you can always rely on a cocker to sod up the greatest plans...

although just wanted to say how responsible you are in not taking her whilst in season....we went away in the caravan last week to a beautiful site where there were lots of dogs and we encountered 4 people there with dogs in season...i was shocked

.... i would never take any of my girls away in season.
the poor male dogs on the site were pining, howling and a couple of owners said their dogs has been a little aggressive which was very out of character, so give yourself a pat on the back for making the best decision.
