My husband would never allow me to put any type of bow or top knot in Cooper's hair. I keep it short. Cooper wouldn't go for it either, I don't even put shirts on him anymore and only a harness when he has to be leashed, as hates really anything on him. My Carley on the other hand, wears a top knot and a shirt or dress everyday practically. My only problem is Cooper likes to take the bows and clips and such out of Carley's hair and destroy them. I buy alot of her bows and clips in the baby department though, so I figure each one he destroys only costs me about 30 cents, so I don't sweat it. He even watches to see if I will leave any bows or clips laying around (he has an eagle eye) and off he goes with it. If I see him, I can get it back, but he is realllllll sneaky
