Cooper

Cooper - The newest addition to the Jennings family.
And yes he is just as sweet and loveable as he appears in this picture.  He and his brother were abandoned and found later by a neighbor who brought them to the Vet's office in Fayette where my sister lives.  My sister and her kids adopted one and named him Cruiser and we got his brother and named him Cooper.  The Vet described him as the laziest, most unmotivated puppy she had ever seen.  We immediately decided he was the dog for us!  It has been about a month now and he is adjusting to his new home & family very well.  The boys just adore him and they love playing with him in the yard and hiking with him in the woods.  It is very sad that people just abandon puppies and he was really pitiful when we first got him.  Very skinny and afraid but grateful to be fed and loved.  We had him for about 3 days before we even heard him bark.  Finally he barked in excitement to see the boys one afternoon.  He loves going to the farm with the boys and he even gets to spend time with his brother from time to time.  After many months and talks and trips to the shelter just to "look" we are all glad we waited for Cooper.
