Growing like a weed!

I haven't posted about our puppy in awhile and thought it was time for an update! Our little rascal is growing so fast. He's already 14.5 weeks and is well over 35 lbs. We've experienced a lot of "firsts" lately--some of which you'll see in the pictures below. Here's a list of some of the stuff Cooper's accomplished/demolished recently:

• Went to his first (and second) vet visit
• Shredded three outdoor couch cushions
• Learned how to push his way through a cracked door
• Can (in one jump) leap onto the couch and reach the decorative pillows (or lick your face)
• LOVES to run off with the remote (and almost can't focus on anything else if it's anywhere around)
• Will bark back at us if we tell him "No"
• Sits perfectly still in Granddad's truck, but runs all over my lap when he's in my car
• Had his first case of an upset stomach! See The Stoy's Story on Poop-A-Palooza for a similar experience.
• Ate his food too fast and threw it all up (Sorry for those who have weak stomachs. It was the most bizarre thing I've ever witnessed!)
• Survived his first long weekend without Mama!
• Knows when we ask him, "Where's Mama?" or "Where's Daddy?" (He'll go looking for us)
• Loves to run off with Kelly's running shoes
• Doesn't like to go outside if he doesn't need to go "Potty." (He'll just sit down on the ground and look at us.)
• He will run you over if he does have to go "Potty" and you're not opening the door fast enough
• Tries to help us do whatever it is we're doing...laundry, dishes, getting out his dog food. He LOVES to be right under foot!
• Knows how to melt your heart!

We love you, Cooper!
