Copper

I was checking out the Safe Sanctuary's listed dogs one night, and Copper jumped out to me and said choose me.  They were having an adoption day the next day so I contacted the owner of Safe and asked her about him.  We went the next day and met him and that was the end of our one dog household.   
 He is a very mellow dog, the cats are a little scared of him.  I think its because he is so much bigger than Halley
 We discovered shortly after we were home that he had a BAD case of the flees.  I have no idea how the previous owners didn't notice.  It was bad.  Luckily I had meds on hand to treat him with.  By the next night they were all gone.  We did a lot of cleaning, in the house and on him.  It's not easy lifting an 80 lb dog into the bath tub:)
 Alexis immediately fell in love...
 We did a little photo shoot since we were out there:)


We are definately going to be in trouble with this one...
 
Copper is one of the most mellow dogs I have ever known.  He doesn't run much and only barks when the doorbell rings.  We found out a few weeks ago that he has a thyroid problem so we have him on meds for that.  Which has perked him up a little bit.  He has started to taunt the cats.
