Cooper Updates

Cooper has been especially sassy lately.  You think he'd be used to me being back at work by now.  I think it might also have something to do with how dark and cold it is earlier at night, so we aren't spending as much time outside.  But boy has this puppy been sassy!

We've been leaving him uncrated in the house (but bedroom doors closed) for over a year now, and he's always fine.  But lately, every time we come home we find that he's gotten into something else, despite our attempts to move every single object out of his way!  This past week, we started crating him again, but that is just disasterous - he drools and cries all day long and is soaking wet by the time we get home from work.

We're not really sure what to do anymore!  Today we left him out while we went to our friends' house for the Packer game, and he did fine.  Hopefully we can leave him out, as he really gets so worked up when he's crated!!!

Here are some pictures of just some of the sassy things he's gotten into lately:

Toilet paper, anyone???

My new VB bag-  Thanks Barb, for finding someone in O-town to fix this one!!! :)

Guess he doesn't love the hydrangeas...

Lint roller... (it was on the table - with chairs pushed in)

Not pictured: Bag of candy corn eaten off of the counter top, loaf of bread eaten off of the counter top, pumpkin candles chewed on from the table...

The other day, we yelled at him for getting the pumpkin candles off the table, and he ran right to his crate and punished himself.  We didn't even close the crate door.  Guess he knows the drill by now!
