However, the not "speaking" thing is something we are still working on. He is not too bad most days, but occassionally he will sense everything outside and bark at any dog or person who walks by. He'll be dead asleep on my lap and then suddenly jump up and go nuts. I look out the window and there will be someone walking their dog by the house. I always can't believe he knows! |
Don't even get me started on ball obsession. I had to take away Cooper's ball for a month.
