Copper

18/8
Today was a day of lasts for our Copper; Last steps, last cuddles and last breaths.
To say we are shattered is an understatement. 💔😭
Those who knew Copper, know how much he meant to us. Alizah commented she can't remember a time that he wasn't in her life. Those who met him could not help but fall in love! ❤️‍🩹 He was special to many and we can only be thankful for our time.
It is not physically possible for my heart to ache any more today. 💔 But I will remember to smile for the memories.
Deep down you know they can't live forever but forever would not have been long enough if it was possible. Run free Cop you beautiful hearted boy, thanks for everything you ever were to our family x Go catch discs thrown over rainbow bridge. 🌈
 
We are very proud to have owned such a handsome boy.

.
Copper had the most amazing nature, we could not have hoped for better for our wonderful family member and the father of our Duszah puppies. 
Copper was a very cruisy boy, happy to lay about, swim or enjoy the company of other dogs/people, but he could become just as excitable as the next border collie, he loved a good play. He was my daughter Alizah's dog however he was everyone's, not completely bonded to one of the family more than the other. He was soft and kind at heart.
