Dedicated to Cooper...

"Cooper, please leave the baby alone", "Cooper, don't lick the baby", Cooper, no jumping on the baby" and "Cooper, that's the baby's toy, leave it"! These were many of the things we were constantly yelling at Cooper when we first brought Ryan home.....BOY have the tables turned. Now we are constantly telling Ryan not to bother Cooper. "Ryan, don't hit Cooper", or "Ryan, don't run Cooper over with your shopping cart", or "Ryan, leave Cooper alone, he's trying to sleep"! Poor Cooper once enjoyed lazy, sleepy days of peace and quiet and now does't know what quiet sounds like anymore. I know Cooper is "just" a dog but he is the best dog and so great with Ryan. He tolerates Ryan taking his toy or bone, or pulling his fur, or clocking him in the face with his sippy cup. Instead of growling at Ryan he just gives him a little lick (kiss) on the face. Such a sweet dog! Truly one of the best and we are so lucky to have him as our dog!

  1. He is such a cutie! I feel like we went through the same thing with our labs, I think one of them was depressed when Parker came hom, he would not go into his cage for months!

  3. Cooper is so cute! We have had similar issues with Pepper. She loves when Kyle sleeps because that is when she gets her one-on-one time:-)

  4. We love Cooper too! Tonight before bed Kate couldn't find her Cooper. We had to search the whole house for him in order for her to stop crying and go to sleep!

  5. Okay, Cooper is ADORABLE! What an awesome dog you have! We have the same issues over here with X - lately he wants to ride on our lab.
