I just felt compelled to tell you to remember that YOU are a very caring person who shared "one heart" with your "Special FRIEND." We all do understand what you are going through here,and we know how very difficult it is! How I wish EVERYONE felt the way we do. Our fur babies are just so special. I lost my "baby girl" the end of April and I can tell you life has been changed completely for me.I love and miss her desperately! I know that your love for Cooper will always be with you. Like myself and the rest of us here, our love for them is so very deep and it often cannot be understood by everyone.I've learned to keep alot inside and it's not easy.There are many people who just have "pets" for their convenience.My heart goes out to ALL those "babies" who loved and gave of themselves to their human family's but were just thought of as replaceable! To me it speaks volumes about how shallow and heartless they are as "People." Our fur babies really teach us so much!! I hope you are ok as you can be- do let me know how things are going. I'll say a prayer- Hugs**Myfelines

      Just wanted to drop you a line.. hope youre doing okay, I know how hard it is , I dont say day to day but moment to moment , I know just how quickly things can change, just like you I have another new baby here with me and i love him very much, it doesnt diminish the pain I feel over my Giz , that I know I never will get over, its so difficult I know, I cry daily and now I worry because its cold out and Giz hated the cold and the snow. So even though I have this new little boy my heart belongs to my Giz but theres room for Bailey and any other animal that needed a safe haven , I owe that to my Giz , he was abused by his breeder and he was so afraid of everything , had never even walked on a floor, he ate and peed in a crate piled on top of four others and if I listened to all the specialists that said dont buy from a breeder you suspect is running a puppy mill I would have never had my Giz who just changed my life so much, I love him so very much as I know you love your Copper, I just hope youre doing okay

      From 9xthemantis October 2

      I know exactly how you feel,grambodei, as I feel just like that about my beloved "Razor". Ihad to let him go last Dec. 18th, after being with me for 15 years. He was there for me through 3 failed marriages, the loss of my health, job, home- everything & yet all he wanted was to be by my side. So many days when I felt I couldn't even get up, he would encourage me until finally I would & he'd be so happy. All of his love & companionship was so unconditional. He, like me, was very emotional & sensitive! It killed me when he finally started going downhill, but he would still force himself to make me walk with him, as he knew with my back in the condition it is, I needed to. There is not a day that goes by that I don't cry for him, still...I only wish that I could've gone with him. No other pet or person could possibly take his place- I DO know how you feel, God bless you, John
