Russ: Hey, Cooper! Do you want to go duck hunting today?
Cooper: Do I get to wear camo just like you?
Russ: Sure, but keep in mind it is going to be cold and wet.
Cooper: I’m an Irish Water Spaniel. I can do cold and wet.
Russ: Point taken. OK then.
Cooper: Can I put my wet muddy feet on the furniture in the duck blind?
Russ: Sure. So does this mean you want to go?
Cooper: Is the bear Catholic? Yeah, I wanna go!
