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?

By 12:30 the Vet phoned me with this shocking and unexpected news.  (see below)   How odd that a scan for a lesser issue should reveal the bad news.   I think that the scan was providential. I could have taken him home for what would have been his last two to three possible miserable days but I  decided to say goodbye to Zion there and then.  I stayed with him to the end at 2:00 p.m. I am in shock.  I am grateful for six fantastic years together.  I rejoice that he brought joy to so many people. His remains will be returned to me to be buried near my home, with a flowering shrub planted over them. Thanks for your care John Michael Povey Hello Michael,   I will show you the images when you arrive but essentially what we see on the CT is that he has multiple masses on his spleen and several in his lungs, additionally he has flui

Utterly Wonderful

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. Cousins, second cousins, third cousins A joyful and relaxed family reunion. Super food. Great food for children with activities for them too, including face painting. 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.
