I think everyone is a winner anyway, because they are cocker spaniels. Its given us all a showcase to show off our babies and winning or losing is very subjective.
I just feel so proud in the twelve months I have been on this site to have had such good information, a shoulder to cry on, meet some wonderful people and their dogs.
I know the "MODS" have had to reprimand me a couple of times
, but I'm still here posting and have perhaps learnt to think a little before I post.
I especially want to thank all those who "have" been supportive of me in my quest to have Rosie and especially for all the lovely messages of support for her following her recent scare, which is fortunately now clear.
This year there have been some particularly upsetting times when owners have lost young dogs, I offer my sympathy to you all, but there are three cases which have hit me very hard.
gail with Shadow, Wendy with Rosie and Cassie's poor little Theis. A special mention to Little Ozzy, who is welcome back whenever he wants to stay and Gracie Mae, who were two of the wonderful Blue's that made mr realise there was room in our lives for a third dog, little Rosie, our fighter who we are so proud of. Last but not least, ALL OF YOU, for your unwavering support and friendship.
