Copper 2006 - 2010

Copper had to be put down last night after sustaining a spinal injury. I'm in disbelief and my heart is broken into a million pieces. He was my best friend and he loved me like no human could. He died in my arms at the Pet Hospital in Carrollton after one last truck ride with the window down. He blew a disc in his back after our daily walk as he was bounding up the stairs at our apartment and his legs went out from under him. The doctor said even with a very expensive surgery his chances of walking again were 50/50. He was brave although he was in a great deal of pain.

Copper loved everyone. He was a social creature and never met a stranger. People adored him, and his personality was delightful and friendly. He was so soft and cuddly. He enjoyed his squeaky toys, sleeping, his rubber Kong bone, licking plates clean, licking people's (especially Cody's) faces and doing his "wienernational" speed racing around the speedway that is the kitchen and living room. He was so full of life, and it's so hard to wrap my mind around him being gone. He was only 4. 


Copper is survived by his brothers Cody & Preston Moss, grandparents Joy and Richard Raney, his BFF Marco, roommates and BFF's Angela, Halloween, and Meisha. Many thanks to Angela for driving us in the wee hours of morning to the Pet Hospital, but I couldn't watch him suffer another minute. He had an adoring fan base at http://snow-lobster.com/copper/. I want to thank Kerri Fox and Lila for their special friendship with Copper.

Copper will be cremated and laid to rest in the communal pet cemetery in Carrollton, Tx.

Good-bye Copper. I loved you more than any dog I ever had. You were my greatest little man. You were proud and brave to the very end.

Love,
