Hope Herr Humph has come through his check with flying colours. How is his back now?

The receptionist had booked us in for the wrong vet yesterday so I‘ve had to make another appointment for Monday. I think she  probably thought I was being a bit fussy but  I had specifically asked to see our own vet and felt a bit cross that she obviously didn’t seem to think it mattered.
His back‘s not too bad now thanks, he still hops on three legs most of the time when he walks and he doesn’t like to stand in one position for long but I don’t think that will ever get any better now as the nerves are permanently damaged but he  still races about, creeps up the stairs to us at night  :lol: and he‘ll walk/hop / skip around 6 -8 km a day, so he‘s still enjoying life to the full. He really is a little trooper but then I think that’s just cocker! No time to feel sorry for themselves, life‘s too exciting and they might miss something!  :luv:
Humph, you are a little marvel  :luv:

The Cocker Spaniel Club has covered a lot of the vet bills as have other donations from various sources. These cockers deserve our support.

I feel for all those going through the bitey stage.  Maisie is my third cocker and was the puppy from hell. :005:  From 8 weeks old she had attitude and was like a feisty teenager.   Marley and Stevie were never bitey so Maisie came as quite a shock.  I remember my hands being red raw.  There was a time when she was 5 months old when I really wanted her gone as everything was a challenge with her.  BUT I had taken her on and I knew she would get better.  Happily she did, she is still the feisty little madam but also very responsive and a loving Velcro dog too  :luv:
When things got bad, I just took a day at a time and gradually the good days outnumbered the bad.  Just tell yourself it will get better because if you are consistent with your training, it will be. :luv:

Our motto  it's a better day tomorrow  ph34r ph34r :shades:

Hi and hello to you and " nameless " pup.
Am also going through puppyhood with 3 month Molly.
Can also say the dog teenage journey is just the same as having a 13 year child. They listen to nothing,, test boundaries etc.  So its back to treat them as a child . Luckily, with a pup the stage doesn't last a lifetime 😵‍💫🤣
You are going okay and look forward to hearing more of your journey together, it will be best ever.
Ps, my hands are also shredded if that helps
