Today, my puppy Copper is one whole year old! I thought I’d take a quick trip down memory lane.

Just to clarify, Copper is not so much my dog as he is a family dog. My mom saw a picture of a goldendoodle last summer and decided she needed to have one. Coincidentally, a friend of mine had family members who were selling a bunch of goldendoodle pups! I wrote about the whole story here.

Copper is more golden retriever than he is poodle. His father was a golden retriever and his mom was a fluffy black goldendoodle. When we went to pick him up, we were given a “baby book” full of all the cute moments of his first eight weeks. Can you even believe this?! Oh my gosh.

Despite being the smallest puppy in his litter, he grew rapidly every week. We still don’t even know if he’s completely full grown, but he is a giant. Here are some of my favorite Copper moments from the past year:

What a cutie. Follow my instagram @earlgreyjenn to see more!

Today, Copper and I are celebrating by spending time in the sun. It’s a perfect weather kind of day. :)
