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!
