I know how heart wrenching it is to lose the best cocker in the world. I had to have another dog so I went to a rescue kennel and brought home a scruffy terrier, who definitely doesn’t bring back the images of the melting cocker features. It took me a year to actually look at a cocker on walks, eventually I felt the urge to stroke a gorgeous brown one, asked the owners, and hugged it, almost showing my tears. I’ve been ok since.
