Introducing Cooper!!

As much as I wish I could say he was our new puppy...he now belongs to my parents! Cooper is 3 months old, and a complete cutie pootie ball of wrinkles who I absolutely adore.
He is a rescue from the local shelter who was scheduled to be euthanized because he contracted the parvo virus. Thankfully the Detroit Animal Welfare Group felt he was worth saving because they amazingly took him out, got him to the vet and a now a few weeks later, here he is...happy and healthy!!

M: I still have to cut it O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, just leave it ok! Leave them all. I can do it. M: how? you don't know how to use the clippers. O: like this! (as she attempts to put her toes in her mouth and act like she biting the nails off) M: that's just wrong....not to mention disgusting. I need to cut them. Please give me your foot. O: (as nervous as be) just wait a minute.....**big sigh**....(gr
