Sandy

It has been snowing here every few days.

This means that there is a lot of salt and sand on the roads and sidewalks.

This also means that Cooper is filthy after a walk.

We went to Wilton Center the other night and Cooper came back as a big, wet, sandy mess. Thankfully we have an old blanket that covers the back seat of the car.

I know that Cooper must be growing more hair, because it now takes a lot longer to towel him dry and then brush out the sand.

None of this seems to bother Cooper. In fact, he seems to search out puddles to splash in. Could that be the Retriever in him ?

PS - Isn't Cooper looking gorgeous ?
