Poor Cooper

For my birthday Jake got me a Nintendo DS; and not just a regular ol' blue or silver one like you get in the US. He had a pretty pink one shipped from Hong Kong. It cost an extra $29 but it got here in record time. Would you believe only 2 days after he ordered it there it was on my front porch. But that was not my only present. He also got me Nintendogs. For any of you who don't know what that is, it is exactly what it sounds like. It is a game for the DS where you raise dogs. You can train them and they recognize the sound of your voice. They respond to their names and will do any command you have taught them. I've got a girl Chihuahua I've named Daisy and a boy Boxer I've named Duke. I'm thinking that for my next dog I will name him Boss Hog. Anyway, I am loving the game but I think it is really confusing Cooper. Since you have to say the commands out loud, if Cooper is around, he will do them when I say them and if I don't acknowledge his actions he goes and hides under the couch, where he sits and pouts the rest of the night. I just can't wait till I unlock the Jack Russell Terriers in the game...then my plot to replace Cooper with an animal that has a chill out switch will be complete. Of course I am only kidding...I could never replace my adorable little spastic Cooper.
