The silence speaks so much with cockers...!!  I have found with Monty it generally means he's up to no good  :005:


I'm so glad you have them both back and they are fit and healthy.  They are such a gorgeous pair...is Brocky staying for good??  :luv:

Well that's another year or so off your life. Bless them for sticking together and being such clever doggies  :luv:

They do stick together. In fact, in a desparate attempt to win Mrs Bridges heart over that of Byron, he managed to convince Brocky to pose as a cow with Rommel milking him.

I guess this was to prove to Mrs B that he would be good on the farm...




:rofl1: cracking photo! I'm glad you got them ...and that they stayed together.

OMG what a scary thing  :o  I would be beside myself  :-\  So glad you found them fairly quickly and they were OK - little b*ggers they were probably hiding behind a dustbin the first 9 times you went past them having a right laugh - can just see them like a couple of spaniel Muttleys  :lol: 

Great that they stuck together though, partners in crime - now you are outnumbered it looks like they are going to lead you a merry dance  ::)  If they were mine they would be grounded for a week  >:(

The deafening silence is very descriptive, they are like kids, remember the time you check on them to find they are drawing over everything with a felt tip (kids that is, Whistler eats felt tips.). When my two are quiet its usually knicking knickers off the line, and burying them, or digging up the veggies we had just planted.
Seriously though its the way your heart plumets when you realise they have gone, my sympathy - I bet it is something you did not need when you got home.
Glad "the lads" are fine.

These cockers like to check our hearts are in shape, don't they?   >:D

Glad you found them both safe and well.

My heart was in my mouth when I read the first sentence of your post.

Little b****rs. Can't really blame them though, seeing as it was due to the local kids trying to frighten them and make them bark  by rattling the fences  >:( . I wonder if they (the kids) realised the gate had opened and saw them get out? Hope they got a fright and ran off. Perhaps they won't be doing it again.

Good to know they didn't go far. Fern ran off when the builders here scared her after they had removed a fence panel in our back garden. I was out at work. She ran straight round to the front of the house and was found sitting by the front door apparently.

I have just remembered a time when Louis was a 'teenager'. I opened the front door and he bolted straight out and didn't stop.  >:D Fortunately I live in a little cul de sac/close so he couldn't go far. It was when I heard unmerciful screams from a neighbour over the road that I realised he was in her house. The front door she had left open and Louis just let himself in.  :005: I had to run in her house to get him and when i got in there she (my drama queen neighbour and 2 little girls) were stood on their settee screaming, with Louis just stood there looking at them as if to say 'so wot ya gonna do'.  :D Obviously they dont like dogs, or maybe they didnt like Louis, who knows, I just got him and ran, giggling my socks off.  :D

She still doesn't speak to me now.  :005:

What a nightmare, I am so pleased you found them safe and well.  They seem to get on so well and wonderful company for each other.  I hope the kids stop doing that as its not at all helpful or clever.

Sorry I know it's probably not funny for people if they have a genuine fear of dogs, but reading it I just had the image of the elephant that is always stood on the tiniest coffee table when it sees a mouse in cartoons...do you know the one I mean??  It must have been so funny to see!!  :lol:

Well done Louie...in the 'rock, paper, scissors' game of life...Louie wins over drama queen neighbour!!  Keep the Louie stories coming, I really love hearing them and you just know his tail is wagging now as he remembers the time he escaped too  :luv: :luv:

Thank god you found them - that must've been a horrible hour!  It was bad enough when we lost Bella in the woods at the weekend when we stayed with some friends - I felt worse for our friends as they were so worried and starting to think we'd never forgive them, then Little Miss Shufflebum re-appeared (looking as relieved as us, it has to be said).

Normally I always have my phone and the whistle on me (as Bella's recall is pretty much 100% for that) but we didn't this time - both were at our hosts' house - that'll teach me....  ::)
