Silly Puppy

For several weeks Cooper has been chewing on himself. He has always chewed on his tail but now he has started chewing on other appendages. He will lay there for 1-2 minutes just chewing on his front leg. It is a strange thing, but I rather he chew on himself than me.

Last weekend Cooper was playing with Reecee and got tired. She was sleeping on his bed so where could Cooper sleep? Well he found a place. This is the bin we store our shoes and towels when we go outside with Cooper. He was quite happy to sleep there. Silly Puppy.

Swimming, and the bottle

On Sat. we took Cooper to the lake and he went swimming. He retireved my flip flop. I think he would do practicly anything for a flip flop. He went in about 5 times and then sat on the beach shivering. It was pretty cold water. We walked around a part near by and everyone who saw cooper loved him. He got called everthing from "the president's dog" to a cockerdoodle. Oviously he is an Irish water spaniel. He also met my aunt and uncle and chased a waterbottle that was tied to a string for at least an hour. On monday he played with Nalla and she taught him how to stick his head underwater to pick it up out of the pool. Cooper was adorable with his ears floating on top of the water and him blowing little bubles out of his nose. So CUTE! Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Playing with the big dogs.

Cooper is growing like a weed. He is now 21.4 pounds! He has learned to play with the big dogs now and often returns from playing with them with big tuffs of hair in his mouth. He has been really good with the new babies around. He wants to play with them and explore their hands with his mouth, but he has been resisting the temptation. The weather should be nice this weekend so hopefully we can take him swimming again.

I started my new job and have been enjoying it. It is really nice to work "normal" hours and have my weekends off. It has been a challenge to get my chores done around the house when I am working full time, but we are figuring it out.

Hope you enjoy the pictures:
