My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa and hoping to make the city of light my home base - at least for the foreseeable future. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlogged daily for 3+ years, and love pizza a little too much.

FAQ:
How long have you lived in France? Over four years now, holy cow.
What do you miss most about ho- NACHOS
You're always talking about living on some ship. WHAT SHIP? - I made a "Draw My Life" video that explains a lot here: • Draw My Life
Where are you from originally? - Pullman, Washington - a small university/agricultural town near Idaho (and yes, the potatoes are amazing).
What do you film with? - I've made a lot of changes recently, but I try to keep my gear list up to date if you want to see what I use and buy some for yourself: bit.ly/JaysGear...
What do you edit with? - Adobe Premiere - it's pretty much all I've ever used since high school.
Aren't you ever freaked out by leaving your camera behind to film yourself? - Yep. But not too badly - I tend to be careful when I do.
Why are you living in #Paris? - Because I've always wanted to; I feel at home here: • Why I Want to Live in ...
Do you speak French? - Oui. • Un Jour en Francais (E...
Do you make money off UA-cam? - Ha, sorta. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first total $100 off adsense. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.
I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? - The easiest and best way to support me is through Patreon, where you can pitch in as little as $5/mo to help me make better videos: / jayswanson
I don't trust this Patreon thing - can I just paypal you? - Here's my ko-fi if that's your thing (and coffee is your game): ko-fi.com/jays...
But I want to send you something tangible! - I do have a wishlist on Amazon, though it's a bit complicated with the international shipping situation. So instead people often drop off or ship things to the Peloton Cafe in Paris for me.
Thanks for watching!
The pup snoring his way through Paris..... hilarious!
The cuddliest puppy I ever did see. Preciousness in baby dog form.
Thanks!
Watched this 4-5-24. What a great companion Cooper has turned out to be. And you're a wonderful dog parent.
Thanks! And yeah, he's the best
It's evident you did your research! You're such a good dog dad! Taking him to the back of the tap room to become more comfortable with his surroundings was such a pro move! Welcome to the family, Cooper!
Gotta do my best to help him succeed along the way =D
Having all of the people hold him will result in such a well socialized little dog. So glad to see you with your little dude. I agree with Lindsey about naming him Cooper. Nacho makes me think of Chihauhaus
Cooper makes me think of D.B. Cooper and Coopers IPA and Millennial white guys, whereas Nacho makes me think of the hilarious movie Nacho Libre and Jay’s favorite food and Puxan. But what’s done is done, lol!! My roommate has a Chihuahua-Pug mix that’s really grown on me, too. I’ll settle in with Cooper, eventually.
These last two videos - it's been like having a newborn baby, turbocharged. You sound just like a new (human) parent. I thought Cooper suited him best - good choice. And he is such a Parisian dog already - chic woolly sweater, travelling in a shoulder bag. It's lucky you're here, where shop and cafe owners are more relaxed about letting animals inside.
Glad you got Cooper and he seems like a beautiful friend, he has typical puppy behaviour a bit of separation angst is NOT a separation problem but he is so new to your place , that he is confused and a bit scared , this will end once he knows your routine . He sleeps like any puppy and small dog behaviour. He will have many accidents and our dog goes into his cage and scratches the floor as if he is making his bed but angrier, it’s funny,, his cage is “his” place so he is allowed to do anything he wants, he sometimes wants it messy sometimes he wants it dirty and sometimes he wants to bring in his “friends” in with him. Cooper later on ( after teething) might want to have his owned stuffed “friend” ( sometimes bigger than him ,so he can snuggle or attack it!) By the way I am sure you have noticed by now, having a dog makes you meet more friends, male or female. Everyone smiles and wants to pet him and for now snuggle him.
Cooper is so precious!!!!🐶🐾🐾♥️
And his snore was the best!
I love seeing Paris through Cooper’s eyes 🐶 ❤️
Everything feels fresh!
You’re so caring with your little fella. Be still my heart ❤️. Dogs will forever change you with their unconditional love and precious sweet face. Good for you!! ❤️🐶❤️🐶
You’ve never seemed happier! 🤗
What a little champ Cooper is! It was so fun watching you socialize him. Hope this week brings more sleep and lots more fun adventures!
Thank you!
As a longtime follower, seeing puppy (no spoilers!) acclimate to Paris life and become one of the gang was just the nicest.
