Likes: chasing lizards!, squeaky toys, bully sticks, jumping in the waves, jumping on people, jumping on other dogs, putting slobbery toys in your lap, spooning, meeting everyone: human or canine
Pet-Peeves: skateboards, motorcycles, squirrelies in his birdfeeder!, not being allowed to jump on people.
Favorite Toy: lizards!, anything that squeaks, rope toys, rawhides
Favorite Food: Canidae, cheese (any kind), chicken jerky, bully sticks. He also loves to eat grass; the really long kind that is a lot of fun to deal with at the other end of Cooper...if ya catch my meaning.
Favorite Walk: anywhere!...especially if there are lizards
Best Tricks: sit and down...he takes treats very gently, and he's always been perfectly housebroken, no accidents or marking! He will moosh his nose against the storm door window and make faces at you if you are outside.
Arrival Story: I saw a picture of Cooper on Petfinder in July of '06, and was mesmerized by those ears! His bio said all the right things, too...good with kids and other dogs, and housebroken. Turns out he had been at the shelter for 2 months, and while all the employees and volunteers loved him dearly ( One of the animal control officers brought him a BK Whopper every Sunday), there hadn't been any real interest in him. Of course now I can't imagine why..he is well-behaved, and a fast learner, not to mention so handsome! I was a little nervous when I first met him...he was hyper, skinny and dirty; but as soon as he was 'home' he settled right down, and has spent the last 6 months working his wonderful way into our hearts.
Bio: Cooper was found as a stray in early May 2006 in Edgewater, FL. He was wearing tags, his owners were notified, and eight days later they decided to pick him up. When they found out they'd have to pay $80 for his release ($10 a day...an exorbitant fee!), they decided Milford (yeah...his name was Milford!) wasn't worth it, and signed him over. Luckily for him, he had been left at one of the only shelters in the area that accepts and rehomes pit bull-type dogs...most of the others would have euthanized him in 3 days time. His name now Bam Bam, he was adopted quickly by a family that already had a pittie, but complications arose from his neuter surgery (rough, unsupervised play with the other dog led to horrible swelling and infection at the surgery site, which spread to his rear leg), which scared the new family, and he was returned. 2 months later I saw him online...and the rest is blissful history!
Cooper is such a happy boy! He loves every person and every dog...he loves you! 70 pounds or so of brindle and white pittie goodness, with the most amazing ears. I'm lucky to have him; he makes me laugh every day!

Whaddya think? My galpal Daisy did it for me. Why have a boring, cliche' holiday background when you can have heads, I say? Especially Coop dawg heads! Thanks, Daze...you're the best! (I love how you keep re-inventing your fabulous self, by the way. It's so Madonna-esque!)
Yeah...that's right. For reasons I am doggedly refusing to disclose, I , Governor Cooper, have decided not to kill my latest squeaking stuffie toy, the Suspicious Chicken.
I have been interrogating and torturing the chicken for about 2 weeks now; one of his wings has been removed, and his fuzz is leaking out in some spots...but he is still being permitted to squeak.
This is the longest reprieve ever granted to one of my stuffie prisoners; his partner in crime, the so-called "Angry Cow", was...shall we say....'dealt with' in a matter of hours last month.
I didn't care much for his 'udder' disrespect of my position of authority. BOL! Get it? udder disrespect?! Hah! I kill me! Barrroooof!
