I love to play!

Like any kid, Cooper LOVES playing in the backyard! What a cutie pie, huh!

Cooper works on his core

There's something about watching Cooper play with this ball that reminds me of using an exercise ball. He loves this thing. It used to be Laina's -- -- -- used to be, that is!

Growing like a..........puppy

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.

Easter Sunday

Cooper's first Easter and the bunny didn't disappoint! Cooper and the kitties shared an Easter basket and Cooper got a new Nylabone and butterfly squeaky toy, which is his favorite toy now. The kitties got two new catnip sacks that they couldn't wait to dive into!

Max cannot contain himself over the new catnip sack

Easter at Grammy & Grampy's house

Cooper took his first road trip down to Grammy & Grampy's house to have Easter dinner. He did wonderfully in the car -- sleeping most of the way on the floor in between my legs. He did great at Grammy & Grampy's too and had a lot of fun meeting his Grandparents!

See, Grampy really does like animals!

Reunited with Auntie Di -- so happy!

Cooper's First Trip to the Groomer

Cooper had his first professional grooming the Friday before Easter so that he was nice and handsome for the big holiday. It was nice to be able to see his eyes again and he was so soft and fluffy!

So soft and fluffy!

Cooper takes a bath

Cooper experienced his first bath on Saturday. Let's just say - - - not a fan. He whimpered through the whole thing and clung to me for dear life. Then, we finished the bath, toweled dried off and out came the hair dryer - - that is when the real "fun" began. Poor Cooper was not impressed. But he survived it and I must say, his coat is soft and manageable and he smells delicious!

Bath time is exhausting

Cooper Is TEN Weeks Old!

Super Duper Cooper is 10 weeks old today! Amazing! He's an adorable little pupster. We start puppy class today which is a good thing because we need to learn some good habits!

Coop's favorite spot in the mudroom - up on the rack.

Cooper eats his leash. Yup, we need puppy class

But how do you resist that face?
