Here's an update on our foster dog "Cooper" that we provided for the CCDR http://www.c2cdr.org/ website (Coast-to-Coast Dachshund Rescue), and some brand new (this morning) photos of Cooper!
Cooper is extremely well-mannered, house trained, and affectionate. He loves being around people, and follows us around the house. He knows commands, like "Come" and "Sit." We're teaching him to sit on his bed with our other dogs during dinner time. He's extremely patient, and loves dinner time, but is still building an appetite after all his dental surgery - which is healing well.
He knows when to go out, and goes to the door. He sleeps through the night, and loves his bed. He also enjoys exploring in the fenced-in backyard with our other 2 dogs (Franklin and Dolly). He lays on their bed with them as well, back-to-back. He also enjoys looking out the window to see people, birds or squirrels.
He doesn't like to go up more than 5 or 6 stairs, and waits to be carried. But he'll go down them!
Cooper is on antibiotics until mid-March, to clear up the infection that was in his mouth when the rescue found him and brought him to the animal hospital. He's recovering very well. He also has a heart murmur, so he's on medication once a day for the rest of his life, but the Animal hospital has agreed to keep sending it to his owner for a reduced cost.
He has fit right in with our dogs, and will fit in with any dogs or people. He's very mild-mannered, and although hasn't been exposed to children, we're sure he'll love them. He seems to love everyone! He is so easy to care for and so lovable!
