Snooper
February 23, 1993 - April 20, 2006 - George & Laura Cooper
Snooper became “Snooper Cooper” on May 2, 2004. For two wonderful years we shared our lives with and adored this sweet, loving boy. Although technically a “senior” when we adopted him, apparently no one had informed him of this fact. He was such a proud little fellow, always holding is head high as he bounded from mailbox to mailbox on his walks with his ears bouncing up and down as he trotted along. While he was plagued by the arthritis that seems to be an inevitable part of aging, he never complained and it never slowed him down. He would shake it out upon rising until he got everything into motion and then off he would go! He never lost his ability to jump up on the furniture, although he did do a bit of preplanning before his jumps. You could just see that he was calculating the distance as he performed his little “wind up” routine prior to each jump. Oh how he could make us laugh!!
He was a healthy boy until the last three weeks of his life when he became very ill, and we knew his time with us was growing shorter. Snooper passed away on April 20, 2006 taking a piece of our hearts with him.
We miss you sweet Snooper and will love you always. You brought joy, love and laughter into our lives and your memory will live in our hearts forever. Rest peacefully until we meet again.
