LPS, Does Cooper go into the water alot?? When we are at the cabin. Shadow is always in the lake! except this last time up, he wasn't in it much maybe the water was too cold. That never stopped my other labs!?

[LPS]

Yes he loves the water.  When it is hot he will run down to the river and take a dip and run right back up to me.  I brought a new towel in the boat last week.  After we were done fishing he ran down there at a high rate of speed.  Here he comes back up with the new towel.  LOL  He must have thought I forgot it.

He isn't actually swimming much now just wading in a little.  Probably due to the cold.

Does he like to go and take your shoes??? Shadow does it every morning when I put mine on. .  I think he does it for attention.  putz!!

[LPS]

I turned that into a give me my slippers deal.  He loves to give them to me.  He gets both at once now and then and is proud of it.  I make him sit when he gives them to me.

That is awesome guys, Remi does the same,  but just my pairs of shoes nobody else's. Must be tied to us being the alpha male thing, they never have hurt the shoes just like grabbing them and bringing them to us while they are excited.

Cooper is my 6th lab and about every other one I have been lucky to have has been a slipper fetcher.  I have been lucky to have every one of them.

As Glenn brought up Happy Birthday Cooper and Shadow.  So I am watching Bourdain which I miss as I idle down for my nap.  With the leaves off the trees we can see the river real well.  So as I sat down Cooper starts grumbling and we wondered if a fox was in the yard.  The river is about 200 yards from the house.  Here it was a boat trolling upriver he was grumbling at.      So now he thinks it is his river.

LPS, does Cooper shed as bad as Shadow.  sheez, between the hair I vacuum up and brush off hi I'm surprised he isn't bald😣

I could stuff it all in a pillow case and make a pillow better then. A goose down pillow!

Ya know I just did the Doggy Shampoo at the local Pet Pantry.  The going rate is $18.  Per dog.  First they help you brush your dog.  They gave me one of those horse loop brush things for Buddy and it tool hair off like there was no tomorrow.  Cooper too.  Took hair off unreal.  I said I was embarrassed that they had so much and the lady laughed and said this is great and it is why you are here. Then we did Buddy's bath and she just kept Cooper with her on leash as she waited on customers.  He kept looking at me and giving me his little whine thing.  Was hilarious and so good for him and me.   So then I finished bathing Buddy and then he went on the drying table so I could warsh Cooper.  He resisted but once in the bath thing with warm water he melted.   Absolutely a wonderful experience and we will do it again.   Hope this answered your question.  LOLOL

And yes they both shed a lot so the bath really helped.
