Hello from Berkeley
« on: January 16, 2012, 02:23:01 PM »
Hello!

Just a quick introduction, I am Ali, Hubby Craig and 2 daughters Aimee 10 and Harriet 5.  We have been in Berkeley for just over a year now after moving from Monmouth.  I have been fostering for various rescue since 2004 but have yet to be owned by a Cocker  :luv: I am living in hope and keeping everything crossed!  I'm also hoping to be able to foster for CAESSR very soon

I currently go "Cocker Spotting" at the weekends on the pretence of having a family walk for health purposes  :005: I managed 2 yesterday while strolling around Westonbirt Arboretum  :lol2: both lovely blue roans  :luv:

I shall be keeping an eye out in the meet forum to see if there are any planned walks that would be close by or within travelling distance (work day permitting!) I know Blaise Castle quite well as I am originally from Shirehampton and also enjoy walking along the Bradford on Avon Canal and Westonbirt Arboretum

Hi Ali and welcome to COL, I think that you will fit right into this forum but beware it is addictive, fun and full of help and support.

Hello and welcome to COL. I'm in Dorset and owned by Maisie, a light roan little girl who we've had since she was 9 months old. She was a surprise addition to the family and is very much loved.

It sounds like you have had lives full of plenty doggie friends already  :luv:. I hope you also get your wish for a cocker soon too. They are addictive  :luv:. Like you, we've been 'cocker spotting' for years :lol2: :005: and are always accosting some poor unsuspecting cocker owner for the chance to talk cocker for 10 minutes!

Hello and Welcome, we have a year old working strain cocker and are from the midlands.

This site is addictive for sure. Hope you find a cocker real soon  :D

Hi!

We are newbies too and live in Gloucester - not that far from you.  Pepper is a 9 month working cocker and Westonbirt is on my list of places to take her to.  See you there  ;)

Hello and welcome to the forum, I used to live in Breadstone so I know Berkeley well.  We can often be seen at Westonbirt, normally at the weekends.  I have two mad orange cockers who are usually in bright pink Equafleeces, you won't miss us!
