Wow thanks for all the great ideas. If i knew how to multi quote, i would comment on everyone's comments. oh and yes, that story is sad yet so funny!
Cooper is also afraid of the lawnmower. Believe it or not he's also afraid when my partner and I have an argument. Fights are rare and hardly ever get louder than a regular voice but somehow Cooper knows when we have a serious talk! He under a table or sits in a corner shaking. Then i always hear "look what you did to the dog!" LOL. It usually ends the fight with us trying to tell Cooper everything is ok
