Hi, i'm new!

[emma_and_tilly]

Hello everyone.... i'm Emma, married with 4 kids and a black working cocker called Tilly who will be 1 on boxing day. We got her back in feb and i've been logging on almost daily to read what's happening so feel like I know some of you already! We owned a show-type cocker about 8 years ago but rehomed her to my sister-in-law as she wanted her and we were finding it hard to meet her needs with our work commitments. We lost our GSD last month (10 and a 1/2) so Tilly is lonely, hubby not giving in to another though!! (i am trying!).
I've noticed a HUGE difference between our last cocker and Tilly, but whether that's due to the show/worker difference or just different temperaments I guess i'll never know!
Tilly gets 2 walks most days, varying in length but never seems tired! She gets no where near enough training as i'd like but luckily is really well behaved (i think!). I find it hard to devote as much time as i would like as my children as between 2 and 8 and I work 25 hours a week, but she seems happy and is loved.
Anyway......that's me! xx

Thanks for your messages, I tried to upload a pic onto my profile - thought i followed instructions correctly!! I am not very good with computers at all, I know how to put the pics from my camera onto the computer but thats it. I have no idea where to begin with 'photobucket' or anything else, is there a simple, non technical way of putting a photo of tilly on? Was just thinking so it displays on the left of the post under my name?

If not then she's basically a lovely black dog, with scruffy ears and a tuft that sticks up on top of her head. She has a small white flash on her chest and she's gorgeous!!

everyone's very friendly - it's lovely. Tilly will be one on boxing day and we're seriously considering getting a GSD again, (kids have already decided to call her Sheba!) - we must be mad!
