I am a new member to COL trying to find a little spaniel to call my own and as we speak trying to adopt a fabulous little girl. Fingers crossed everyone. I have had spaniels in my family all my life, my parents owning them and then me and now my daughters, Caroline, who has a delightful spaniel called Hurley and Abigail who has a softie Cavalier King Charles called Reggie. I love them both but want one of my own. My youngest daughter has a sort of bulldog called Clay. He's lovely but a bit too strong for me! My husband has now agreed,m after much debating (and arguing!!) that a little spaniel would keep me company now that I am retired (how did I manage to work before I ask myself) so everyone send good thoughts that I might be lucky in adopting this little dog.
