The Odd Couple

That's right...the two most opposite and odd dogs are forced to live together. We are just so glad they let us stay with them. Cooper is the oldest. He is the all black one on the right. We don't really know what breed of dog he is because we got him from the pound. We brought him home after our honeymoon in Dec. of 2004. He is not the smartest dog ever, but he makes up for it in compassion. He is always trying to lay on us or lick us to death. We love him. On the other end is Rueben. We got him about three months after Cooper. He is the one who is not fooled by the fake "treat" I am holding in my hand to get them to look at the camera. HE is a thinker. He's thinking, "Hurry up and take the picture because this dog really stinks aaaaaaaaand he's touching me!" Rueben is way too smart and still doesn't buy the whole "dog" thing. With his IQ comes his attitude. He constantly fights with Cooper and tries to get Lindsay's attention all the time. He gets very jealous. He also likes to try and lay on us, but only because Cooper tries. Through all their quirks and issues they really do help us make it through the tuff times. When Linds and I get mad at each other we just yell at the dogs and we feel much better...don't worry the dogs just look at us like, "Just let it out." They are a pain to take care of sometimes, but they are full of so much love that it's worth it!
