How does your cocker make you laugh?

[joanne_v]

He did indeed, he must have had his weetabix this morning! He was loony all day long, kept leapfrogging the other dogs and going daft with a teddybear!

My old dog Piper, in his youth used to have a large orange space hopper than the kids had outgrown. He would grab the handle, run around the garden and then bounce himself off the garden fence, tumble over several times then still with the handle in his mouth do it all again. It was an unbelievable image

Our little girl Chloe, she used to throw herself back and sit like a meerkat.  Here is an example.



I know she looks really fat but it was the steroids.  Actually, she looked more like Tommy Cooper!

 
Bless her!!!! That is EXACTLY why I got my first cocker! I looked after a friends cocker for the weekend and he was sitting on the front seat of the car next to me as we drove off to go to the woods for our walk and half way through the drive he tapped me on the arm with his paw, I looked at him and he sat up like a squirrel and just looked at me with this blank expression! I nearly crashed the car laughing  That sold cockers to me

    Chloe used to do it all the time.  She would give the appealing look at the same time.  Bless, they are hilarious aren't they?

Not a single days goes by without a good laugh, living in a house full of cockerspaniels

Milly cracked us up this afternoon when we came back from the woods, she decided to charge back and fore from one end of the kitchen to the other, this went on for a good 10 minutes and she seemed totally oblivious to us laughing our head off, not to mention poor Paddy hiding under the table wondering what the hell had got into her, he just sat there watching as  much to say I ain't goin near her she's crazyyyyy.

Paddy is so laid back; I love when he is happy and gives a big smile, you don't even need to look at him when your out, you can tell by his breathing that he is having a ball and is smiling from ear to ear. Aw bless

Ben is a real clown - but my favourite thing is at night when its time for the last visit to the garden before bed, he knows I'm going to turf him out into the cold, he squeezes his eyes shut and lies really still like he is asleep, but I know he's not because his tail wags as I get closer and closer, and then when I'm stood beside him he just has to open his eyes to see whats happening and it gives the game away  then he rolls on his back and wiggles really exitedly until I convince him its time to go out.  He does it every night without fail -

  That's brilliant

Holly makes me laugh when she sits back on the settee and uses her paw to drag my hand to her belly for a tickle. She also makes me laugh when she has a mad moment rubbing herself all over the cushions and throws herself about when she thinks that no ones looking.

Sadie makes me laugh when she puts her head under a blanket or coat and just freezes and waits for you to take it off. When she hears you say anything remotely like the word squirrel she pricks up her ears and dashes out of the dog flap from where ever she is.

Pippa is such a flirt and the bigger the dog the better but then if it takes an interest she comes tearing back to me and jumps with a please mum pick me up look.

Cockers to me mean fun, laughter and love

Just have to add: BEWARE what you teach your dogs.

 Once I taught Helmi to touch my nose with hers. Well, you never know how it ended  . I was watching tv, eating a sandwich and then suddenly saw something black and white approaching from the left, quickly touching my nose.. And run off, with my sandwich!!

On another occasion, I was eating popcorn and Helmi brought me a sock she had found. Without much thinking, I gave her one popcorn and took the sock. Well, she was very quick to learn. Now everytime I have popcorn popping in the microwave  Helmi goes and collects a pile of socks (she opens the drawer and takes them from there). She wants to be ready when the popcorn comes out  .

Helmi is the naughtiest dog (and also the funniest and most clever one) I've ever owned and on many occasions I have been ready to take her back to her breeder (but then I realised I've bred the bloody thing myself) but I can only love her (you really shoud see the "wasn't me" faces she pulls).

Helmi is also very scilled in blaming others for the things she's done. Once I went to the living room, saw Helmi chewing on the remote control. When Helmi saw me she practically threw the remote to the sofa where Viggo was sleeping  and tried to look very innocent herself..

We laugh at our 2 all the time but the story we tell the most is the one where ~Cassie is obsessed with swimming and if we go on an evening walk we don't want her to go in river and be wet for bed so on lots of occasions she has got her ball and actually thrown/dropped it in herself so she can go and get it  
Maisie bless her is funny her character has really come through now ~when walking the other day we saw a lady we know and Maisie has a tendency to sit on your feet as we talked to this lady she decided to back up and sit on hers and whoops a wee came out and the lady had crocs on (with holes)
But they do make us laugh if we didn't laugh we would cry especially through the early puppy hood stages!!!!

Pippa and Sadie have learnt how to open my rubbish bin but only when it is nearly full.

One sunday evening we were sitting in the front room and Pip came bounding in all pleased with herself, jumped up on the settee and presented me with the lamb bone she had just stolen from the bin - she's not the brightest of dogs

yesterday afternoon me and connor were sitting on the back step waiting for sam to have a wee. connor had a car in his hand, everytime he'd push it back and for on the step sam would run up to the back fence speed back and zoom through in between us and jump into his bed. me and connor were wetting ourselves so repeat the above about a hundred times

I love it when we are all sat around the boardroom table having a discussion, then THAT SMELL hits you and we are all holding our noses and laughing as Whistler looks up as if to say "wasn't me!!" and buggers off in the other office.

And the moaning when he has to go out for a wee and he is sooo comfortable.

The ears are a hoot! flying along when he runs, and the look when they have a toy in their mouth and they look up showing the whites of their eyes "please play with me i'm good" look. priceless.
