I've received so many emails and calls regarding my last blog on Scooter-now-Cooper, it is good know that these pearls of mine are actually being read! The requests have been for more photos and news of Cooper in his new home. And I'm happy to oblige.
Aside from digging a 20" hole in the ground underneath the 10' back fence (!), getting out and going a mile down the road to the local school where he was found in the middle of the intersection crouched down in fear, from where he was rescued by the principal who saw his temporarily etched new phone number on his collar, he's doing wonderfully. Kiley brought home iron grates so there would be no more digging out.
Cooper slept only his second night inside on 6 year old Ava's floor where she got down there and slept with him. Why? Because as of his third night at the Olsons' he slept right up in the bed NEXT to Ava. Ava, who has never slept a night through without getting up and going in to sleep with her parents, has yet to leave her bedroom during the night since Cooper's arrival in her room. When she awakes she puts her arm out and he's right there, with his paw back on her.
He's now sniffed every part of the house, stays indoors playing with everyone and getting completely spoiled, The kids take turns walking him before school in the mornings. He spends the day in the yard with the garage door open with his day bed inside for him to nap. Then going to the dog park every night after work with the entire family for an hour of running with dozens of other of his local dog new buddies.
Monday they took him to one of the local "uber"-Vets.JPG)
to the rich and famous per Jane's (Julie's mom, Kiley's mother in law, the 3 kids' grandma and my best friend) recommendation to find out his health story by "only the best". The Vet thinks Cooper might be 5 because of the tarter on his teeth. The Crawfordville Vet who examined him when we first rescued him thought he was only 2. We don't really know and don't much care. He is amazingly healthy, energetic and happy. And so is the entire Olson family, particularly Daddy Kiley, I'm told, who has fallen head over heels with "The Coop-ster"!
