This morning, I took the worst dog in the world on a walk with our friend Sheri. I say "our" friend because Sheri is one of those people who loves dogs and when Cooper jumps up and tries to lick her back molars she says things like "Sorry buddy." She thinks he is so special. I think he is a menace.
Anyway, on our way back home Cooper found a 14 inch completely smashed frozen squirrel carcass that he immediately picked up in his mouth and started walking with. Sheri and I were both gagging and I just knew he was going to start chomping and chewing on that freeze dried bit of decaying animal. But guess what?
I told him to "leave it".....AND HE LEFT IT!!!
He dropped that dead squirrel and kept on walking!
I was stunned.
It has never worked before and may never work again, but this morning....Cooper dropped a dead squirrel when I told him to and there was a party on Falcon Drive. Sheri and I both loved on him so hard and he was very confused. It was epic!
Hooray for Cooper!
Then he came home and jumped up and bit my hand when I took off his leash. I think he was mad our walk was over and was jumping up to grab his leash but also chomped my hand. No permanent damage, but it hurt. Jerk Face.

Thanks for a good laugh. Cooper "the wonder dog". How many dogs can find a 14 inch frozen squirrel and take it for a walk. I guess that's his version of our popsicles. His mood swings really are significant. Going from giving puppy kisses to biting the hand that feeds him. He might have changed his mind about ending the walk so he bit you. I bet he still wanted a lick at the dog popsicle. love your stories, keep them coming.
