Keep Your Fingers Crossed!
« on: January 12, 2005, 07:45:23 PM »
Hi there!

Well, our search to re-home a Cocker is progressing nicely!

I phoned our local Cocker Spaniel Club representative yesterday to ask if she was aware of any older Cockers that needed rehoming, as me and my 11yr old were looking to take one on.  We have been thinking about the situation long and hard for ages now, but because we have a 12yr old cat, we felt that getting a young bouncy puppy was not a good option for us - or the cat!  (We've had dogs in he past, and she gets on better with dogs than cats, but she is a bit older now!)  :(

We are not looking for a show dog or a breeding bitch, just a family companion to make our lives complete again.  :)

She was not aware of any that needed help at the moment, but put me in touch with a local breeder who might know of someone who could help out.

To cut a long story short, the breeder has a 1yr old boy who is possibly too tall for showing and may be looking for a new home for him.  

She is going to have him checked over by a friend who shows Cockers tonight to see what she thinks, and if he is not suitable for the showring, then she will give me a buzz tomorrow to arrange to come and meet us!  :D

We are so excited we can hardly think straight!   :P

I have to try to keep calm though in case it all falls through at the last minute - then I suppose it just wasn't meant to be.......

But please - keep your fingers crossed for us!  ;)

Hi tiggerbabe,
I'm new to this chatting on line business, but just wanted to say don't worry about your 12 year old cat.  My Pinky was 18 when we introduced a 5month old Cocker into her life.  She sulked for a few weeks but if you look at the photo I've just posted to the rogues gallery you will see that she even shared a bed with him eventually.  She had been an 'only one' until then.
Good luck in your search.

Thats good to know - thanks!

I used to have a Lurcher called Zara and my cat used to play with her "beard"!!

My cat was gutted when Zara died and was in obvious mourning for weeks afterwards.

We tried to get her another cat for company as she was getting older - but she turned into the cat from hell and, we had to take the new cat back to the Cat & Dog home!  :(

We'll see what happens if I am blessed with a new Cocker! ;)

Nope - still waiting on THAT phone call - story of my life!!  ;)

She said she would call me back tonight, but her bitch had a litter of pups 3 days a go, so she will be rushed off her feet!  ;)

Looks like another sleepless night for me!!  :D
