Always love updates, this is a cherished cocker alumni family right here!!!!! Hello, my name is Cooper and boy have I got an update for you on my Forever Home and Family of 5-1/2 years now. This year was really great. I turned 6 years old and my Mom and Dad got me three new Cherished Cocker friends this year - 2 boys and a little girl. Tucker came first followed by Duncan and then Rosey. It started out really sad when we lost our good friend, Cody just a few weeks before his 14th birthday. Cody loved shrimp and he and I would eat shrimp together all the time. In fact we trained our Dad to feed us shrimp daily by parking ourselves in front of the frig at 5:30pm every day without fail and smacking the frig until we got some. I don’t eat shrimp anymore - in fact, I am on a diet now. I don’t like being on a diet much. Anyway, my Mom and Dad fell in love with the Cherished Cocker site where they found me and have been visiting ever since. When Cody went to heaven, they found Tucker who had been left behind when his family moved. We all love Tucker and are really glad we found him because he is so much fun. He plays all day long and loves to play tug with me. He rarely tires but when he does he loves to sprawl out on my leather ottoman but that is okay because I am good at sharing. We go for walks together and chase squirrels too. About 6 weeks after Tucker came to my house, Duncan came over and he lives here now too. Duncan is a little bigger than Tucker and looks like he could be my cousin but he is not on a diet and Mom says he won’t have to be because we are eating healthy now. We do not have cookies any more or table food. Mom gets us marrow bones from the butcher and we love marrow bones. Duncan was afraid of everything and has since made friends with the vacuum sweeper, blow dryer and the mixer. He barks at everything new that comes into the house. He likes to cuddle in the bed and spoons real nice too. About 8 weeks after Duncan came to my house, Rosey showed up and she lives with us now too. In fact my Forever Family consists of 5 cocker spaniels (including me) and 2 really cool cats named Spencer and Stuart. Rosey is tiny and can fit just about anywhere even under the bed. In fact, my toys went missing shortly after she came to my house and I found them (all of them) under my Mom and Dad’s bed. She likes to collect stuff. She likes to play too and she is no push over. She can hold her own in a game of tug; rarely wins but plays just the same. We are all really excited about Christmas because it is a holiday and there is no work on a holiday. We get to be home with Mom and Dad, we get presents and Grandma and Grandpa come over. We even get an extra meal of Turkey on Christmas too besides our breakfast and dinner. I am sharing a pic of my new friends in their Christmas sweaters and one of me in my antlers. Besides being really good looking, I am also a good sport ! That is all for now except we want to wish everybody at Cherished Cockers a Merry Christmas and very Happy New Year and especially Christine for bringing all these neat friends over to my Forever Home and making me and my Mom and Dad so very happy !!
