Life with Cole......one year later

 Cole became a part of our family on Dec. 27, 2013 so here we are nearly one year later.  There was certainly more of an adjustment period with Cole.  Mike describes him perfectly.  Mike likes to compare Cole to a fraternity brother.....a college boy with really good intentions but no manners and a really" DUH" demeanor.  You will often hear all of us saying, "Cole, come here ya big dope."  He's obsessed with food, he eats his own poop and Copper's too, he has no concept of personal space and he's down right obnoxious but even with all those character flaws, one look at the picture above and you'll know why we've kept him as a permanent part of our family.  Cole LOVES Nick and Nick loves Cole.  It took awhile to get that point.  In the beginning Cole annoyed Nick but over time Nick has truly warmed towards his dog and the two of them are like Jay and Copper, two peas in a pod. 
 Despite Mike's frustration with Cole, he enjoys him and Cole has provided our family with a lot of laughs through the year.  He's like an old man who doesn't know he's funny.  Cole perches (hence the picture above) while Mike pets his neck.  He loves it.  Cole has been known to literally fall over from being petted.  He's like one of fainting goats.......all of the sudden he's sitting and the next thing we know he's on the ground! 
And I just threw this picture in, just because.  I thought it was super cute of Jay and Nick........Mike has a bit of a cheesy/fake grin but I like it anyway.
