Cooper hates the water hose when I drag it across my deck and miracle grow my flower boxes and hanging baskets. Also, no one is allowed to wear baseball caps in the house....NO ONE AT NO TIME!! This is a hard and fast rule and if you have one on, he will not leave you alone until he either gets it off you or you give up and voluntarily take it off! He also hates the broom with a passion, we sweep while he is asleep
