Update from Josh Phillips
The Coop had another good week. More learning the rules of the road at
the Phillips ranch. He's been coming to work with me every day. The guys
at the office have excepted him as our resident mascot.
Weather was
wonderful last week so Boone showed him where the pond was and that
it's perfectly fine to trot down to the water and take a dip whenever
you please. Also it must be the best drinking water a dog can drink...as
soon as the ice is off, water bowls are basically unacceptable to use
as a form of hydration.
Walks in the woods are becoming longer and
more enjoyable. He's figuring out that I'm boring and there's much more
to see and smell than chewing at my heels.
The farm cat has lost all
patience with coop. At this point he's unable to defend his own food
bowl. You can see the expression in his face as he waits for her to get
her fill of puppy chow..."some day cat, some day this will end!" But a
quick lunge at Coop and his tail is tucked and scampering off to Boone
for protection.
