my latest buzz

The Cobb family just grew from 2 to 2.5. We have a new little boy in our house.

Meet Copper.

Copper is a Brittany puppy. He is so sweet, and he is growing fast. We brought him home at six weeks old (two weeks ago), so we have gotten a small taste of what it’s like to have a toddler. We are training him in every way–waking up several times a night for bathroom lessons, “sit” and “no”, and the classic game of fetch, of course. He is a smart and loving pup, and we are a little obsessed.

This next picture warms my heart. It is everything that is right in my world. :)

Copper talk:

Likes: my toys (especially my green tennis ball), furniture (although mom and daddy tell me I can’t chew on it), getting up early in the morning to play, cuddling with mommy and daddy at night, having my belly scratched, running outside in the grass

Dislikes: bedtime, my crate, mom and daddy telling me “no”, the loud contractors across the street with all of their loud tools, the big dogs in our neighborhood

Copper will be appearing on the blog from time to time, so stay tuned!

Wishing my sweetie the best birthday ever. Wasn’t he a cute little boy? :)

Oh boy, am I excited about…

Happy 4th of July!

(Painting of Jasper Johns’. Beautiful.)

The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.  {John Adams}
