Cole

Cole is our "middle child."  He is 100% Mike's dog.  We got Cole about 9 months after we got Copper.  Getting another dog was Mike's idea.  Cole was 4 mos old when we got him, still a puppy but house trained.  It was not love at first sight especially with Mike.  He complained that I had picked out a "defective" dog.  Mike had several struggles with Cole as to who was in charge.  Finally after what was a challenging first year Cole and Mike's relationship evolved into full blown obsession - on Cole's part.  Cole is the most loving dog we have and will probably ever have.  He has such a sweet soul.  His favorite place to be is on Mike's lap and if he can't be on Mike's lap, he wants Mike petting him.  His safe space is sitting right between Mike's legs so he can lovingly gaze up at him.  No kidding.  It's a weird thing Cole and Mike have going on but it seems to work for them.  He eats poop, gobbles down his food as if it's his last meal and is scared to death of thunder but Cole is ours and we love him, quirks and all.
