The New Curlydog - Cooper
Meet Cooper the new "Curlydog"
.....the pictures are from the shelters web cam, we will have more pictures soon(read that as "better pictures").
We decided we wanted to go with a rescue dug if at all possible, knowing how many animals are being turned into shelters as people struggle with the economy. So we called Chesapeake Bay Retriever Relief & Rescue about a dog they had in Atlanta that was just what we were looking for, Male and still young(about a year old), but Deacon was already adopted. However the folks at CBR Rescue pointed us to a dog they were trying to move out of a county shelter about 90 miles north of here. Male and 13 months old "Cooper" was on hold pending research of his microchip. After 3 days of calls back and forth the folks at the shelter had reached a dead end on the microchip, so we (Deb, Molly and I) went to see "Cooper" yesterday. He is absolutely beautiful and an incredible bundle of unbridled energy. I went back today to complete the adoption and we pick him up from the vet Monday evening (the shelter requires all purebreds to be neutered before delivery)
We are going to have our hands full, Cooper shows little signs of any real obedience training and is incredibly strong to go with all the energy. It's going be quite a change from our old girl, so stay tuned and we will continue to update you on Cooper's integration into the family.
