We have been watching out for a while for another spaniel to run with Buster, as he adores playing with other dogs and can get even the grumpiest out of their shell and into a game. Finally we have found a likely candidate! She is currently called Chelsea and is a two year old golden ex-breed bitch at Many Tears. Got her reserved and just need the home check done. Fairly confident on that, as we passed two years ago to take Buster from them. Subject to that - going to Llanelli on Thursday to pick her up. 400 mile+ round trip! Should be fun as she won't be used to being in a car. Paws and fingers crossed for us.
Will post updates and details of her new life. She is apparently very timid and has seen little or nothing of the world. That means we will have the privilege of being with her when she sees her first horse, grouse, rabbit etc...
Doesn't get better does it?

How exciting and brilliant that you are giving this little one the life she always should have had.

Lovely news, so pleased for you. Buster I'm sure will love having a playmate and wonderful for Chelsea to have a new life too.
Have a safe journey

Wonderful news

Such a brilliant thing to be doing. Wishing you every success. :blink: We've always loved the 'double-trouble' bit of dog ownership. Down to one at the moment and it's just not the same...

How wonderful! She's going to be a very happy little girl coming to a loving forever home with a lovely boy to play with and look after after her. Good luck! Looking forward to seeing pictures and hearing news!

What lovely news. Looking forward to updates & photos of course

That is brilliant news I've recently heard that they have 31 cockers on their site.
I'm sure everything will go well and wishing you all the luck in the world.

Well done you! MT's are overwhelmed just now, there are so many dogs in at the moment, suspect it is the after effect of the Panorama programme. Anyway, I was at the centre just over a week ago, as we were down that way on holiday. It is so busy, and there are lots of adorable cockers, all at various stages, had lovely cuddles with some, and unable to get near others. So pleased you are giving this wee one a whole new life. Thank you. x

Had the Home Check yesterday and all good. She has been cat tested by MT and no sign of problems. Just need to ring tomorrow afternoon to make sure her operation has gone OK and then off we go. Can't leave until the chickens have been let out on Thursday morning (5.30am) and need to be back to lock them up in the evening before it gets dark (10.00pm). Two drivers and lots of coffee. Fortunately the quickest route is the nicest - down through the middle of Wales rather than using the motorways.
MT do seem to have had a sudden rush of dogs generally and cockers in particular, all looking for somewhere to call home. It will be interesting to see MT as we picked Buster up from a foster carer. The office is running a sweep stake on how many we will really bring back with us!

So pleased she is coming to live with you hope she has a good journey home Looking forward to see more photosxx

Well, she is home! Left North Yorkshire at 6.30am and got back home at 8.30pm after a 425 mile round trip.
Little Chelsea is now called Annie. She was incredibly good on the trip back and just lay down in the crate. We were quite prepared (and had packed for) screaming, terror and double ended evacuations but she was so brave and good all the way. Buster decided that he had to sit up and watch everything both ways and so by the time we got home he was literally falling asleep on his feet, poor lad!
Annie is absolutely adorable and has so much to learn.
I will try to organise some photos over the weekend, but for now need to catch up my work from yesterday.
Thanks to you all for your support and good wishes.

Well done you!

Welcome home Annie. :luv:
Cant wait to see photos
Must admit there are some lovely cockers on MT, one on Wirral is a lovely boy, but my Ollie is not the nurturing type sadly.

Well done for rescuing little Annie. I have Maggie from Dogs trust Bridgend and Jessie from Many Tears. They are such dear girls who like all the others have suffered so much.
