Abby & Cooper

We went to visit family in Longview for Mother's Day, and I snapped a few shots of Saoirse's cousin-pups, Abby and Cooper.

Abby is a mischievous Golden Retriever who loves to steal dish towels, is fiercely protective of her dad (Bryan), and parades around with her tail waving in the air like a flag. Cooper is a shy Flat-coated Retriever mix who loves to nap in his hideout, adores being in his mom's (Shelley's) lap, and would be an excellent agility dog (if it weren't for his crippling fear of being seen).

Saoirse loves to give Abby a hard time and chase Cooper around the yard. When we get back home, she always pouts and sighs in boredom for the next couple of days. It's a hard life being a pup!
