Hi everyone
We just joined today, took quite a while to find which key to press to be able to post a message. Twenty four hours actually!! Eventually had to give in gracefully and ask teenager son and daughter for help!
I have a black cocker who joined our family when we lived in France for three years. Her name had to begin with a "U", really difficult unless you wanted Ursula or Urmintrude so somehow we ended up with Uliss. Which gradually transformed into Useless. She lives up to her name splendidly, completely deranged, if there is a wrong way to do it she will jump in with both feet, refuses to answer to any requests unless mummy asks. Rather like she is playing her own game of "Simon said" at school but with mum instead of Simon. Drives everyone else completely up the wall. We all love her to pieces.Useless on the other hand would probably prefer a world with just mum and her in it. She has a small side kick,Maltese terrier, who spends his life collecting bits and pieces and then placing them in lines! Three cats and three horses who are definitely beneath her.
I had an orange roan cocker about twenty years ago called Bertie, he was just as batty. My husband threatened to buy him a revolving door he had to let him in and out so much, probably would have worn the hinges out!
We now live in New Zealand, Bay of Islands right at the top of the North Island. We have been here two years, the dogs and cats came with us, Very well travelled animals, East Anglia, France and now here!
I will ask children to help with a few photos when they get home from school, no chance of finding right button to press there!!
