Title: I wish my cocker didnt like......
Post by: Toni-UK on September 07, 2008, 07:36:32 PM
  The rain.  Given the weather we have all been getting i have lost count of how mant times i have dried Ruby.It seems to be she wants to go in the garden every 5 minutes and i cant take the chance of not letting her as it might genuinely be for a wee  ::)
But she strolls around in the heaviest shower,even laying down to have a lunch of chipped bark,and yep youve guessed it,she wont come back in.Her recall is great when we are out but if shes in a downpour in the garden,no chance  >:D so im on towel number 2 this evening.

What do you wish your cocker didnt like...............................

Ohhhhh lost count of the amount of times iv had to get my coat and shoes on and armed with my umbrella go out and fetch Reuben from the flower bed, lying in the soil casually pulling the heads off my rose bush not even noticing that its honking down!  >:D So i really know how you feel!  :005:

Yup, any kind of poo, either rolling in it or eating it.   ::)

Rolling in dead fish on the beach as Ellie did last week in Snowdonia.  I can't describe how bad she smelt.

I know you love to see the evidence, but Louie's need to find mud at any cost can be really annoying and tiresome, especially this year when we've barely had any let up in the weather to get dry walks... and this week when we were walking and the heavens opened, the little s*d decided that looking for rabbits was more important than recall  >:D

With Heidi it has to be her ability to wind Louie up and drive them to a barking frenzy to the point Lou gets worked up about what he was supposed to be barking at!  ::)

And Jasper has to be barking at reflections!

Dallas behaviour at mealtimes is horrendous!! You would think he hadn't been fed for a month!

Harlem's poo eating is getting pretty tiresome. If we are out and any of mine do a poo, he won't touch it but walk down the street a bit further and see the driest,oldest poo and he's right in there! And, even more annoyingly, he's always that fraction of a second quicker then me  :lol2:  All the others did it to some extent as a pup but grew out of it whereas he just seems to get worse!

 :lol: :rofl1: :rofl1: That makes me feel so much better  :lol:

For me it's the rolling in dead rotting things - poo I can handle, maggots I struggle with.

And I WISH Norms wasn't obsessed with blindly and deafly excavating every frickin' burrow she can find  >:D >:D >:D

Me too --- they do sleep though till about 7.30 then Wilf begins whinging. This didn't used to bother me but with this blasted illness I have to have a lot more sleep nowadays so I can function (its awful for me as am not a 'lie in' type of person). I woudln't mind but its not becuase he wants a wee its because he's hungry (and its not as if I starve them).

 :rofl1: :rofl1:  Haha....very funny.  I wish Bronson didn't eat stones from the back garden.  I feel so sorry for him when he is pooing them out.....it must hurt him......but at least we don't have to assist  :'(   He is very good at gardening though, he pulls all of the weeds up so saving us a job  :005: :005:

eating her own poo.
Although, vomiting it back at 01.30 whilst on holiday in an open plan cottage was a million times worse!

I wish Ches didn't like smothering me. I know everyone loves a cocker cuddle but Ches insists on putting his chin&neck over your mouth and nostrils so you can't breathe. And the more you struggle, the harder he presses down. Little pyschotic weirdo.

Also gonna echo the dislike for his poo-munching.

my OH quite so much- he used to be a real Mummys boy and now he is sharing the love!! Nice when you want a breather but not so nice when he prefers to sit with OH on the sofa and not me :'(

(Gizzy) bounding into the room and onto the sofa with some amazing, mostest fun ever, prize she's just found in another room. Just this second it's a roll of cotton wool which means she'd been upstairs and I sit contemplating what the heck else she's gotton into.
...and poo!

(Wherry) 'stroking' me  >:( & wall of death when i've just plumped the cusions and straightened the rug etc

The whining at 6 am! I never knew a dog could make such a sound! Barking I can deal with! Eating cat poo-yuck and running off with the underwear out of the laundry, and trying to eat my socks when I am trying to get my feet in them, nicking OH's razors and toothbrush if he leaves them on the floor in the shower ( he will never learn)...why did I get a dog again?

Oh yeah coz she's COOL and I LOVE HER!!!!!! :luv: :luv: :luv: >:D
