Weston-Super-Mutt
« on: July 28, 2006, 03:04:27 PM »
Hi

All, just joined COL and thought I would introduce US.

I am Steve (Daddy) I live with my partner Claire (Mummy) and we have very recently rehomed a 6 month old cocker (debateable) from the RSPCA called Tarka. I say debateable because we are not sure he is a purebred due to his size (Please see other topic "Cocker or Not-er")

We all live happilly, most of the time, when the pond isn't Tarka's playground in Weston-Super-Mare and although we have not had the little soul long (about 3.5 weeks) we are both absolutely mad about him.

I have enjoyed reading a number of other posts and look forward to conversing with you all. Thanks for all the tips that are posted, I am sure they will be invaluable to us.

Playful nibbles to you all. **we'll soon sort that out** ;)

Hi and welcome to COL  :D

Tarka is lovely and it sounds like he's certainly landed on his feet with you and your partner!  :luv:

I have Alfie, a 7 month old blue roan working cocker and I think that Tarka looks a lot like him so my vote is that he's a worker... yay another one!  :shades: :005:

Welcome to COL.  I have Pringle a 7 month old blue roan.  I live in Norfolk now but know Weston very well.  I was brought up there and lived there until I was 21 and left to get married.  Have many fond memories of riding along the beach when I was growing up.  Used to go back regularly until my mum moved to Wiltshire 3 years ago.

COL is great.  Everyone is very helpful and friendly and saved my sanity on many an occasion.

Welcome to COL Steve, Claire and Tarka  :D

Tarka is a very lucky boy to have found a forever home with you.  :luv:

I have Barney, gold cocker puppy who is just over 4 months old.  I also have Sapphi, black lab and Max, golden retriever.

Enjoy the forum, addiction is not optional.  :005:

What an excellent name for your dog!
We go to Locking, just outside Weston-S-M most years for our holiday. 
We were there in May this year and still love it just as much as ever. Lucky you to actually live there - still when we win the lottery and escape from Kent, we will come and see you!!!!
Best of luck with Tarka - you WILL get addicted to COL - I haven't even got a cocker and I am addicted!

Hi and welcome to col. Tarka is a beautiful working cocker, albeit a larger one imo. The pond as Tarkas playground more or less proves it!
Well done to you and Claire for taking on a rescue. is he your first dog?
I have a working cocker Fern, she is seven years old and is my 4th dog and my OH's 6th, although she is an only dog atm.
