Name: Captain Cooper
Hometown: Prescott, Arizona. But I was born on July 4th on a reservation north of Flagstaff. I have six siblings, and they named us after the seven dwarfs.
Age: I am two years old and learning so much from my Mom and her friends and neighbors.
Favorite brand of kibble: My Mom feeds me Blue Buffalo, dry and wet, but my favorite treats are Broth Bones! I love my kibble but now I have my Mom sprinkle some cheese on it. If she doesn’t, I sniff and walk away or wait patiently for the cheese. I have trained my human very well.
Favorite people food: Potato chips and grilled cheese sandwich!
Favorite toy: Anything that squeaks and crunches. I grab one and run out to the back yard and throw it in the air and then pounce on it to make noises. I love antlers and BulliBones.
Favorite outdoor activity: Hiking in the forest (chasing lizards, squirrels, and anything that moves) with my Mom and her best friend, Sue ,and her dog Mozy. I also love my evening walks in my Astoria Community as I get to see all the neighbors and they pet me and give me treats. Sometimes my Mom’s friend Marcia and Scott take me for walks around the Astoria Community in Prescott Lakes with their grand-baby Marissa. She gives me lots of love and treats. I like all the humans where I live.
Favorite indoor activity: Playing laser-chase with my Mom or harassing Sadie Lou the cat. I also like when my Mom has me play Find It or dog puzzles, lots of snacks are involved in this activity.
Favorite nap spot: Backyard in the sun, of course
Fitness regimen: Hiking, snacks, sleep, repeat!
Describe your perfect canine pal: I have some great canine playmates. Rocky is fun. He has a big back yard, and I can run in crazy circles, getting him to chase me while his Mom and my Mom drink wine. Shelby is a blast, she has a great yard too, and her Dad, John, gives us lots of treats and we play all afternoon. And of course my cousins Dino, Pebbles, and Bernie are fun, and my hiking pal Mozy is the best.
Describe your perfect day: Snuggles with Mom on the bed in the morning. Catching lizards on our walks around the Prescott Lakes Community. Going on long mile hikes (five and ten miles) with my Mom and her best friend, Sue, and her dog, Mozy. And snuggling with my Mom at night after a long day of hiking. I love to go on walks and hikes.
