As I understand it, our big orange dog - Cooper - is a German Shepherd and Saint Bernard mix. I say "as I understand it" because the information came to me secondhand from the shelter where Cheyenne and I adopted Cooper at five months old.

Our family dog Cooper loves the sound of his own bark. For the most part, he is the only one.

Embracing my inner Pollyana…
I scan the daily news online at InForum. Lately I have noticed that the Casey Anthony trial has been featured on the front page of InForum. I don't want to read that stuff. The fact that such a precious little life was snuffed out by her sociopath of a mother makes me sick. I don't [...]
