Kitchen Talk With Alex

Hanging out in the kitchen is something we do a lot.

It’s not Cooper’s favorite because there are no laps to sit on.

So he gets someone to pick him up so he can be up where all the conversation is.  

Snuggling Any Way He Can

Talk about spoiled!

I wanna get up…

I wanna sit here…

Now I wanna sit here…

I like it here better…

He’s really something!  

How does he get people to just move where ever he wants them?

Watching A Movie

Laid up having to stay still while I was in a cast was BORING.

But sometimes things would happen to make things a little more tolerable.

I was watching a movie that had dogs in it,

And Cooper noticed and started to actually watch the movie.

He was tipping his head and really watching the movie.  So cute!

Ear Scratches

Most dogs LOVE to have their ears scratched.

Clearly Cooper is no different.

By the look on his face he would sit and allow this all day.

Belly Ache

Most of the time Cooper doesn’t lay around on the floor.  When he does it’s because he has a belly ache and he’s happier on the floor.

He usually has to throw up.  He has a very sensitive stomach and gets frequent belly aches, so this is how I can tell.

The Best Hugs!

I know I post a lot of pictures with Cooper getting big hugs from one of his best friends.

But look how much he likes them.  He stays right with him, even though with most people he pulls away.

Three Stooges Marathon on New Year's Eve

One of my favorite things about New Year’s Eve is the Three Stooges Marathon.

I don’t usually celebrate by going to a party.

I stay home… sometimes my kids stay over night so we can watch the ball drop together.

But the Three Stooges is the best entertainment.  We love it!

Missing The Riding Season Already

Pictures like these make me long for summer.

I just want to get out of my cast and get on my bike.

It seems like a long away memory.

But i know, Spring is less than 60 days away.  :-D

New Years Eve '16

Cooper is such a good sport.

He loves to be around people.

No matter what we’re doing is usually good with him.

He even allows me to dress him up for about 37 seconds.

Gotta point and click quickly to get these pictures.

Scooter Shopping With Mama

See?  Nothing but the best behavior.

Sit, down, stay. 

And he did.

Good Place For A Mirror In BJ's

When we were checking out at BJ’s there was a mirror in the perfect spot for me to get a shot of Cooper on the scooter at my feet.

He’s so cute.  He looked at me right through the mirror.

So smart.  Really.

Cooper Rides At Mama's Feet - 2

Even after we got outside Cooper stayed at my feet.

He didn’t stand up or bark.  He just perked up a little more because we were going to the car.

Cooper Rides At Mama's Feet - 1

At BJ’s the scooter I borrowed this time had more room at the feet.

So I got him to stay at my feet through the whole store.  He barked once but seemed very comfortable there.  Good win here.

Gus and Cooper

Cooper isn’t really comfortable with babies being too close.

But we got Gus just about sitting on Cooper without him realizing it.

Once he noticed he looked at me like I played a dirty trick.

He was very tolerant though.  

What a good boy.

King Of The Mountain

Since I broke my ankle my kids have been doing my laundry for me.

This time they washed my blankets.  When they brought them up, look who had to play King Of The Mountian.

Brave, Annoying Willow - 2

When Cooper was trying to eat his dinner when Willow was investigating.

She even got right in the food while Cooper was trying to eat.

I think if they lived together they might become excellent friends.
