Hey everyone! Cooper here again, I got my stitches out this morning!!! PAWTY TIME!!!! Doc says everything looks really good and that the new muscle in my right shoulder is good and strong. He was happy to see me walking so well, and everyone was very happy that I am well!
Monkeybutt, the doctor said I would look just plain silly with a skinny neck on top of my big muscular Newfy chest - so neener neener neener to you Monkeybutt! Fat necks rule!
Well, its weekend time again and mom and dad are home - we are putting up the Christmas tree this weekend! what a weekend!!!

Yea Coop!!! Thanks for the reason to party this weekend!!
Hey Coop's Mom and Dad- does Coop's tail clear the tree of ornaments?? I remember Bo-dog sending things flying every year. All the breakable ornaments had to be above tail height!!

you know, now that you mention it, Cooper does really well considering how big and bushy his tail is, and as everyone saw in the video that thing is always wagging. I cant remember him ever knocking stuff off the Christmas tree though. He doesnt mess with the tree either. he has never chewed or messed with anything. And we are all more than happy to give everyone a reason to celebrate! Hoppy stitches out day!!

It's wonderful to read that Cooper has his stitches out and is doing so well! We'll have to celebrate with some ice-cream tonight.
Regarding the Christmas tree, we will miss seeing Skyler walking around with a piece of tinsel stuck to her snout, as she ALWAYS sniffed everything on and under the tree.
