Cooper


On Sunday evening we took the dogs to Joe's Valley for a little Sunday drive. On the way down Cooper (the poodle on the right) decided that just looking at the deer was not enough and jumped out of the truck while we were moving. We weren't going very fast - maybe 10 to 15 mph, but it was enough to do extensive damage. He broke his femer bone in half, broke a hip bone, and broke his pelvis in at least two places. It was very sad. After two days we have finally decided to go ahead with the surgery. He will have to be kept in a pet porter and taken out only for short walks for six weeks! But, the vet said after that he should live a normal life. I think we will rename him "Million Dollar Dog."
