Cooper is getting very big! It's bittersweet. His little bladder holds longer and he's not quite as wild and crazy ALL the time -- but -- it's sad because he's not so little anymore. By the end of summer he'll be full grown! If I thought Laina grew fast --- wow!
Here is Cooper enjoying some shade in the 80+ degree April day
Cooper loves his crate!
We had to increase the size of his crate last night. Now instead of being in 1/3 the crate, he uses 1/2 the crate. Pretty soon he'll get the whole space!
Even with the extra room, he still loves to smoosh his face against the bars of the crate.
Cooper is growing up. He's really starting to mellow out. Don't get me wrong, he's still our wild and crazy little puppy, but he's just taken it down one notch. There was a noticeable difference this weekend, in particular. Normally when he's out of his crate he just goes and goes and goes, revving up so much that eventually he gets himself in some trouble and has to be crated to calm down. But this weekend he started just calming down without having to be put in his crate and for the first time, started hanging out in his crate without being lured there by a kong filled with peanut butter! It's nice to see a glimpse of the mellow adult dog we will have some day. Now if I could just get him to stop biting. But, along those lines....Cooper appears to have lost his first tooth and I can tell another tooth is loose. I'm keeping my eye on it because I want to collect as many of his baby teeth as I can get my hands on!
