Happy Halloween!

I went to work as Cooper-bumble bee (killer bee). Top that!

Ok Hollywood producers, don't you see how versatile of a leading man I am?

CNN... what are you waiting for?

 This is so exciting!  I'm gonna be on TV!  Channel 5 called the Harvard Communications office and setup this interview with me for the Boston local news show, "Chronicle."  I had a camera crew in my face and lots of paparazzi (ie students) in the distance.

 Perhaps I really do need a manager? I think I can get used to all this fame! 

Watch out Anderson Cooper.  Cooper Anderson wants your job!

CNN... here I come!

Cooper gone wild!

I met a ton of new students yesterday.  They seemed to really enjoy my company.  I was a pretty busy guy.  But I have to admit, a little pup has to blow off some steam sometimes too!

I made a new friend during my break on the quad.  Let's hope he doesn't try to eat me.

My First Professional Photoshoot

"Look Innocent."

"Look away in the distance.  Give me something pensive Cooper."

My "come-hither" look.

Yoga goes to the dogs

I need to work on my Downward-facing Dog and my Tree. But overall, I'm a natural at this yoga stuff!

My own Fantasy Football Team!

The Crimson Coopers!

I'm so flattered.  One of my new buddies named their football team after little old me!

Now I have to cheer for Aaron Rodgers (and Tom Brady, of course)!

I need an agent.

That's me in the Harvard Gazette (and Mama too)!  I got a little bit busted for dragging her into my business, but she never stays mad at me too long!

Seriously though, I think I need an agent.

I think I'm getting famous!!

This is the current publication of The  Division of Medical Sciences Bulletin from Harvard Medical School.  As you can see, that's me on the cover!

Check it out for yourself: http://dmsbulletin.hms.harvard.edu/?p=1484

Ok Matt Lauer, when are you gonna call?  Maybe I might need to find time in the day to hire a publicist....

Hurricane Irene got me!

What the heck was that!? I had to use the potty and then that hurricane thing blew me away!

I earned a pillow!

Today was my workday. I came home pretty tired. Papa said, "Ok Coop, go ahead. On Thursdays, you can have a pillow too."

08/23/11 Back to work

Phheeew! I'm tired. At first I couldn't control my excitement when I saw all of my colleagues at the library. I happily ran around nonstop like a mad man! But of course, I then had to reel it in and focus on work. The new school year just started, so my first day back from vacay was a tough one: I saw 15 students in one session! --a record for me. I really hope this year's class won't request regular group-therapy sessions!

Cape Cod Sunsets

Sunsets over Cape Cod Bay are gorgeous!

Guys, I'm stuck

So I had this great idea to climb in Papa's beach chair....but then the tide came up! Uhhhhhhmm..help.

Surfing Cooper

Today I caught some waves! Then I played with my vacation-girlfriend Piper! Good times!!

Aaaaahh...this is the life

Now this is more like it!

Yesterday, Mama got me up at 5:30am just to make it back to the medical school for work. 5:30! Can you believe it? I was groggy during the ride to Boston, but I couldn't stop my tail from waggin when I saw the library.

But I gotta say, gettin back to Cape Cod just in time for sunset on the water today was awesome.

08-14-11 Vacay is awesome!

We had cake!! My Papa is one of U.S. News & World Report's Best Doctors 2011! Yaaaaaaay Papa!

After cake, things got even better...I got to run in the water and chase birds during low tide!

08-14-11 Dog Bar, here I come!

I made it! My favorite vacation spot ever! I get so excited at The Cape. Mama and Papa got a new rental on our usual beach and I love it! I have a great view of the ocean from our deck and we are steps away from the water. Tomorrow, I'm promised my trip to the Dog Bar. Hooray!!

Dog Bar!

I need a dog bar! Mama and Papa said they saw one at the Cape. You see, I met this mean lady at my work yesterday who kept saying "get the dog away from me. Keep the dog away from me."
Ouch! Emily said she regularly throws attitude around the library. But uhm, hello! I'm pretty cute.

Anyway, who knew that humans could be so prejudiced! I mean, "if thou pricks me, do I not bleed?"

