“Leans his whole body on you, doesn't know he's big”
I'm Cooper. I came in as a stray with no chip, but I settled in fast. I lean on people. A lot.
Please don't
•Don't let him jump into the car on his own yet, he tried and yelped.[4]
•Don't turn your back around food, he counter surfs the second you do.[4]
What I'm like
Settling in
•When I first came in I leaned my whole body on the person doing my paperwork.[1]
People
•I don't know I'm a big dog, I'll still try to get in your lap.[3]
•I take treats gentle, lips only, no teeth.[3]
Comfort and quirks
•If you say my name while I'm sleeping I'll wag without even opening my eyes.[2]
Still working on
•I need to be lifted into the car for now, I tried jumping in myself and it went wrong.[4]
•I counter surf the second you turn away.[4]
I'm goofy and I lean and I don't have great awareness of my own size, but I'm gentle with it. Just lift me into the car and watch your counters, and we'll get along fine.
