20 Things All Cocker Spaniel Owners Must Never Forget

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 812

The Cocker Spaniel is primarily a beloved companion dog breed, though he remains a capable bird dog at heart.

Beautiful to look at (and labor-intensive to groom), the Cocker’s amenable, cheerful disposition also makes him a treat to have in the family.

Never more pleased than when he’s pleasing you, he’s as happy to snuggle on the couch with his favorite adults as to romp in the yard with the kids.

It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Cocker Spaniels are no exception!

But sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted. There are important life lessons that are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, that all Cocker Spaniel owners must never forget.

If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Cocker Spaniel owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…

    Boy, this was tough to get through. Our. 13 year old Cocker has lymphoma and her time with us is limited. We love her and we hope that we know when it is time to let go, but for right now we are trying to give her the best life possible.

    This goes for every dog. I have a choc lab that I love so much that thinking life without him physically hurts. And when the time comes he will go on my lap on his sofa in our home. I will pay extra for this so that he is not frightened and so that he will feel all of our love.

    Our Emily is close to 16 years old, had two total ear ablations, relies on tachrolimus twice a day, and recently survived surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from her leg. Another tumor has come back. My husband and I have made the hard decision not to put her through chemo or radiation. Instead, we are giving her palliative care and holding her close until the inevitable day we call our wonderful vet to make the appointment we are all dreading. As a child I was surrounded by cockers my parents, aunts, and uncles hunted and played and shared a life with. Over the years I have had Afghan Hounds, chihuahuas, and mixed breeds as well. But these cockers, these amazing cockers have filled a void like nothing us ever has. When Emily crosses the Rainbow Bridge, we will find old and abandoned cockers to take in and give them the best end of time we can. We will love them and nurse them and see they leave us with dignity arms wrapped around them to comfort and soothe.
