Cooper is hilarious with his car blanket. He has me wrap him up like a little Russian nested doll (like these) until he’s toasty warm, and then he likes to slide the blanket off his head and sit with it around his shoulders like a prize fighter.
This is from our trip to Albany over the holidays. Not pictured here is the barf from when Cooper puked in the car…….EW.

When it starts getting cold out, I take pity on Cooper and let him grow a bushy little winter coat. When you’re 10lbs, you need all the help you can get.
The one problem with his longer fur is how BAD Cooper starts to smell in a remarkably short amount of time. We’re talking mere hours here….
So, that means one thing – bathtime!!! And courtesy of the poodle in his bloodline, Cooper turns into a little curly-haired creampuff, and you get to laugh at it.
Enjoy the cuteness.
The thing with Cooper and photo shoots….

Cooper, being his usual helpful self, decided to help out during a headshot today.
As you can see, “helping” involved playing with his Paradigm Plumbing & Heating frisbee so intensely he ended up caught in it.
**Note Matt’s “What the heck are you doing?” hand**

"How did you get caught in your frisbee, Cooper?"
Bonus photos after the jump (click link to view).

Cooper and I do a lot of hiking. For all that he’s a pipsqueak, he is a little trooper and has no problem physically doing the hikes, even the really hard ones.
The one issue he has is body temperature. He has to hike in a little parka, and when he gets wet he starts shaking uncontrollably while the bigger dogs are fine.
Yesterday he was literally scaling sheets of solid ice in freezing temperatures, so three-quarters of the way back down I took pity on his little shaking frame and shoved him infant-style into my outer fleece.
**Note**
Normally the photos on the blog are of good quality, given that I am a professional photographer and graphic designer by trade. This photo was taken with my iPhone by my hiking mate Amanda, at the end of eight and a half miles of solid ice, huge rocks, and freezing temperatures.
I guess what I’m saying is, forgive the quality (thanks, Amanda!) and enjoy the photo!

Cooper, being a smart little bugger, loves going to Dunkin’ Donuts because they always send him on his way with a Munchkin. As the Munchkin is already the size of his snout, we split it (I don’t want to pop his arteries…I get a lot of Dunkin’ Donuts), usually when we get back to the office.