He is gonna be the happiest puppy in the world! Welcome to the dogparent's club!
Thank you!
You got a Boston!! I am so excited for you, Jay. I was owned by a Boston and he was simply the best dog I've ever had. A perfect little gentleman is 100% correct for this wonderful breed.
Congratulations to you, Jay, and welcome to the Swanson family, Cooper! 🐶💕💕💕💕❤️
He's been quite the gentleman so far already!
Oh Cooper, tu es trop mignon!!!!!
COOPER!!!!! I was hoping that was the choice!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Jay, did your heart physically hurt for the first few days as it expanded to fit all the new love? Welcome to the world, Cooper!
🐶🥰🐶
Cooper is precious and this video series is going to be like a “how to start out properly with a new puppy” lesson that’s far more entertaining than it should be. Great job dog dad!
Haha, thank you. A proper, sleepless start 😴
I smiled the whole video! Thanks for the cuteness. 🐶
Our please!
WHAT A CUTE PUPPY
Your joy is our joy. Well done Jay, your hard work pays dividends in bounds. Stay well and positive. Hello from London : - )
Oooh my GOODNESS!!!
that adorable little face ;)
He's too cute
Cooper is bloody gorgeous and he'll be such great pal for you. He's lucky to have such caring dad. What a cool life in Paris he'll have. We started off with a light weight crate but graduated to a metal job in a very few days. They are smart creatures and it's all a game.
Love the name. It was high in my list when I got my dog but she was ultimately named Pepper. First week or so is the hardest. My husband actually slept with her overnight for days! It’s nice that Cooper is so portable as I live the puppy /man bag. This is also a good way to meet new people!🤞🐶
How adorable is that? I love " Being a Puppy in Paris ". Great title. That face is too much.
Enjoy, take care and be well ❤.
He's gotta get used to life in the city!
@@JaySwanson Love the snazzy sweater. He is a wonderful companion for you. 🐶
Cooper and Swanson..🐱💃🐦🎶🌹🌞🌷🌈🌉🌆
He's a Cooper keeper!
Your discipline with training is impressive. And he's such a gooboy!
I picked up my dog, also named Cooper, almost 13 years ago. I spent several weeks constantly training , cleaning messes and wondering what I had done! I went back to work at about the 8 week mark and thought I might have to re-home him but I worked it out. 13 years later I cannot imagine these years without him and it has gone by so fast as I now lament the short time he has left on this earth. You will get there and then it will be easy and so fulfilling!
Hello! Love your new pup. 🥰 give him a wet washcloth that you have frozen in the freezer for teething.
Antlers can be a problem. Enjoy the adventure with your new best friend ❤️
He's grand so far!
Nice! Such a handsome little guy.
Cheers! 😎🐾
Don’t hate me but Cooper is Emily’s last name on Emily In Paris. I can’t help but giggle at how she would say French people say Coop-airrr!
What a cute little guy. It’s obvious you both bring each other so much joy. ♥️
Hahaha, that's an unfortunate yet delightful revelation
Great video. Just what I needed to see. My dog died Wed. night & I have been crying ever since. I have had dogs since I was 4 years old & almost never been without. I have been working with a Miniature Schnauzer rescue for some years now, ever since I lost my last Schnauzer when she was 16. I had the dog I just lost for 10 years. She was a permanent rescue as we were unable to get her adopted. Dogs enrich your life. Unconditional love is a wonderful thing. Keep training Cooper, maybe go to a puppy obedience class for a combination of socialzation & training. And please keep showing us more video of Cooper.Who knows, Cooper may become more popular than you!! Perhaps he can have his own You Tube channel...
So many FUN outings....
I'm just now catching this. Cooper is adorable! I can't wait to see more adventures, but it appears that he's not all that impressed with Paris. I can't believe you can take him inside the cafes and restaurants. That's cool.
Lovely little Houdini! I mean Cooper. Great work!
How nice to see you so happy! Cooper is adorable. He's one lucky puppy.
I'm a pretty lucky human too =D
OMG You got a Puppy!!!! He is so CUTE. Love his name & believe me as a parent we asked ourselves the same questions many years ago ---What have we done? LOL Congratulations You're doing great.
Haha. I trust the struggles will continue to lessen as the fun continues to grow 🍻🐶🍻
Welcoming my Boston pup in a few weeks 😊
One more note...you look fantastic. Really healthy looking. Glowing, almost. Maybe that's because of the cute critter 😜
Thank you so much!
