Growing Up Copper

3 months old

7 months old

So, I'm growing up and I think some one needs to tell MommaBear that we might need a bigger couch soon! Does she think I'm still a little puppy? I'm 7 months old already. I'm not a puppy anymore. I'm a big doggy! But everyone keeps calling me "the puppy". All I know is this couch seems to be getting smaller and no one is doing anything about it. And then they push me and move my feet around when I'm on there first and I'm all comfy just because they want to sit down too. I guess it's nice that they want to snuggle with me all the time. My Daddy lets me lick his face and then he rubs my tummy. I used to be able to fit on his lap and now I can only fit half of me on him. I think he's shrinking with the couch.

We had lots of rain last week. Daddy called it a hurricane, whatever that is. MommaBear and I went out in it one day and I got to run around in the water that was all over the grass. MommaBear said I was crazy, but she was out there with me so what does that say about her? She played in the water too and made little roads for the water to go in. I tried to help but she wouldn't let me. I don't know why. I can dig in the dirt, too. And I'm pretty good at it if I do say so myself. Anyway, after we played in all the water we went inside to dry off. I love that part - complete body rub with a nice dry, fluffy towel. Then we had a snack and she put my big brown blankie on the shrinking couch and zzzzzzzzzzzz...........
