This is Heather, Copley's Momo. Today is Copley's 12th Birthday!!! Today I should be celebrating in style with my tiny Moosh, but instead I have the heartbreaking job of letting you all know that Copley passed away unexpectedly 6 days ago. I am completely shattered and in shock - this came out of nowhere. Copley's heart gave out on him last Wednesday morning as he was doing what he loved best - wrestling with his brother. He had developed a tumor on his heart in the last few weeks and it just gave out. The amount of sadness I feel cannot be described.
Normally today I would be treating my Tiny to a pup cake and dozens of toys and we would have planned a huge outing that involved a hike, or a beach day, and tons of bacon. Instead, I am donating in his memory to the rescue I adopted him from 11 years ago - Orphaned Pets, Inc. They brought me the most immense joy of my life when they adopted Copley to me. I'm hoping my donation will help them rescue more dogs and bring that much joy to someone else. If you'd like to join me in celebrating Copley's life, you can donate to Orphaned Pets via their website, or they even have an Amazon Smile Wish List. I know they'd appreciate anything at all - and that Mooshie would feel really special knowing he helped other puppies get a home as happy and loving as he had. I will put the link in the comments below if you are so inclined.
I wanted to thank you all for following along on his adventures over the years. I know he loved sharing them with all of you! To celebrate his wonderful life, here are a few pictures from his trip to Mexico over the July 4th holiday that he never got around to posting. You can see how much fun he had roaming the beach and splashing in the water. His moment of pure joy came when he found a barnacle in the surf and spent 20 minutes just sniffing it to figure out what it was.
Rest in Peace my tiny Moosh. Momo loves you more than anything.
