May 23rd. The day we got Cooper. Oh, what a special day it was, and little did we know how much our lives would change.
For the better.
We couldn’t stop hugging him. He was truly a snuggle bug.
Oh, there’s more of that
He really started to grow and develop his own special personality. Lots of Peek-a-boo/I see you!
Then there’s the new toy phenomenon. He leaps around it poking it to make sure it is safe. Then he hides it under the couch. Upon this, he cries and seeks aid. It’s quite pitiful.
He has the ability to melt your heart with his “Look.”
Daddy has gotten quite smug with the little one. He has melted HIS heart too. Daddy didn’t think that was possible.
Of course, Tatum can’t get enough of him. She even will read to him.
And he returns the favor by watching her babies. He’s such a good brother.
Then there’s the MOMMY. Yes, I am absolutely head over heels CRAY CRAZY about him.
OH, yes, it’s a love connection.
It sure helps that he misses me when I leave. (LOL)
Or sometimes when I’m not up yet, he waits.
Maybe if I get a bit closer..
We love to celebrate him every time we turn around.
We do wear him out and at times he can barely hang on.
But then when we put him to bed, he wakes right up.
He also loves to go the salon and look dapper.
He would rather not have to wear a cone ever again; especially one that makes him look like a scary lion.
But, oh sweet Cooper, you are one today, and we want to celebrate all that is you.
Tatum lined up some of your old toys with a new bone. Will you find it?
She then got out another one, and he about wiggled his tail right off; Daddy had to control him! Throw it, PRETTY PLEASE!!!??
He enjoyed every bit of his new toys.
Happy birthday, Cooper! Don’t eat it all in one bite, buddy.
You add so much joy to our family. You also give us many excuses to laugh. Sometimes, we just don’t want to go outside. but when we do, you pull us to see all those bunnies, quail, pigeons, flying leaves which adds to our appreciation of nature. Oh, and I’ll add celebrating you gives us a reason to have a hot fudge sundae.
It’s all good, Coopy! Happy Birthday, sweet puppy.
