About My Dog — Cooper

In lieu of about me

In place of an About Me page, I’ve opted to write About My Dog, Cooper. Eventually I will find the fortitude to write about myself.

In the meantime —

If Cooper had a dating profile —

Chill, Dapper, Dog, Looking to Share Treats and Naps with Perfect Match

About Me:

My name’s Cooper! I’m a proud adopted shelter dog, an avid toy collector, and, if you ask my owners, I have a mysterious former life. As for my shady past, I do my best to get them, (Sandy and Sweetie), to focus on today. No use looking back at your tail. Right?

What you need to know —

Compassion

I’ll be brave and say, “I’m the sensitive type.” If you’re hurting, I’m there for you. My owners, Sandy and Sweetie, say they fell in love with me when I leaned on them at the shelter. That’s my thing, I lean on people. It’s even better than letting them pat you on the head. Leaning is the best way to say, I’m here if you need me. I hear them say, if I’d been a girl they would have named me Eileen.
