DSC_5007

Well, not only has my pack moved to New Mexico, we also have a new addition to the family, and is she a cutie.  Besa is a New Mexico born and bred Border Collie! Guess, Sombra will be happy to have a true protégé.  Besa or "Bee" as Momma and Daddy call her is about ...

A couple of videos…

Hey everybody! Here are a couple of cool videos of me and my Momma. Check'em out and enjoy! Kooper Momma was gone for a few days and once she woke me up (using a gentle touch on the shoulder) look how happy I was! (~6.8Mb) It took me a few seconds to realize it was ...

Happy Endings!

My latest adventure is being selected for the 'Happy Endings' section of Dog Fancy magazine (I'll post a link when it's up on their site).  Daddy wrote and submitted an article to the magazine about my story.  I didn't help write this article like I do the journal entries, but I think Daddy did a ...

My Favorite Things

I thought I would share with you some of my favorite things in the whole wide world.  First of all, I love toys, lots of toys.  I guess that's the way it is with us boys.  Or so Momma says... Anytime I can I bring toys, or babies, to Momma or Daddy I do. Some ...

Good-bye Kailua

Kailua

My big sister Kailua crossed the rainbow bridge last summer. It was one of the toughest times in my human mom's life.  Kailua had blessed Momma's life for 13 years.  It was really tough for her to loose a dear companion. One of the hardest things about loving dogs is that humans have such a long ...

The ‘Fast and The Furriest’

imgp7287

In April, my humans and my little sister (Zane) and I participated in a 5K primarily benefiting the CSU Vet Hospital. Some friends of my humans joined us and even brought along their dog, Taku. Let me tell you, there were a whole lot of dogs there. My nose was working overtime! We had quite ...

My New Little Sister - Zane Grey

Hi everybody….guess what? I have a new little sister! Well, she actually isn’t so little. Her name is Zane Grey, but we all call her Zannie cause she is ZANNIE. She has pretty merle spots on her face that look like she put on make-up, Egyptian style. She is 9 months old, deaf, and weighs ...

Kooper Goes to Colorado

Wow, what a grand new adventure I am off on. We have moved from Arizona to Colorado. My humans both have new jobs in Colorado, and they decided to move the family (my sisters and me) up there. I realized that things might be different, or even difficult, but adventures are always fun. At first, ...

Dog Training

This fall my mom enrolled me in an obedience class at PetSmart. The class was for beginners and was made up of eight sessions. Our instructor Kat was so super fantastic I now call her sensei. There were five other dogs in my class: Abbey a Yorkie mix, Apollo a Golden Retriever, Dannie a Welsh ...

Second Chance Center for Animals

I thought I would share a little about the Second Chance Center for Animals with everyone. I spent two months here with my foster dad who works at this wonderful facility. My foster family at Second Chance loved me and helped me through a very difficult adjustment in my life. Every once and a while, ...

The ‘Ranch’

Wow, let me tell you about a cool place my momma calls the ranch. This is where she grew up and it is the coolest place on earth. There were horses, cows, cats, and even a stinky old elk. I barked at them all cause when I smelled them it was like nothing else I ...

Teaching a Blind Dog “Fetch”

fetch1

Well, believe it or not my human momma is teaching me to fetch. Yes, you read correctly. She is teaching a blind and deaf dog to fetch. She says I am really smart and can do just about anything I set my mind to. Now, I know I have my limitations like I can’t just ...

Pink Eye

Because I can’t see or hear I am a very sensitive woofie. When my humans touch me it means the world to me. But, I get scared when someone holds me really tight or close like when they have to put medicine in my eyes. My eyes are super sensitive and I don’t like them ...

Toofies

So, let’s talk about baby teeth. I am loosing all mine and let me tell ya, it has been an adventure. First of all my mouth really hurts, and I want to chew everything I can get a hold of. My humans are pretty smart though because they make sure I always have a squeaky, ...

A Snow Day!

We finally got snow on January 19th, 2006. My humans were very excited, but I didn’t know what the commotion was all about until I went outside, and, oh my gosh…I had never experienced snow. There was this fluffy, cold, stuff falling from the sky. It kept hitting me on my nose and ears, then ...

A Bit About Me

I would like to share a bit more about being a blind and deaf dog. Even though I am physically blind and deaf I don’t actually consider myself to be blind or deaf. I actually ‘see and hear’ with my other senses much better than a human can. I ask that you don’t feel sorry ...
