This week's Sepia Saturday prompt photograph shows a large hairy dog atop of a man's head and shoulders in a loving cuddle. Cue for me go for the obvious and hunt out our doggy pictures on life over the years with three much loved cocker spaniels.
Cocker Spaniel no. 3 Casmir (Cass) . an orange roan who loved to have a cuddle.She was well known in our small town because of her distinctive colouring.
A sleeping pair - husband with Cocker No. 2 - Coleen - a blue roan. We bought her from a kennels who had tried unsuccessfuly to breed from her. But she soon settled into the luxuery of a home life. You had to hunt for those dark eyes,hidden in her black fur.

I cannot let this post go without featuring our first cocker spaniel - Beauty, who joined the family in 1978. When she died, we could not imagine family life without a dog - hence in due course pet numbers 2 and 3.

ReplyDeleteYou guys couldn't possibly be any cuter. I especially love the very first photo, as well as the one with the little girl and a very obedient dog. Great photos...all of them
ReplyDeleteYour cocker spaniels have such pretty faces. I can tell they are well loved.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pix of your sweet doggies with daughter and husband. And you're right. Once you give your heart to a pet it's simply open to all comers thereafter! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dogs. My uncle had Cockers for a while...they weren't friendly towards us children however.
ReplyDeleteQuite a nice selection of Cocker Spaniels. My aunt had one, but we steered away from him as he could be snappish.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful fur babies they are...much loved and indulged.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection of Cocker Spaniels! Such friendly dogs -- what's not to love?
ReplyDeleteCute dogs photos. They must very love to cuddle. The love of a dog will never leave you, even after they're gone.
ReplyDeleteThe first dog I ever met was my grandparent's cocker, an all black spaniel with a fetish for chewing pebbles. When I was 5 my mom got me a blonde cocker puppy which sadly got loose one night a few months after and was struck by a car. Thank you for your kind words on my post this week. My mother could have produced a great blog just on her many stories of dogs, cats, and other animals. Her Schnauzer is on my sofa now, having taking over the job of house alarm from my flat-flat who prefers to just be the official greeter.
ReplyDeleteA belated thank you to you all for sharing your doggy stories. Our three cockers meant a lot to us and we found them loving, friendly good natured pets that enhanced our everyday life.
