I had a whole post of the things we have done this week for funds for Friday but it went out the door this morning when Jennfier texted me “Copper can’t even stand up.” We both knew what that meant. It meant that love can’t always save an animal no matter how much we want it to. It means his body is tired and he gave it his best fight this last month. It means he was telling us, I’m ready 💔
No one prepares you for not being able to “fix” an animal. We have had so many successes but sometimes all the medicine and love in the world can’t fix a problem we have no control over. Unfortunately we believe he was battling cancer.
He didn’t leave this world without love , A FAMILY WHO CARED, he had people with him 24/7. His foster siblings, especially Eileen loved him so much. This picture of Eileen was from this morning when she was giving him kisses. Jennifer and Trace adopted Copper and he was a part of their family.
I have a lot of not nice things to say about his previous owners but it doesn’t matter, all that matters is how much joy he brought to us and the Foster’s and everyone he met. He reminded us of kindness, pure love, silliness and that he was very much still a boy 😂Even though today I’m completely gutted along with his Fosters, we all would do it all over again even knowing the outcome to give him the best month.
Copper, truly the saying, if love could have saved you, you would still be alive, IS SO TRUE🩵🌈💔
We love you so much.
In honor of Copper, we are having $5 Friday in his honor. Copper would want us to continue to be able to take animals in his condition even if the outcome is something we can’t control, we can control all the love an animal gets while they are earth side because we know all dogs go to heaven 🌈🪽🐾
