I Don't Like Water

I thought that Retrievers were water dogs, but Cooper does not enjoy getting wet. On rainy days, Cooper does not want to go for a walk. He will race outside, do what he needs to, and turn back for home.

Of course, Otis does not mind getting wet and happily trots in front of me with Cooper getting dragged along behind.

The three of us eventually return home, soaking wet. Otis will shake off in the garage, but Cooper just stands there dripping. It is only when I bend down with a towel to dry Cooper, that he shakes, sending water all over me. I thought I saw a smile cross Coop's lips as he did this yesterday.

Could it be payback for making Coop walk in the rain ?
