The Cooper Chronicles: Red Guy/Amazon Edition

As I sit here writing Cooper’s Chronicles, I often wonder if his daily shenanigans are unique to my house… or if my neighbours—who see everything—are quietly discussing me.

Picture this:
I get up to let him out every 15 minutes.
Three minutes later, I’m back up to let him in.
Except he’s sitting on the deck.

So I open the door.
And he just sits there.
Staring at me.
Like I’ve personally wronged him.

That’s when I realize it—
Red Guy.
His emotional support ball.
Trapped. Again. Same spot. Just beyond physics. Just out of reach. At this point I’m sure he’s doing this on purpose.

Sometimes I close the door and hope he figures it out. He never does. If I don’t rescue Red Guy, Cooper becomes completely frantic, so it’s honestly best for everyone if I just leave him outside until the situation is resolved.

He loses Red Guy daily.
He always knows exactly where he left him… he just cannot retrieve him himself. So he comes to get me. I am staff.

Amazon drivers?
Hate. Cooper.

He hides behind the front hall wall so when they drop a package, they’re immediately greeted by a HUGE German Shepherd head in the window and a whole lot of “GET THE F** OFF MY PROPERTY!”*

(Yes, Cooper swears sometimes. He learned it from me. And he’s unapologetic about it. )

I then love watching them run down the driveway at Mach 10. On ice. Zero fear. Full confidence. Like Cooper can open the door and give chase.

Which leads me to my final, very serious question:

Is it always the same Amazon driver?

Because at that speed, running for their life down an icy driveway… they all kind of look the same.

Serious answers only. 🙄🐾

Public Service Announcement from the (soon to be - move over Mark) Mayor of Barrhaven

For those new here, a few important facts about Cooper:

• He owns every driveway.
• He personally patrols every street.
• Other dogs are guests at best.
• Squirrels are criminals. All of them.
• Backyard time should occur approximately every 7 minutes.
• Outside = ball required. Emotional support ball is non-negotiable.

He goes nowhere without his ball.
Not outside.
Not inside.
Not to supervise me doing literally anything.

If the ball is missing, we stop everything until it is recovered.
Under the deck.
In a snowbank.
Behind furniture.
Sometimes in places physics cannot explain.

He is highly trained, incredibly intelligent, from elite working bloodlines…
…and still drops his ball just out of reach and waits for me to solve it like it’s a character-building exercise.

He watches.
He judges.
He waits.

And when the ball is finally retrieved?
He prances away like royalty while I question my life choices.

Vote Cooper for Mayor 2026.
Because he already runs the town.
And I’m just the lowly assistant trying to keep up. 🐕‍🦺👑

🚨 MANDATORY WISH LIST ALERT 🚨

I, Cooper, have officially forced my human to do something productive today.
After 17 minutes of whining, 3 glare threats, and a full deck-side shovel attack, she finally created an official wish list.

Yes. A list. Of things I want. Because apparently staring at her until she gives me toys wasn’t convincing enough.

It includes:
🐾 Toys that survive my supervision (good luck)
🐾 Treats (non-negotiable)
🐾 Backup emotional support gear for emergencies like the Red Guy Under Deck Incident™

If you’re feeling generous — or just want me to stop staring at my human like she’s incompetent — the list is here:

No pressure. I’m already spoiled.
But honestly… helping me is your civic duty.

— Cooper 🐶
Mayor of Barrhaven, Protector of Toys, Shovel Nemesis

🚨 Yesterday’s Crisis: The Case of the Trapped Red Guy 🚨

Yesterday, during what was supposed to be a normal workday, we experienced a full-blown household emergency.

Cooper came to the door ready to come inside… but Red Guy was under the deck.
Unreachable.
Unacceptable.
Life-altering.

I tried everything.
Long sticks.
The rake.
A baseball bat.
(Yes, I was essentially auditioning for a very low-budget rescue movie.)

Cooper hovered inches from my face the entire time, holding his breath, clearly trusting me to fix this injustice immediately. Spoiler alert: nothing worked.

Now we’re on attempt -chance because a frantic GSD is nobody’s favourite coworker. So I suit up. Full snowsuit. Middle of the workday. Because obviously.

I grab the one tool I know will work…
The shovel.

A tool Cooper absolutely hates.

And I should’ve known better—because the second it appeared, Cooper launched himself at it like it owed him money.

Cue me sliding around the deck in my snowsuit, trying to hang onto the shovel, fighting a 115 pound German Shepherd who has entered full battle mode, while the neighbours absolutely enjoyed the show.

Eventually I surrendered.
Dropped to my belly.
Army-crawled through snow and ice.
Pulled myself under the deck to retrieve Red Guy.

Meanwhile, Cooper?
Has completely forgotten the toy exists because he’s busy ending the shovel’s entire bloodline.

🎉 Victory: Red Guy rescued.
💀 Casualty: The shovel. RIP.

Now I need a new one. Immediately.
Because this is winter, and apparently shovels are no longer safe in this house. But by the looks of things, I may be able to use it in a pinch.

The Great Snow Debate

Mom: “Ugh… this snowstorm is terrible. I’m staying inside.”
Me: zooming past her like a furry missile “Terrible? Excuse me, human. This is paradise!” ❄️🐾

Mom: “It’s freezing! My boots are wet! My fingers are numb!”
Me: plops in a snow drift, shakes off like a snow fountain “Oh no… your human problems… my entertainment level just skyrocketed.” 😏

Mom: “Cooper! Come back inside!”
Me: runs circles, does a perfect snow-slide “Inside? You mean… the place with no snow? Never. I have zoomies to run, snow to conquer, and you… to watch suffer.”

Mom: grumbling as she sips hot coffee
Me: plopping into her line of sight, snow on my nose “See? Winter was MADE for me. No, I don’t need my coat! And maybe… just maybe… to teach humans like you how to enjoy it.”

“Some of us hate winter… some of us were born to rule it. Guess which one I am? 😎🐶
