Gettin' old

Cooper seems to have fully mellowed out. Thank God. He's just as happy laying on the floor on on the bed watching tv as he is to go outside for a walk. He still loves the snow like no other; that's when the puppy in him comes out. Which is frustrating when you're sick and just want to go back inside but Cooper wants to play in the snow but whatever...
Lately, I don't know if it has to do with his age or maybe he is lonely, but he wants to cuddle all the time when I'm home. He wants to be petted and if you stop petting him, he'll nudge your hand until you resume petting. He used to lay by/on my feet but more often, he'll curl himself up against my side or sometimes, even right next to my head and tries to share my pillow with me. I draw the line there, I don't mind his fur clumps all over my blanket but not on my pillow.
He also performs more of his tricks without a treat in my hand. He high fives with enthusiasm and I find that endearingly cute. He'll even do the harder tricks without a treat. Now only if he'll poop faster...
