I can tell by the photo that Coop was a great dog with an amazing personality. I’ll be thinking good thoughts about him.

oh dear! that is sad news.

That is so sad… Victoria, my thoughts are with you. Your pup seems like an amazing mate.

thank you grace for posting such a happy poster, he looks like he had a blast.

xo everyone for your kind thoughts, xo

I will be crushed when it comes time for my own little guy to leave me. I can only imagine how Victoria is feeling right now. Stay strong!

Oh.. that’s sad. My thoughts are with her too. Losing a pet is never easy. Condolences all around.

my heart goes out to her, it IS loosing a family member

so very sorry to hear.
dogs are family members…

A native american once told my boyfriend that they believe the reason why dogs are granted such short lives is because dogs naturally have so much goodness, purity, loyalty and love innately instilled in them that they cannot better themselves in life. They don’t need as much time here like us because well there’s not much room for improvement. I’m probably not relaying the info as beautifully as she did but I believe she is right in every way. I’d take a dog over a human any day of the week.

Victoria: My heart goes out to you and you family. He was a beautiful dog.

I have never met Coop but I still teared up at my desk reading Victoria’s post this morning. He was very loved.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

i’m so sorry to hear about coop. all of my love to victoria. the fields of fort mason will miss the pattering of coops paw prints :(

I’m very sorry for Victoria. I can imagine how heartbreaking it is. A pet is such a member of the family. So sorry.

I’m so sorry for your loss Victoria. May you find comfort in cherished memories, peace in knowing that you made each other’s lives wonderful, and healing in time.

so sad….my heart goes out to victoria as well…so kind of you to post that awesome photo of Cooper. What a sweet looking dog. I know he will be missed terribly.

I fear for the day when my furry companion goes… she keeps me sane. the mental connection you can make with an animal can be far moreso than with another human. or maybe that’s just me having strange friends….

sorry to hear the news.

heartbreaking – keeping you in our thoughts…

Well, I have 17 dogs and 20 cats and when one of them dies is a whole world that dies with him/her. It’s like when a son dies: even if a mother has other children, his/her loss will be deeply felt. Nothing can replace that.

I took a week of when my pup passed away, its such a hard thing to deal with. Im so sorry

I am SO sorry about the loss of your lovely dog. Peace be with you and your family.

thank you again everyone for your comments. i wasn’t very coherent yesterday, so my above post barely made sense. but i am so grateful to grace for posting such a happy picture of coop, and to all of you for your sweet comments. they really do help. thank you, thank you, victoria xo

We are both so sorry to hear the news. Our dog Bosun means the world to us to. Our thoughts are with you.

the number of comments on victoria’s blog is a testament to how wonderful she is. the picture of cooper is absolutely divine. our deepest condolences.
