Cooper and Teddy

Teddy and Cooper were both former fosters from here. Their tenure as fosters overlapped for some time and they were adopted separately but ultimately both to the same home. That was especially fortunate for Teddy, a shy beagle sort of dog who probably has an autism disorder of some sort. He had attached himself to Cooper, an outgoing and gregarious American Bulldog, and they made a canine Odd Couple. Maybe they were more like George and Lennie from Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" but whatever they are, it's a good relationship for both. 

Sparky had buried a bone and a few toys in
his kennel. Cooper and Teddy found them all.

Their adopter has been out of town for a few days but will be coming home on Tuesday. They will be back again for a few more days in another week or so, hopefully in warmer weather. I gave them Sparky's kennel and Sparky moved to the dog yard with Barkley. That was fine for the most part, but Sparky and Trooper had a run in so I'm keeping those two apart. Having fewer dogs makes that possible.
