Super Coop!!!

I am guilty these days of not giving Cooper much attention, and then he does something to make me remember that he was really my first baby! I was doing some yard work the other day and sat down in the shade to take a break, and Coop came over and got in my lap (all 80 lbs.)!! He was so happy that I was actually paying attention to him that he wouldn't let me get up. He is such a sensitive dog and truly loves Erik, Ford and me unconditionally. He is loyal and best of all he loves Ford! He is part of our family and we love him so much that he deserves a post dedicated to him!

 

Here's a much younger Coop (and me) on our way home from picking him out!

 

He cried all night the first night!

 

After a few days he warmed up and became crazy!

 

First trip to the beach! He didn't quite know what to do!

 

I guess you could say I babied him just a bit (:

 

 

This has always been my favorite pic of Coop! This is at the top of a hike in Big Sur!

 

And then came the baby! He loved Ford from the very beginning!

 

A face realizing he's not the baby anymore!

 Caught mid yawn!

 

 These two are best buddies! Ford loves his doggie so much!

 

Family of four!
