Copper 4 yr chocolate female

Happy New Year!

Jan 3rd

And guess what? I’m not afraid of Fireworks!

Foster Mom decided I needed a bath, since I’m all healed from my surgery!  Since I’m so small and barely shed any hair I get bathed in the bathtub…Oh lucky me:(  

Can you tell I’m not loving this? But I was good, I never tried to jump out and put up with the warm bubbly water. Now I smell so good, everyone keeps sniffing me, and I know the other Labs here are laughing at me. They can’t get baths because it is about 10′ degrees outside. They are talking and laughing about me smelling like flowers, Oh boy, the things I put up with!

I’m still needy and love pets and attention but I run in the woods now and take trail hikes with the other dogs. I love Stella, the yellow Lab that lives here, she plays with me and wrestles with me too.  stella movie  click

Foster Mom says I need another dog with the same energy level when I get adopted, I would not be happy alone. I keep hoping FM will keep me,  I’m being so good and learning so fast and I have my paws crossed she lets me stay. Foster Dad rolls his eyes when anyone mentions the “flunking” word, but we know who the boss is around here, about dogs anyway.

Check back soon, I hear the Brookline break will be over soon and things will start happening.

Love Copper or Copperfield as Fm calls me 🙂

Yesterday Copper had a great eval at the ortho, who said she can heal the rest on her own. No more water therapy! So today Copper was spayed. She came home with a lot of cries of either discomfort or confusion from the drugs. I think she does not do good on Tramadol
So sad, Copper is once again acting scared and looking away when we approach her, like she did when she first arrived. This poor girl has been thru so much pain in the last few months.
For those who have interested families, Copper will be available in January. We are looking into a meet and greet for  anyone to come and meet her. She is very timid and needy but a sweet girl who needs lots of love!

 This gentle petite girl is a treasure and the family that adopts her will be so lucky to have her in their lives. She sits loyally at your feet and will put her head on your knee. If you let her, as Mike does, she will snuggle on the couch with you too.

Copper continues to amaze us as she acclimates herself to our home. She loves my dogs and here is a video of Copper and Stella playing. Copper video

She is great with my dogs and I’m hoping to place her with another dog. She craves attention, she will continue to nudge your hand over and over for more pets. We are working on this as it can be a nuisance. She is wonderful in the house, sleeps thru the night, eats well and is great on the treadmill for her water PT. She is VERY strong on the leash, for the little bit she weighs she is strong like a ox on the leash!

Copper had her check up and staple removal yesterday. She was such a good girl, even though the last staple was painful coming out. The Dr. said she is doing great and she is allowed to do anything now to build her muscles. No more restrictions. We have home exercises to do and Copper will do water therapy for three weeks then re-evaluate.  This sweet chocolate girl will make a family very happy some day soon!
