The results are in and the judges have picked the winners.

Third place – @flyingavians.

And a special award for People’s Choice (most likes on Instagram and facebook) goes to Mariangel Mayorga.

Congratulations to the winners! And a special thank you to Kelle, Karon, Maevonne, Shivangi, Susan, Jan and Missy for judging this year’s contest.
I wish we could award all the artists who entered this year’s Draw Cooper Contest with prizes – all the entries were marvelous. Thank you to everyone who submitted their rendition of Coopie – we loved each and every work of art.

We are looking forward to the 2023 Draw Cooper Contest!

The entries…

This year we received 26 amazing entries from artists of all ages for the Draw Cooper Contest.
The judges are currently deliberating (I am glad I am not one!) and the winners will be announced on May 1st.
Cooper hopes you enjoy all these wonderful works of art as much as she does.

Sunny Days

On Friday I noticed that Sunny was a bit lethargic and her breathing was labored. Luckily, Harry was able to make an appointment with the vet the next day. Sunny has an abdominal bulge (most likely an enlarged organ) and occasionally needs to have fluid withdrawn. The vet withdrew quite a bit of fluid and gave her a lupron injection.

She was immediately better. And so were we!

Here she is looking more herself, bright and sunny.
