From the time Aaron was 6 years old, he has always wanted a puppy. Although his parents were never thrilled with the idea, he went to great measures to let them know just how desperate he was for a pup. He used his imaginary leash to walk the dog around the neighborhood and he even mowed a grassy patch that said "dog" in his front lawn. Still.... no dog was granted for Aaron. He started out wanting a Golden Retriever, then it changed to a pug in his middle school years, and from high school on he wanted a yellow lab. Today, May 5, 2010, Aaron's childhood dream came true. Cooper joined our family.
After driving two and a half hours to pick up Cooper and a few poop and potty accidents in the car ride, he is safe and sound in the Drake house. It brings me joy just knowing how happy and how long my wonderful husband has waited for this little Cooper!
Right before his first bath!

Cooper is SO ADORABLE! I'm so happy for you and Aaron. Labs are the best (though, I'll admit, I'm a little biased). Have fun! The joy will far outweigh the "teenage" years that are soon ahead of you (te-he). I want to meet him!!
Oh. my. goodness. He is SO cute! You will get a little taste of what it's like to have a newborn over the coming weeks, I'm sure. Good luck & enjoy :)!
Oh my GOSH! What a sweet little thing:) I got to talk to your mom at the farmer's market and it sounded like you're getting about as much sleep as I am these days! I hope the crate training goes well and that Cooper is a good little pup for you! ADORABLE!
