Rupert

We have a love/hate relationship with Rupert. He plays well with Cooper/he marks his territory. He's a good watchdog of sorts (as good as you can be when you weigh 4 pounds)/he marks his territory. He snuggles under the blankets and keeps your feet warm on a cold night/he marks his territory. But, he's part of our family, so he deserves a spot on the blog.

Rupert had a rough start. Blake gave him to me for my birthday in 05. He nearly died the first week we had him (no idea what was wrong with him) which would have been totally unbearable since we got him to replace the last yorkie dog that died only a few weeks before. But, Blake "nursed" him back to health by force-feeding him yogurt with an eye dropper.

Rupert's original name was Pooper. But, when I found out I was pregnant with a boy and we wanted to name the baby Cooper, we had to change the dog's name. We couldn't have a dog named Pooper and a kid named Cooper - too much confusion. So, Rupert was re-named for Stewie's teddy bear on Family Guy.

Actually, if anyone knows of a good home for Rupert, let me know. Keep in mind, he marks his territory.

Never mind, I can't give him away.
