lightning bugs

I have no pics of this, but Cooper is obsessed with chasing lightning bugs now. Last night I was on the deck and it was one of the first nights that we had many in the yard. He sees one and runs after it, attacking it either in the ground or air, and when he gets there, he looks around and sees another one and runs after it. He must have been darting around the yard for at least 20 minutes after them. :) Crazy dog!

David Cook

About a month ago, David Cook came to Springfield...the tickets sold out in 30 seconds!! The day of the show, a friend called to say that she had an extra ticket--it was only like $18 and we were in the 10th row!! It was pretty awesome!

birthday boy!!

Cooper turned 1 this past weekend. He had a cake with a candle, which he reached over and took a bite of while we were singing to him...

MMMMMM!

That was yummy--can I have more?

He got a few new toys and a sandbox..here is a short video of him for the first time in the sandbox.

white trash neighbors

This is a house up the street from me and they have no screens in thier windows and thier 2 dogs just run out on the roof!!! I would be scared, but they don't jump....but they run out and bark at people walking down the street....OH MY!!

cats

The cats always feel left out, so I thought I would include a few pics of them...They are cute! Cosmo likes to peek out the back door to keep an eye on the dog and birds...I thought it was pretty cute.

graduation

Cooper graduated from obedience school....he did pretty well, but he was more interested in playing with the other dogs. My mom called him the class clown, but he got a certificate and a box of biscuits.

haircut

Cooper got his first haircut--it has been awhile, and he is getting ready for another already
