You know your cocker loves you because...

[Beth]

... when you ask your baby son for a kiss, your sleeping cocker suddenly leaps off his bed, bounces on to your lap (squishing said baby in the process ) and snogs you to within an inch of your life.

  poor Indie though These babies that live with cockers are used to that!!

ahh, i've just figured out that it may just be cupboard love after all... I'm defrosting turkey necks. Ahh well!

Indie is forever getting licked, nibbled, squshed, knocked over, whacked in the face with tails, and he STILL loves the dogs. Silly boy!

i think it's very important for a child to get it's daily quota of cocker slobber, life just wouldn't be right without it

Yesturday there were 4 cockers in the house, including a young pup, Lily sat on the sofa totally unphased

true enough

Indie and Lily are probably the healthiest kids going. Any kid which lived in my house would have been exposed to every bacterium known to man within a matter of hours, they'd have an immune system of steel

Same here

Well I'm not surprised at all, I think the only reason she got tetchy at Crufts was because she wanted to get in the ring with the dogs, all 30 odd of them at times 


Was going to say the same about building up their immune systems too.

[silkstocking]

Actually the practise nurse has commented a few times on it being good for children to live with animals for exactly that reason when I have taken Lily for innoculations...............not the subject of dogs comes up with everyone I meet

And Michele you are probably right, I mean she was fine when she was dragging that pink ( now very dirty!!) poodle toy round the NEC on its lead wasn't she

So then I can add to Beths original post by saying: you know your cocker loves you when its happy to share its germs and bacteria with your child to build up his/her immune system........... bet the cockers are carrying around a live vacine or two

[JackieD]

We have the problem that Maddy just Has to be kissed bye bye when my girls are going home, so much so she jumps on my knee and puts her head between us so she gets the kisses instead of me  She then proceeds to pass them onto me tenfold 

[debsallen]

if any of us in our house say 'kisses and cuddles'  no matter how sparko Barney is he is there, paws on lap kissing for England, inbetween whoever it is that wanted the kisses in and cuddles

[EmmaA]

....he comes and gives me big meaty kisses straight after dinner.
Now if that isn't love then what is.

I agree with the dogs around kids I think it's great for them to learn respect for each other and share their disgusting habits with each other as well.

Definitely. My two are affectionately known as "salmonella breath" but it doesn't seem to have caused Indie any harm.

i agree, connor is rarely ill. on the other hand my cousin is an obsessive cleaner. her two children (5 & 6) are constantly ill and on anti biotics for this that and the other
