PUP IS PROGRESSING,SENIOR IS SLOWING

PUP IS PROGRESSING,SENIOR IS SLOWING, I have noticed the older dog,Cooper, slowing down and not being quite as nimble over the last few weeks, arthritic, just unwell, a visit to the vets I think.

This video is a month old as I watch it and I hope that Cooper is feeling better - but it hit close to home. As I wrote in previous video and comments with you, we have the wee Cocker pup coming next week . A main reason for bringing home the new pup now, was that our oldest girl is now going on 13 and had slowed noticably - same as your Cooper. Today after 8 weeks of this "slowing down" we had results from the vet, who has been testing her extensively - she has cancer. Her treatment will be palative at this time and we've been told this cancer can bee very fast, so we should be prepared - possibly only 1 to 2 months left with our girl. She has always given her all - winning two High in Trials in one season and numerous other awards and always a joy to live with and train with. Very best wishes for you and Cooper - I hope you have lots of time left together and thank you for your videos.

Christ auld Coops will be a nightmare trying to semi retire him, I don’t envy you when the time comes to fully retire him.
