Welcome Home Cooper

I knew one day it WOULD happen.....especially with a husband like Brett. We will have a dog and be one of those dog people. Well, here he is folks, our very own puppy.



His name is Cooper. He is about 10 weeks old and he is a Yorkie Poo (Yorkshire terrier and poodle mix). He is super cute and a fun breed for kids to have. He is so little, most of him is just fluff for now, but he should only get to be about 9 to 11 lbs which is perfect for apartments =) Brett has been buggin me for months to get a puppy. He has wanted one so bad for so long, since we first got married. He grew up with dogs, I however did not, so this is new for me. I am not a big fan of cleaning up animal poop or doggie kisses or dog breath or the smell of dog food, but cooper sure is cutie and fills the snuggle void I have in my life from time to time since my kids have outgrown me for that.
The kids love him and he gets plenty of playtime with them....but not too much as too overload the poor guy. They get him for about 15 mins and then he gets at least a half hour break in his "play pen". He is probably going to have to get used to being mauled, but for now we are just letting him get used to a new place =)

He is mostly Brett's responsibility. That was part of the agreement in getting him. Brett does most of the work, but of course the chances of me getting away with not doing anything are slim to nothing. Anywho, just wanted to tell you about our puppy. It may sound silly, but There are some moments in life where I actually feel like a typical American family. This is one of those moments. Working husband. Stay at home mommy. One Girl. One Boy. And a Dog.

I am not an animal lover, but I think your puppy is so cute. (Shocking for me) My husband would like a dog someday.. if he wins, we may have to get one like yours.

he's soooooo cute. but chris is anti dogs and he's talked me out of it. so i'll just drool over your precious puppy instead.
