Cooper Update/ Coughing Rob / Crappy Weather

Happy Saturday! It's weekend of THREE "C's": Cooper, Coughing and Crappy (weather).
UPDATE ON FOSTER DOG: COOPER
Cooper weighs 18 pounds now. He gained 1.5 pounds from all the baby food and pedigree soft food (and soft treats). He's now able to eat dry kibble mixed half with wet canned dog food (he has some back teeth). He now gets excited when we come home or ask if he wants to go for a walk. He shows it by jumping off his front feet several times (keeping his back feet on the ground). He also likes to cuddle up under our arms if we're laying on the floor watching television.
ROB'S CONSTANT COUGH: Tomorrow marks 2 weeks being sick for me. Flu and upper respir. infection are gone, but Bronchitis persists, and so does the damned cough. Learned that I need to sleep on my back to NOT cough at night. Thank goodness for "breathe right nose strips" so I don't snore (much).
MORE CRAPPY WEATHER: We've got a stalled front on top us all weekend, meaning more COLDER THAN NORMAL TEMPS again (and scattered showers). It's been since Nov. 1st that we've had "colder than normal temps" every day with the exception of MAYBE 10 days. All due to La Nina still in the eastern Pacific Ocean, causing Canadian air to dip over the east coast. The pattern is FINALLY expected to break next week, putting is NEAR or slightly over normal for high temps. That means highs of 53 next week, not 41 (like this weekend).
BONUS PICTURE: I took this photo of Dolly's profile this morning. She's such a beautiful girl and so loving. She's been with me all the time during my sickness these last 2 weeks.
