Well Cooper has been with us for a week now.  He loves to be around humans and seems to be having a great time with my 2 yr old goldie.   My niece and nephews (10, 8, 5) were over last week to play with him and he loved all the attention.

He is great on the leash. He is getting used to the gentle leader but it continues to be a bit challenging to get it on him. He thinks it's a game and wants to play tug.  We went for a short run today and he was great.  He will make a nice training partner for someone who likes to run.

Cooper continues to be curious about everything on the counter so I have started putting him in a kennel when I leave and at bedtime.  He does well in there.  No whining or excessive barking.

I gave him a bath with the hose today and he LOVES the hose.   I think he will be okay with indoor baths as well because every time he goes in the bathroom he likes to get in the tub!  Who knows what that is about.  He knows "sit" for the most part but would be much better if he had some formal training.

Here are some current pics...
