Hi,
Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I live in Birmingham with hubby and three children, our rescue English Setter Millie and a ragdoll cat.
My new addition is arriving in the morning, a six month old golden cocker spaniel who was sent to a rescue in Ireland. "Ben" was given to his owners by a breeder to pay off a debt :shock:
Things did not work out and he ended up in a rescue centre.
Their loss is my gain as I have always loved cocker spaniels but I would only choose to have a rescue dog. I applied to cocker rescue and was turned down because my children are not all over seven. I can understand this as I realise the dogs are rehomed from one home to another and there is no way of being sure of the dog's previous treatment or history.
This little boy has always lived with children and has proven he loves them, he has a lovely temperament and was sent to rescue because the family's current dog would not accept him.
He will be on the ferry tonight and tomorrow we go to collect him. haven't told the children yet as I don't think our lives would be worth living if they realised that mum is actually driving with Nanny and leaving them with Daddy so that the poor pup can spend the drive home in peace.
I am looking forward to chatting to you all!
