Cooper doesn't like little girls from around 6 to age 12 or 13 or so. I can't figure out why, except that maybe that they will kinda talk in that high pitch squealy voice when they see him and he doesn't like that, and they also tend to just reach out and try to pet or grab him from my arms and he most definitely does not like that. It is kinda embarrassing though, he always dislikes people who seem to want to touch him the most and that is usually little girls. Luckily Carley LOVES everyone, and they just move on to Miss Carley Bear
We now tell people to ignore Cooper at first and that seems to guarantee that Cooper will then want their attention and will be sweet and not agressive acting.
