Cooper's Grandma Joan and Grandpa Doug sent him a "Welcome to the Family" card and then Grandma Joan sewed (with love) three snoods for him! Here are two photos of Cooper wearing his snood for the first time.
For those of you who are still asking yourselves "What the heck is a snood?", it keeps the dog's ears from falling into the food bowl and getting yucky. You can buy snoods, but they wouldn't have the personal handmade touch that Cooper's have. Cooper's snoods are made of fabrics with dogs, Terps logos and oranges on them (apparently there aren't Syracuse University logoed fabrics in Maryland, so oranges had to do!). Here's a shot of the other two snoods.
Cooper also got a fourth snood in the mail from his Great-Uncle Alan, Great-Aunt Lisa and his cousin Jennifer. They also sent Cooper a bag of rawhides, which he loves, and a couple bully sticks, which he REALLY loves! Here's a photo of Cooper with his first bully stick (don't ask me what it's made of because I have no idea...I just know they smell awful when they're being chewed!).
Cooper thanks his extended family for all of the wonderful gifts -- and says he can't wait for Grandma Joan and Grandpa Doug's visit next week so he can get some more presents! :)