Not sure if this is a good thing…but it helped my Frenchie to put a towel with my scent over the crate.
Good idea! I did that with his bedding. He's made huge progress
Well done dad!! We loooove Cooper!! 😊🥰🥰xxxx
My dog’s name is: Henri Mcbutterpants. He’s a schnoodle and is the best. Animals are amazing so thank you for sharing Cooper with us.
Happy to share him! That's an amazing name btw 😆
First touristy photo 😂🤣😂
📸😎📸
Bless him, he is adorable. Cooper is a great name, you are both doing great!
Puppy Cooper is such a cutie! So glad that the two of you are adjusting to life together. I'm looking forward to see him grow up to be the best doggo and you be the best doggo dad.
Here's hoping i manage!🤣
I recommend a puppy backpack. They are so convenient.
Such a good dad!
So adorable!! Keep puppy content coming!! Made me smile the whole video 😊💕
He's a smile generating machine!
Haha! Having a puppy is sort of like having a baby! They are great but a fair bit of work! Have fun!
You are doing great Jay. I appreciate you documenting your experience with a puppy because people will often see an older dog and say how amazing they are. What they don’t see is the time we invest in them to become great companions. Best of luck to you and cooper ❤️
Thank you! It's definitely been a ton of work, but worth it in the end I'm certain 🐶
What an adorable puppy!
I think he should have a middle name too... like.. Scott.. or Passport.... lol, Cooper is a cute name for a cute dog!!
Nacho!
@@JaySwanson 😂 Perfect 💯💯💯 "Cooper Nacho-average-dog-but-cuter Swanson" Lol!
He's really precious! Great name!
Cooper Swanson!!! So happy for you, Jay!!!
Literally one of my favorite videos and I’m only 1 minute in.
He's so STINKIN' CUTE!!!! ❤️ Cooper! What a good little guy and obviously he's a hit with all your friends. Glad you're getting used to each other. So happy for you!! 😊
Oh my Cooper is adorable. Wish I could sleep like him. Mind you I bet you do too at the moment. It’s great that he’s not crying if you leave him alone. Make sure you don’t leave anything lying around though. That was a lovely video Jay! 👍
Haha, I do wish I was sleeping as much as him right now. We'll get there!
Call him UA-cam! 🐶
Nacho is still a good middle name...
100% agree
Cooper Nacho Swanson!💜🧡
totally! monsieur cooper nacho, i like the sound of it!
I though you might call him "Tucker" because I heard you use the word tuckered several times. I like Cooper.... good choice. He's adorable!
He is definitely always tuckered 😆
I enjoyed this video so much! Cooper is adorable 🥰 and as always I love to get a peek into your Parisian life
Thanks! We're having a lot of fun
Super Cooper is so clever!! He can sit already!!!!❤️🤗😘
You two look great together!!✨✨👍
Dang, that Cooper is so cute! From once again cold, grey & sorta kinda back to normal Kinsale! ☘💪🏽👀👍🏽☘
He's a cutie pie to be sure
Second time watching this video, was feeling cranky this morning but the puppy is fun. In Ontario, Canada you can't bring dogs into stores or restaurants. You have to leave them at home. You are lucky there.
Cooper is so lucky to have such a caring and devoted puppy daddy! ♥️Love those sweaters too😊
He's quick to catch the chill, gotta keep him warm if I want to keep him outside haha
I love when stars don’t even care they are stars - puppy stars! Cooper’s approach to the 80 in 8 was priceless - Zzzzzz. A bond forming - for a lifetime. So wonderful! 🐾🐾
I also have a Cooper, but he's an older guy.
The global Cooper rotation
Yay. When you said the list of names, I gravitated to Cooper right away. You can call him coucou--among a dozen other nicknames you and his aunts and uncles will come up with.
SUPER COOPER 😍
He's a super trooper!
He is so sweet! Love the name. Hope things are going better. Give him a hug and let him know he can have his first swim in my pool if he would like…once it’s warmer!
Things keep getting better and better! We'll forget how hard it was in no time haha - more on all that in the next Patron-Only Garage Monologue I'm sure. I'll have it up for you in no time.
