More About Cooper

Cooper came to Humane Society of Sarasota County on 20th March of this year.

He was surrendered by the Hardee County Sheriffs Animal Service, at aged two years.  We have no idea how he came to be in their temporary care.

Hardee is small County in Central Florida with a population of about 26,000  

Wauchula is the County Town.




It's likely that there is no rescue /adoption service in that town and county.  The obvious humane choice was to bring Cooper from Wauchula to Sarasota, where the Humane Society of Sarasota County is a premier no-kill shelter. (I adopted Penne and Zion via HSSC)

Our first day together has been little short of remarkable. It's as if we have always known each other.  He is perpetually by my side.






Cooper and I will need some help in leash behaviour.  He is very strong and forges ahead at will.  I bought a harness (which makes me feel more secure) but nonetheless we'll need the available help of HSSC so that I will become the leader in our outdoor forays.



How more handsome could you be?

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews.

This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.

Not the best of days HELP! A mistake and a fall.

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
