My American cocker Chloe was not expected to live 2 years ago, she had half of her insides removed and for two months the wound was open and we had to serringe her stomch out 3 times a day, she has never shown since and is retired, yesterday when getting ready for a companion show she jumped up & down and insisted we took her along.She then was awarded reserve best in show, what a tear jerker to us, it was a miracle,. then today Ruby was in her last puppy class & got BPIS ,shes been a real boost for us, both girls are a pleasure to own. A real emotional weekend ,may have been companion shows but to us just as important as any other show to us. Yes i am a REAL PROUD MUM!!!!! kx.