Cooper is just the cutest especially in his little jumper. He looked so chilled out in the sidecar with you and it was lovely to see everyone cooing over him, Puxan and his mum were adorable with him 😍 Can't wait for more pup-dates to come 🐕 Stay safe and look after yourself 🙂
He's gonna have the best little puppy life
He is adorable with a capital A !!! I smiled like a Cheshire Cat throughout this video. Cooper brings so much joy 😊
Thank you! I'm loving him
What a cute pup. It's wonderful that Paris is so dog friendly. You are both happy to have each other!
Very lucky for the friendliness of the city. Wouldn't have been able to get him otherwise
Cuteness overload. Not just Cooper, but you and your friends. Loved seeing all the firsts and interactions in Paris so much, I may have to watch this more than once. I’m not crying, you’re crying. 🥰
Cooper is a good fit for him. 🙂
So sweet
🥰🐶
Awwww.
Jay Congratulations 😁 I love this ❤️
Thank you !
Awww Jay, I haven’t caught up with you for a while as I got a puppy over lockdown pretty much the same time as you. My Ava is now 9 months old and she is so cute. Your puppy is just so cute. It is nice for you as you have a buddy and living in Paris you can take him most places!
Cooper needs his own social media
"Sleep, working out, ughhh I need that so much!" You really sounded like me, you are officially a parent!
Haha, the self care survival goals
I need a Cooper T!
Adorable, Jay! Nice and savory and sympathetic. He’ll be such a good companion. Keep the little guy busy! A sleeping puppy is a happy puppy. I’m amazed. Cheers so nice Thanks
What a good boy! My favorite part was the look of love on your face when he was snoring. I currently have 2 adopted Bostons and kept the names they came with. Chuck, and … So every time you say Cooper’s name in a video imagine a brown Boston in Dayton Ohio cocking his head in confusion. :)
Holy cow! What an overload of cuteness! But so much work and so little sleep - for you (Obviously Cooper is getting plenty of shut-eye). Hang in there, Jay!
He’s adorable and you’re already doing everything right , congratulations to you both xoxo
Sidecar footage was e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g !!
Congrats on wee Cooper and for doing your research as a new hooman dad to
his wee little self. Yes the leaving in crate is critical--as small doggo he will
always be held and adored plus petted by everyone and will seek that
constantly. The sound machines are a good option too-- see if he likes
listening to ocean or water sounds, nature, or white noise. In the summer
when window is open or if you end up getting more neighbours on the floor
he will hear all that and may start the howling.
Thankfully he seems totally unphased by neighbors noises so far! He's making huge strides
OMG!!! Cooper is SO adorable. Good choice of name. Enjoy the process.
Congrats on Cooooooooper! He’s adorbs! 🐶 And an escape artist so he is smart! Lol!!!
Cooper is so cute. My pup is 5 years old, first year is rough! It might help if you get a little corral so when you need to do other stuff he’s in a safe area and not in the crate so long. Also a baby monitor or app so you can watch him when you’re out. Thanks!
Yeah, figuring out a space for a corral would be great. Afraid my apt is too small though. Might have to temporarily pull out the coffee station
My late rescue was named Cooper. He was a wonderful life companion. You made an excellent choice.
OMGosh!!! Hahaha!!! Cooper is delightful!!!...and, you are a super great dad!!! What a treasure!!!! Congratulations!!! Thank you for this wonderful vlog!!! Yep...the snoring was the best...and the escape, lol!!!
Thank you!!
Best puppy vlog I've ever watched. Cooper is a great name and Cooper has a great dad. Looking forward to watching your life with Cooper.
Poopy paws and puppy breath seem so fast, now that you're thru it. It's been fun to look back. I have a cold and this makes it better!
Don’t worry about a name! It will come. I always love naming my pets! I had 2 cats I called Thing One and Thing Two until I named them.
What a great decision. So happy for you. It’s a lot of work and big responsibility but you seemed ready for the challenge. Congrats to you and Cooper. He’s got a new home and daddy. You have a new friend and partner in crime. 🥰🥰🥰
I must tell you, I truly enjoyed watching this video of you & Cooper. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences being a new dad. The ups, downs, trips within the city, & everything within the day that goes on. Definitely the life of Jay & Cooper! Keep them coming. Love the reinvention of your site. You definitely needed someone like Cooper. It brings a whole new meaning for you.
Lots of puppy adventures to come!
Oh my goodness! I’m in this video! Haha nice to meet you 😊
He’s precious. The name suits him.
