Arrival Story:
We adopted him from the Michigan Humane Society because I was the only one home in the afternoon and where we lived wasn't the greatest.When we went to look at the dogs...I didn't want a puppy,I wanted an adult dog that was already house broken.There were people ahead of us going from cage to cage.But when I looked at this sad looking beagle,a white paw came through the bar as if he were saying "please take me home".Ok that was it.I asked my husband if we could sit with him in a room to see how his attitude was.He had been transferred from a shelter in Ohio to Michigan.We sat in the room and waited for someone to bring him in with us.The minute he saw me,his little stubby tail was already wagging beyond the speed of light.Thats when I got wet from his slobbery beagle kisses.One look at my husband and he said"lets take him home."We changed his name from Ripple to Copper because he was about the color of a penny.It was love at first sight.
Bio:
One fall Saturday,my husband and i had some errands to run.Well,Copper had begged to go with us,but his grandma says take him for a ride.My husband and i hadn't been riding very far,when my husband slammed on the brakes to prevent hitting the car in front of us,who just pulled out in front of us with no warning.Copper fell of the backseat and hit his head on the back of my seat.He just picked himself up as if nothing were wrong.But a week later,he started having problems standing up.He was wobbly looking.Every day he would have more problems.One week went by,and after taking him to the vet,we were told he probably had a pinched nerve in his neck.But as the month went by,his symptoms were becoming worse.He was having problems standing.Then he started peeing all over himself.Since we lived in a bottom floor apartment,we had to carry him upstairs so he could stand outside to pee.Then he started to lose all control of his bowels.Back to the vet we went.The vet did more xrays and i got the worst news a pet parent could get.Copper had fractured 2 vertebraes in his lower back.Even if he were to have surgery,i was guaranteed he would NEVER walk again.I had to make a decision to make.I took him home and the following Wednesday,my husband and i took him to the vet.I told Copper's vet about my decision.He left Copper and i alone.I looked in Copper's eyes and i told him that i was sorry,that i should have left him home with grandma instead of taking him for a ride.I told Copper that i love him and will ALWAYS love him and always MISS him.I told him that he wasn't coming home with me and that he would be going to sleep.I kissed his beautiful beagle face,and he knew that he didn't want to hurt anymore.The vet came in and did what i had asked him to do.Copper's vet gave me a clay disk with his paw print and a tiny bag with some of his fur in it.So on December 7,2006,Copper went to the Rainbow Bridge where i know he misses his mama as much as i still miss and love him very much.I only had Copper for a year,but it was the best year of my life.

It was 3 years ago yesterday when my mama had a painful decision to make.It was either watch me sufffer from never walking again or having me put to sleep so I wouldn't have to suffer.She made the most unselfish decision of having me put to sleep from a car accident her,daddy and I were in.I fractured my lower back and Dr.Hutchinson
told her I would never walk again.I am not mad at mama like she thinks I am.Number one,Beagles and dogs in general don't hold grudges.I wish I could go home and be with her.I miss her as much as she still misses and loves me.But I can never go back down to earth as I have a home where I am not hurting anymore.There are times when a dog up here stops and thinks that maybe their master or mistress is finally coming home...I listen,but mama isn't coming home quite yet.But when she is,I will be waiting to give her wet beagle kisses.Don't worry mama,I am fine and my Angel wings are beautiful.
I love you mom.
Arrroooofff!!!Arrroooofff!!!!
Love Copper

I know that mama is a little sad because she lost another friend,my brother Macracken.But he will be ok mama as I have taken him under my beautiful angel wings.He is no longer hurting.He is young again and happy and running around without any pain.He is with his mama Tasha,his brother Bruno and me.I will make sure he will come and visit you.I visit you every night.I know you can feel me.I really miss you Mama.
Arrooooofffff!!!Arroooofffff!!!
Love Copper

I am going on 3 years in December of living up at the Rainbow Bridge.Everyday,I stop and look to see if my mama is coming up here,but God says "its not her time to come here for a very,very long time".So I look down on mama from up here.I am lonely for her.I miss the way she used to give me mama kisses and how nicely she talked to me.Mama and I loved going for walks.Sigh.I miss everything about my mama.
I try and visit my mama when I can.I try and make her feel my spirit.Mama knows when I am with her because I will get on the bed with her until she falls asleep,then I have to go back home.When I leave,my heart is so broken because she cannot go because she still lives on Earth.I love you mama very much.I will always live in your heart.
Love always,
Your faithful beagle boy,Copper.Arrrooof!!!Arrrooof!!!!
