But while the small female pup takes a few ladylike licks, Cooper gobbles the rest of the cone up in one bite. Gallegos, who runs Dogpatch Resort, says that Cooper always eats very quickly.

[Q]: (CNN) -- On October 12, 2000, a suicide bomber attacked the USS Cole as it refueled in Aden, Yemen. A rubber boat packed with explosives detonated, killing 17 and wounding at least 37 more. Ten years later the destroyer -- also known as DDG 67 -- is in port at Norfolk, Virginia, after returning just a month ago from a mission in the Gulf of Aden, according to Command Duty Officer Lt. Torsten Becker. The ship's crew and others commemorated the 10-year anniversary Tuesday at Naval Station Norfolk. "We lost 17 of our shipmates that terrible morning 10 years ago, but they were far more than just our sailors," said Adm. J.C. Harvey Jr., commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command. "They were your fathers, your sons and daughters, your sisters and brothers. They coached Little League. They loved to work on cars. They ran track and played football. They acted in high school plays. They loved life, they loved living and they loved you.NEW: Wreath laid at memorial during ceremonyNEW: USS Cole crew praised for efforts to save ship, crewmatesFlags, a plaque and 17 stars commemorate those who diedThe U.S. Navy touts improved security measures
