Cooper

Cooper, newest dog, loves to swim, but only in selected spots in the pond.  I take him to a secluded place behind a wall of cattails.  Cooper is coming along nicely having spent too much time in a crate.  He's learning to go to the door and bark when he needs to go out.  I expect we'll do some backsliding when I go back to work.   Cooper no longer chases chickens, thankfully.  He's a terrific watchdog and loves playing with his ball.  I'm hoping I can teach him to retrieve it from the middle of the pond, like my sainted Bodie.
