Cooper, age 3

As you can see, I had a wonderful Christmas with my family and friends. Santa brought me tennis balls, new toys and this cool Patagonia hat. Like most humans, I enjoyed one too many treats over the holiday. I love food so much that I’ll even finish my family’s leftovers. I’m now tall enough to reach the bottom of the kitchen sink with my snout. If you need me to, I’ll make sure your plate has been licked clean prior to going in the dishwasher. I even know how to open the kitchen trash cabinet, but don’t worry, I rarely get caught eating trash. The cabinet closes all by itself! My New Year’s resolution is to lose the holiday weight by playing fetch with my brothers, Linden and Luca. I also enjoy when my dad takes me to the “Ant Hills” at Terry Hershey Park. Gotta go, I see a squirrel invading my backyard.
