| Hangin' with Mr. Cooper |

We decided to kick off 2015 with a BANG.

Otherwise known as a PUPPY.

Somehow (I am still not sure how), Sean decided he was on board with our family getting a dog.

I grew up with dogs and I have always wanted our kids to have the experience of being raised with a nice, family dog.
So here we goooo...

 

Meet Cooper.

He is a black, 5-month old golden doodle.

He is super sweet. Super shy. And super stubborn.

So stubborn that I am working with a dog trainer to get him leash trained.

And potty-trained.

And chew-trained.

And jump-trained.
He is expected to be about 70 lbs full grown so getting him well-trained is of high importance to us.

 

He has a major fetish for socks.

He has eaten and properly digested one.

He has also choked on one.

He owes me his life.

Coop is a lot of work just as I knew he would be.
He's also a lot of fun.
He's shaken up our lives a bit but all good things do.

Welcome to the family, Coop.
