Oh doG, oh doG, oh doG, oh doG.......


Am I in trouble now.......

This weekend I'm doing the wedding for a family that are gamekeepers on the estate where Sparkydee used to live down here. They have working dogs, as you'd expect.

Last time I went, they had some Lab pups.... VEEEEEEEEEEEERY cute, but no real risk as I know OH doesn't particularly like Labs.

Today I phoned to check some final details, to be told they now have a litter of working cocker puppies..........

They're too young to have yet, but will be ready mid September - our last function of the silly season is 13th September.........

We've already decided Daisy needs a friend, and this autumn were going to start looking......

Trouble is - there's 6 of them, how on earth will I stop at one?????

working cockers are wonderful dogs, theyre very addictive and 1 is hardly ever enuff, id say your in trouble

Now if it were me, I would need a physical restraint!!!!! And have to leave my purse and cheque book at home

I've already told her she isn't allowed to show me them until AFTER the wedding! But they seem fairly determined we should have one - wonder if that'll be the tip????

Now i wonder how long that will last

It is futile to resist....

Of course I will put my very sensible head on and say


piccies please

does that mean i get puppy cuddles in September???? i

This is all your fault Claire - if you hadn't posted the pics of the sprocker pups, OH would never have been persuaded we should have one, and I'd be safe from the cute 1 week old babies when I go to check the equipment on Friday.......

The best thing about this is, OH had read this thread and NOT said no!!!!

clapping hands and stamping feet


oooooh i am so jealous

......................................................off to find a big old ruck sack to snaffle baby's in

Working cockers are truly fantastic dogs. Chester (my 6 month old) is the most affectionate little thing in the world. Lots of fun and very clever little creatures. Good luck choosing only one though. We were lucky, Ches was the last one in his litter. Could never have chosen just one out of the lot

There's loads of working cockers in rescue - would you consider a rescue............

I would Penel, although unfortunately as my OH is currently showing his true colours again, plans for another dog are on hold.

I find steak and chips works a treat - oh, and say it's a foster...........

oh as if dont know anyone that would do that
