One thing I love about Cooper is how he never complains about anything. He just spent a week in solitary confinement (i.e., boarding at vet) while the rest of the family took a nice vacation. He was away from his toys, his bed, our furniture, his house, his family... and unsure as to when he was coming home (or if he was even coming home again). Nevertheless, he arrived back with a smile on his face, his tail wagging and uncontrollable joy as he ran around his castle making sure all was well. He wasn't angry at us, he wasn't holding a grudge-- he didn't complain about one single thing. Sure I wish he would have talked a little more about his experiences over there but he just wanted to get right back into his routine and snuggle up to the radiator near his bed and have the 5 of us pet and kiss him and tell him how much we missed him. Two stars for being such a good boy!
