I'd been
wanting another cocker for some time, but I thought it was best to
wait. Wait, that is, until I happened to see this photo of a
six-month-old puppy who needed a home.
She'd
been intended as a show dog, but things didn't work out for a number of
reasons, and I fell in love with her photo right away. She was my
favorite color combination -- a red/white parti-colored cocker spaniel
-- and she was so sweet! After communicating with her owner to get
details and work out the logistics, we drove to Bakersfield, CA, on
Feb. 2, 2008, and brought our new baby home. We named her Bisou, which
means "kiss" in French -- and she does love to kiss! <G>
As it
turned out, she was born on our anniversary, July 7, 2007, so it really
did seem as though it was meant to be. :)
Here's a picture of her playing with two other puppies before coming
home with us.
The black and tan was also going to a new home, and the black
and white belonged to the family who was taking her.
Once we got home, Bisou and Dexter got acquainted,
and they seem to be working out well.
She's very playful -- this is just about her favorite
position. <G>
