Chicken BBQ - Staying Out Of The Way

 There was a lot of hard work going on with cooking and setting up all the things we had to take care of.

If I had Cooper on the ground he would have been all over the place sniffing the ground and wandering off.

Putting him on the bench, he won't get down unless he's allowed by me, so I don't really have to watch him.

He actually makes a great greeter as people walk by him.  And he LOVES that job!
