Linda-so very happy to hear your dad came through the treatments well.  Doesn't happen all that often, but when it does it certainly is a blessing. 

Dineen-now that i've had Cooper for a night, I'll come! JK--we're headed up to Minocqua tomorrow afternoon with crazy boy.  Nothing like taking a two day old routine and changing it.

Kyla--I do pick him up and he already starts peeing a little bit.  My phrase "go potty"!

Cooper's going on a road trip today, to the vet and to see my mom in the assisted living facility. Good luck to me.

Linda - that's wonderful news about your dad!

Suzy - Cooper may have more luck getting outside when he gets used to you. He may just be so excited/relieved that you're getting him out of the crate that he can't hold it.

Mark - congratulations on the weight loss and continued progress on the running!

Dino/Suzy - Brrrrr! Sounds like fun, though!

And for the Wed question, no racing for me and I don't wear minimalist shoes because what I'm using (neutral cushioning shoe) works for me.

From Wikipedia: "Canstar Sports Inc., the parent company of hockey product manufacturer Bauer Hockey, acquired the hockey division of Cooper in 1990, and was itself acquired by Nike five years later." Remember the Cooperalls?


Only Hartford and Philly could pull those off!  The guys must have loved management for making them wear those for a couple of years!  Fortunately, a little before my time.  





Just because you posted a pic of a Whaler in Cooperalls, I will post one for you in socks. Can't believe you wouldn't post this guy too!!

SSMinnow - 2010-10-20 6:58 AM For dog people, when I take Cooper out of his crate to go to the bathroom he pees on the floor or me before I can get him outside.  The book I read said puppies really dont have full bladder control until they're 16 weeks (he's 12 weeks).  Is that true? is there anything I can do to make this problem go away sooner? or give him a fighting chance to hit the grass?


suz what you're telling me is he does have pretty good bladder control.  he's learned that the crate is his home so he's not going to pee until he gets outside of it.  i think you just need to take him outside a bit more often.  its a pain for the first week or two but he'll figure it out.

another thing, as soon as you see him start to sniff around some where for more than a few seconds, get him outside.

he'll pick it up soon enough.  and there will always be accidents. maybe months or years apart as he matures.  try not to get to mad at him when it happens.  cooper doen't have "problems" suzy.  but he's got an awesome owner. ;-)





Will he pee if you are carrying him? You could try carrying him until he's outside, then put him down and praise like crazy when he goes!!

Also, now is a good time to start shaping behavior for a "GO POTTY NOW" command of your choosing. Pick one you are comfortable with using in public. I use "hurry up!" A friend uses "Do your business," (and then it's funny to hear the praise, "Goooood business!"). Anyway, this can come in handy in the future and is easy to train now.


We have an area on the side of our house that is little pee gravel. We trained our dog to go there. And yes praise like crazy.

I looked for a picture of Kevin Dineen in Cooperall's but couldn't find one.  After a quick e-mail or two within the family I understand he missed that debacle by a couple of years.  His older brothers Gord and Peter were in the NHL during the right time frame, but played on teams who never wore them.

Although, I think Dad Bill might have been coaching the Philly Flyers one year in the Cooperall days.  I will have to ask him the next time we talk.

Sucks that both my Whalers and my North Stars have moved.  I must be a crappy fan and still consider myself an orphan!!!

I almost posted of him and his Dad in the Philly days that looked like they both had cooperalls on. But i think it really was just black pants. 

But oh ya back in the day Cooperalls were the 'coolest' thing. When they first came out, if you had a pair you were the 'rich' kids.

John said something about a hamburger, and it made me want a hamburger. Like my dog drooling when I open the dishwasher (she gets to "prewash" the dishes).

Lucky for me, hubby and I are going out for dinner tonight, so now I know what to get!

Since the last time I spoke on here I am down to 255 (273 was my last weigh in on BT). I am feeling really good and only have about 30 lbs left. My clothes are already ridiculously big.


AWESOME!

TOTALLY AWESOME Mark.

Congrats on your dad's treatment, Linda, that is great news. 

Gosh, I sure am glad I brought lunch today (zucchini and chicken breast stir fry over rice leftovers).  That picture of the burger/fries would have sent me right over to the corner deli.  Wait.  now it is John's avatar...I will have to look at it everyday!!!  Julia-see what you have done.

I think that's Trevor, the other pot-stirring troublemaker. Is this the right picture? I didn't want to go through all the old posts to check. Maybe this should be John's new avatar.
