Cooper
is a playful pup with a spunky attitude. He is our second dog. If
we aren't paying attention to him he makes all kinds of funny noises to
get our attention. Cooper, still being a puppy, will nip at us if he gets
too excited. Cooper loves toys. We buy him rubber chickens and he rips up
one a day. He loves to take us for walks and play hide and seek with us
kids. Cooper loves everyone he meets and has lots of good doggy friends in our neighborhood.
About six months before we decided to get Cooper, our first dog, Willy,
died from cancer. After a while, we all decided that our house just didn't
feel right without a furry friend to love. We loved Willy so much and he
was such a sweet gentle dog, that we decided to go to the same breeder,
even though the breeder was now a three hour drive from our house. We went
to visit the breeder at Thanksgiving. He had a litter of puppies that had
just been born, but weren't ready to leave their mommy. We had to go back
a week before Christmas to meet the puppies for the first time. There was
one puppy that really seemed to like us, and he would curl up in my lap
and fall asleep. There was no doubt in our mind that this was our pup. A
lot of people say this, but Cooper kind of picked us, and he made our
house feel right again.
Another game Cooper likes is chase. We run around our house and Cooper
chases us around and around and around the house. He is really getting
good at Hide and seek. Mom will hold Cooper while we go hide - on rainy
days its in the house, but we even use our whole yard when the weather is
nice. Cooper gets so excited he yelps until it is time for him to find us.
He is really good at finding us and we give him a little treat when he
does to make sure he understands the game. That rubber chicken gets a lot
of life in Cooper's nightly games of fetch. It seems like he will play
with it for a long time, and then just suddenly decide that its time for
the chicken to go!
Cooper loves ice. Sometimes instead of treats he will want ice! He is a
great boy who makes us smile every day.
