Our visitor

This is Cooper, our visitor this week, since my sister is out of town for Thanksgiving. Mari and Elmo aren't that excited that he's here, but Sean and I love our hairy little nephew.

Cooper is a little bummed that our dogs won't play with him, but he finds other ways to entertain himself. I've been taking him for car rides, and to the dog park, which helps to fill his time.

As you can see, he's very fond of tugging. It us usally more enjoyable for us if there is a toy involved, as he's got quite a grip. He also enjoys barking at each and every leaf, child or car that goes by our house. He's a total doof...but a very good boy when he's sleeping. We have him until Wednesday, when I take him to his pet hotel for a few days. We're headed out of town, and he'd be a bit much for a travel companion. We're used to the geriatric dog pack which is just a tad bit more subdued.

Don't worry though, Sean was out wrangling leaves (yes, AGAIN!). So we'll have leaf and dog pictures. We'll have to wean you off slowly, since that is about all we post about, and we're pretty near the end of leaf season. Sean was trying to get some pictures of Mari with the leaf blower...she loves that thing. Hopefully he can get those edited and ready to post in the next day or so.

Until then....I'm going back to dogsitting.
