It is with a heavy heart that I let you know that Cooper (AKA Alvin) has passed on. I had a local Vet come to my house and after she looked him over she determined that Cooper's heart was failing. So I made the decision to put him to rest. Cooper had slowed down considerably over the last few months. In the last week his belly had become bloated, he wasn’t very active or hungry, and at times he seemed very lost. I still can’t believe we had him for 9 wonderful years. I will always remember him as a beautiful southern gentleman. Attached are a few pictures from this last month.
