- Cooper is taking a click-a-trick class, and he might just be the smartest dog there. He learns everything on the spot. I’m so proud! Except, we’re discovering, he does not do well with high-energy, rambunctious dogs. He got into a scuffle in his last class and another one in this class with dogs who were boisterous. The trainer – who knows Emmett and Lucas and next-door Cady – asked, “Does he have experience with high-energy dogs?” Um. Hmmm. Something to work on.
Who? Me? - Speaking of Cooper, thank you for sharing all your doggy daycareexperiences. I’m very happy to report that he has made HUGE improvements. One of the ladies told us that Cooper loooooves to run, and when I dropped him off yesterday he waltzed right over to the entry room instead of desperately clawing a trying to get back to me. YAY! (Maybe this will help with point #1? Hmm.)
After doggy daycare - Emmett is sick. He’s had a very upset stomach for a little over a day now. But what kills me about Emmett is that when he wakes me up at 4 am desperate to go outside, the second I swing my legs out of bed, the little darling wags at me! And he wags when I tuck him back into his bed after he goes. He feels terrible, I’m sure, but he sure keeps his spirits up! There is (yet another) lesson to be learned from him in this.
Sleeping the day away in the office with me. - Saturday is National Pit Bull Awareness Day! We’re taking Coop to Indy for a big event. Is there anything going on in your area?
- And, on a personal note, I am not ready for Christmas. Why are people talking about Christmas shopping? Why does Target have a Christmas aisle? I still haven’t finished sewing the boys’ mouse ears for their “three blind mice” Halloween costumes yet. Why, why why?

Yay! So happy to hear that Cooper is enjoying doggie daycare 🙂 I hope Emmet is feeling better soon!!
Haha. I’m not thinking about Christmas at all yet either!
You know, does Cooper not like rambunctious dogs, or does he just think they should behave properly? Bella is the latter. Of course, I don’t take her out with many dogs/people but I have no issues with her telling a dog to back off. Not so good if you want a dog that can go to daycare though. Glad he’s enjoying it more!
Glad to hear Cooper’s doing well at Doggie Daycare!