Sure hope the Dog Bar is pure Vodka!

08-08-11 Happy Anniversary Mama & Papa!

Today's Mama and Papa's anniversary. I know; I was their ring-bearer.

Congratulations and lotsa love from Coopie!

I took a Vacation-Day! 7/28/11

Look at my lovely view from Aunt Mary's vacation rental!

I called in "sick" today.  Technically, I took a "personal" day.   My Anderson family are at The Cape, so Mama, Papa and I took a day-trip down to visit them.

I had so much fun running on the beach during low-tide!  Who knew that relaxing could be so tiring though!?

Relaxing is sooo tiring!

$100 Bribe !

This might compromise my journalistic integrity.

I got bribed!  I made my first $100 today!  Grandpa gave it to me so that I only put "approved" postings of him in my blog. Can you believe it?

Dear Cousin Casey, Cousin Dexter and Cousin Yoji:  Blogging can be lucrative!

Do I have to give it back Mama?

Twins!

Who's Danny DeVito?

I never saw the movie "Twins," but Papa said he and Grandpa look just like the guys from that movie!

Kennebunkport, Maine

I made it to Maine! That's me; that's the Bush Estate in the distance.    Hmmmmm....I'd really like to take a poops there.

7/19/11 Happy Birthday Grandma

My Grandma and Grandpa from California are here! Today was Grandma's birthday. I'm so excited! I've been expecting  their visit for a while. I had it all planned out : First we would go to The Medical School. I would show them around my work. Then after a long day, we'd all go out for a steaak dinner.

When they woke up (they're on California time), we drove to my work and we walked through campus to the Library. I led the way, of course. We got to the glass doors of my building and I told the guard, "They're with me." And Presto! They didn't need a Harvard ID to get by. I showed them my office and also all around the different floors of the library. They took lots of photos, so I think I made them proud.

At the end of my day, Mama and Grandma showed up to get me a bit early. I was with two clients, but left them immediately when I heard my ride was here to get me! Grandma said "Cooper did you say sorry for leaving early?" Oops! I ran back around the corner to them to say sorry and bye and sped back to Mama and Grandma amidst lots of laughter.

In the evening, the adults went to The Top of The Hub restaurant for a fancy dinner. I didn't get to go. So much for my dream of taking Grandma to a good ole steakhouse for her birthday!

Wanted: Harvard Therapy Dog Assistant

 I am exhausted!  Who knew that being a therapy dog to Harvard academics would be soooo tiring.  Don't get me wrong, I love spreading the cheer around the HMS campus, but phe-e-e-e-w, this gig is getting BUSY!  For example, did you know that I now have a "waiting list?"  Yup.  For any walk-in clients that would like to see me when I am already with a patron, they can add their name to the waiting list.

I think I might advertise for an assistant.  Wadda ya think? I mean, the deans and chiefs around here have vice-deans and vice-chiefs.  Why can't there be a Vice-Therapy dog?

Hmmm, an assistant wouldn't be a bad idea??

Score One for Cooper! Thursday, 7/14/11

I pulled a fast one on my colleagues!  Today was a particularly busy one in the office.  So I pulled the "gotta go to the bathroom"
excuse.  You all know how that goes, right?  Your boss asks you to do something you don't really want to do right now and you come up with the..."oh, I'm gonna just run to the restroom"  line.

For me, I just sat-pretty and waited for my buddies to take me out to the HMS quad to "go potty."  While out there, I took the liberty to run all over the grassy expanse and just enjoy the beautiful day!  Just when I thought I got away with a brilliant move,  I heard Emily telling Mama about my scam just as we were about to leave for home.

Hey, even a Therapy Dog needs a break once in a while!

July 4th!

I took Mama and Papa bike riding today! It's one of my favorite activities. Sunshine above and wind in my fur --it's a poor dog's convertible! We biked along the Charles River to the Esplanade to check out the July 4th festivities.

I thought I was in heaven; I could smell Italian sausages, funnel cakes, burgers and ribs.

Wanna know what I ended up with?   Nada. Zilcho! ...and Mama and Papa claim to love me?? Not so sure anymore.
