Pup pics!

Daniel and I finally drove to North Carolina on Saturday to pick up our puppy. It had been two weeks since we had seen him but he hadnt changed much. He slept in my lap the whole way home while we tried to figure out a name for him. I cant believe we didnt have one picked out since we had two weeks to think about it.
Daniel and I had picked a few favorites but we decided to see what his personality was like before naming him. On the way home we thought about the names that each of us liked, me-Tucker & Dutch; Daniel- Kelo & Kona, but none of them seemed to fit. Then Daniel mentioned the name Cooper and somehow it just sounded right. Then Daniel said Cooper again and his stumpy little tail twitched in his sleep as if he was approving it. So thats his name and I think it suites him.

His first night at home was a very long one. Daniel wants to crate train him but I dont know if either of us have the heart for it. Who could comfortably lay in bed while their little puppy, missing his mother and siblings, is frantically whining and trying to dig out of the crate? Needless to say, after only about five minutes he was up in our bed curled up between us and fast asleep. Poor Daniel had to get up five times during the night to let him out. Since I am taking tomorrow off from work, I will be getting up with him tonight, I sure hope he sleeps through the night.


He didnt know quite what to make of the sheep.
