Copper, the Dog of the Day
Name: Copper
Age: One year old
Gender: Female Breed: Bernese Mountain Dog
Home: Lambertville, New Jersey, USA
 
   My name is Eric, and this is a picture of my dog Copper at ten weeks old. She is much bigger now, but just as cute. She is a Bernese Mountain Dog and we live in the hills of Lambertville New Jersey. She was born on February 16, 2005. Copper is special because she has brought laughter, joy, and love to a family who could really use it.

    Copper is the epitome of casual, and will casually sit wherever she pleases. The word "Stress" is not in her vocabulary. She has no idea of her size and weight and is known for clearing a coffee table with one fell swoop of her tail. If I had to describe Copper in two words it would be affectionately clumsy. Her favorite thing to do is to chase the water coming out of the end of the hose, and what better game to play on a hot summer afternoon? She also enjoys a good snuggle... anytime... anyplace. Copper is independently affectionate. Sometimes she is in full snuggle mode and other times she is content doing her own thing. Copper really loves being off lead in the woods, she is the ultimate hiking partner, and is eager to follow me over any terrain. I do a lot of Bouldering, which is rock climbing on boulders found in local parks and recreation areas. A lot of time these boulders are stacked around one another offering many routes to the top. Copper is so at home in this environment that she finds her way to the top by bounding from rock to rock. Many times she has even beaten me to the top. Copper truly a high spirited, chill dog. She is a wonderful pet and a terrific companion.
