Lisa, I hope Luke comes to stay with you and everything works out. We have old Ralph, from The Ark, who is 14, he came to join us in January. He also has a little problem with widdling(here there and everywhere..) but we are delighted at the progress this old man has made. His piddling has really greatly improved, and , with the benefit of hindsight, we can see that a lot of the widdling was marking and helping to find his way about, he had very poor eyesight , which we now believe has all but gone completely
He was quite quiet at first, but when he settled did have some barking episodes, mainly I think to get reassurance we were near by, this has also improved a lot but hasnt gone, and he wasnt at all distressed, in fact he is a very happy old man. I hope Luke has found his happy retirement home with you, Ralph has brought a lot of joy to us , we can learn a lot from these oldies, and when you see how they respond to being loved for who they are it is heartwarming. PS We also have 3 other cockers, who all know Ralph is the grandpa, so no problems
