Hello, new and nervous!
« on: September 12, 2010, 02:52:58 PM »
Hi I am new to COL and just finding my feet with all this, took me ages to register this morning because Archie, my Orange Roan always sit by the computer when I am working at it, and as he moves about to re-comfy himself on my foot he kept pressing the main button on the system tower, and switching it off!!

So I am amazed I am finally here!

I have two wonderful cocker's, Archie (as mentioned above) is nearly 6 and Bingo my bonkers Blue roan is 18 months old.

I have had cocker's for 17 years so you probably get the gist of what sort of person I am........ I will leave that one with you.

Nice to meet you all and look forward to becoming a regular on this site.

Hello and welcome to COL

I am Kath and have Skye, a 12 month old blue roan diva!  I am new to cockers, but also have a 2 year old nervous black lab who has been a challenge to say the least, and faithful old Jock, my 13 year old Westie who is an absolute gem.  Love 'em all to bits  :luv: :luv: :luv:

I am sure you will enjoy the site, although it is very addictive  :005:

Hi and welcome to COL  :lol2: no need for nerves, you will find this forum is very very friendly and helpful, I love it. I have two working cockers, Freya is 13 months and Harvey is nearly 5 months, they are my first dogs so I've found all of the advice here to be invaluable  :blink: Enjoy, and pictures of your two really are a necessity  ;)

Hello and welcome  :D

My 2 boys are similar ages and colours to yours. Orange roan William is 6 and is a sweetheart, while blue roan and tan Louis is 15 months and a real handful at the moment. Do your boys get on with each other? William is still living in hope that Louis is just visiting and will go away one day  :005:

Hi and welcome from me and mine  :D

Looking forward to pics soon


as he moves about to re-comfy himself on my foot he kept pressing the main button on the system tower, and switching it off!!

Yep, I've got one of those too, I wrote a long reply on a post last night and just about to post when the whole system rebooted when Charlie lay against the tower  ::)
