Cooper, Our Cover Dog

Name: Cooper

Hometown: Flagstaff, Arizona. I was adopted from Coconino Humane Association in 2012, when my Mom found me at the Rescue Round-Up at Wheeler Park.

Age: 14

Favorite brand of kibble: I don’t eat kibble anymore since I’ve had some teeth pulled. I usually eat a blend of fresh, dehydrated or raw turkey. 

Favorite people food: Apples, bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. My Dad makes fresh juices every day, and he shares. 

Favorite toy: Sockies! I think it’s fun to steal my Mom’s clean socks and throw them around the room before she puts them on so they’re just a little wet. 

Favorite outdoor activity: Walkin’ in the woods and lizard hunting. 

Favorite indoor activity: Watching any version of Jeopardy. I love the sound of Triple Jeopardy on Pop-Culture Jeopardy. 

Favorite nap spot: In Mom’s office. She made a spot for me right behind her chair. 

Fitness regimen: Daily walkin’s. I like to keep a steady trot. We usually cover one to three miles each day. It really helps that Mom is a Reiki Master and doggy massage therapist, so I get all kinds of healing work. 

Describe your perfect canine pal: Must have a sense of humor. Must be chill, grounded, and kind.

Describe your perfect day: The best dog days are when we get go to this small mountain-town in Colorado where all we do is sleep, eat, and hike every day.
