Hey there,
A geek from Edinburgh here. 28, male, and living in a flat beside Holyrood Park. My main passions are reading, collaborative writing, art, the old online game Ultima Online, chinese food (though that is less of a passion and more of an indulgence) and movies.
We had a cocker spaniel when I was growing up, who was well loved, but dreadfully untrained. He ruled the household to a greater degree, and loved it. I currently have no dog of my own, (ex partner kept the house and the dogs when we split after 6.5 years), and now with a place of my own I am in a position to once more offer a home to a dog a home.
I orignially considered getting a cardigan welsh corgi, because they are adorable, and have lovely temperments. However they can be a little barky (my neighbours would not approve), and with their shorter legs, getting up and down stairs would be an issue for them, especially when small. I considered rehoming an adult, however there have been none available for over a year, and over 100 people on the waiting list, so that was out of the question. So my thoughts soon returned to the beloved cocker spaniels.
After much consideration, I have put my name down with Rescue Cockers (part of the Cocker Spaniel Club of Scotland), and so it is just a waiting game until one finds itself in need of a quiet home.
Its only been about a week, and I am finding the waiting, and the not knowing of when I might get one, and what it will be like to be torture. I miss having a dog so much, but all good things come with time, or so they say.
