Happy National Dog Day!

It's National Dog Day and I pulled up a few pictures of our little guy, who isn't so little anymore.   Our Cooper was born on Mother's Day in 2009.  The picture at the very bottom is when Julie and I first saw him.  The one right above that was when we got him home.  Yeah, it was love at first sight.  Is it any wonder?

He's a Sheltie that is often mistaken for a Collie because of his size, in case you're wondering about the breed.  He sometimes drives us crazy for a variety of reasons:  turns circles, lots of circles; seems to bark incessantly, usually in the house; is totally freaked out by the sound of the washing machine in the basement; scares the dickens out of little kids because of his bark... However, we love the heck out of him.

Happy National Dog Day Cooper.  How 'bout an extra treat tonight buddy...
