Have to admit I loved all the preparation for a new puppy. The whole house got a clean so that when I picked the pup up I could just spend all my time with them. Even now I love buying stuff for them and have to exercise some self restraint
As the others cockers love socks so you'll never be short of dog toys though you may find you have a lot of odd socks.
I even went to the extent of making some dog toys for Misha when she arrived - here she is with a big bone that I made for her - sadly with my sewing skills it didn't quite resemble a bone, more a big white pillow, but she didn't care and it lasted until her little brother arrived and it was de-stuffed on a big scale.
