The Cooper Chronicles

Enjoying some lovely weather these past few days! Things look to turn very chilly starting tomorrow 🥶

It's a warm day in Del Rio. Follow Cooper's lead here, wash your paws and practice social distancing!

Please use common sense and be safe everyone!

It's been awhile since our last post. Over the past month we transitioned from Michigan to Texas where we'll be for four months.

We started in Springfield, IL to finally complete our pilgrimage to see Abe. The museum, his home, and his tomb have been on our list for a long time, all are very well done!

Off to Missouri for the first time for both of us. We had St. Louis style pizza and some beer named Bud while walking our favorite subject around the sites of the city.

From St. Louis to Kansas City for some awesome BBQ and a stop to see Truman's home and farm in nearby Independence. We were fortunate to see the Big Boy on its anniversary tour too.

Christine had orientation in OKC and along the way we stopped in Tulsa. Tulsa has a great riverwalk too.

We left Michigan in the snow and had more snow in Missouri, and have now settled in the desert. Snow is very rare here and we hope there's plenty of warm weather to come (80's last weekend).

We hope to explore South Texas while we're here, and we'll keep you updated with photos of your favorite FB friend, Cooper.

Today is Cooper's 5th Birthday!!!

We can't believe he's been shedding on our lives for 4 years now. He's had quite a week, especially in the treat department. He's currently destroying the empty peanut butter jar, it'll be gone by the time you finish reading this. He got a little pork chop gnaw last week. He also got pumpkin treats and new toys (note the hands-free tug).

The final picture is Cooper cheering on the runners at the Chicago Marathon. He was wearing a cowbell, which he didn't like. He kept shaking his head trying to get it off, which only made it ring. Hilarious!

We have one more week in Michigan (it's supposed to snow on our last day here), and then we are heading south to Del Rio, TX. We will be stopping in Springfield, IL to complete our Lincoln pilgrimage and Springfield, MO to visit Wilson's Creek. Pictures and updates to follow.

Happy Halloween everyone!
