In October 2014, Jeff and I had to put Mr Cooper to sleep. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done and it really tore Jeff up. About a month before, the three of us went camping and I was able to capture a great photo of the two of them at the beach in San Luis Obispo. It's my favorite picture of the two of them together. The night we put him down, I read a letter to Jeff and Mr Cooper about my experience having Mr Cooper as my dog and how much I'd miss him. For Jeff's 50th birthday, I decided to do this photo with the words from my letter overlaid onto the image. I had it printed on metal and I think it came out great as a nice tribute to Jeff and Mr Cooper.
