Today we collected the newest member of the family - River! She's an 8 week old Working Cocker Spaniel. So far she's been absolutely fantastic - playful, affectionate and very good with my 3 year old daughter. Tail hasn't stopped wagging since we collected her. Needless to say we are totally delighted. Wish us luck for a good night sleep and a successful vet check tomorrow morning!
Scrumptious pupster. Look at her on that immaculate vet bed! Best of luck today little one. Here's to a clean bill of health x
Oh wow, what a gorgeous little girl. So tiny in her crate . She reminds of our first family dog, she was a little cocker spaniel who was absolutely my best friend and playmate. Hope you had a good first night and everything goes well with the vet check
Thanks for your lovely comments everyone. The vet check went really well - clean bill of health. She slept downstairs in her crate/playpen and didn't wake us up in the night, which was brilliant - but I woke up worrying about her around 4am anyway, which was less brilliant We've started clicker training sit, hand touch, bed and crate in very short sessions - she's very keen on learning and interaction at the moment, but not the biggest fan of eating, so I will definitely have to find some more tempting rewards for her when she's feeling more independent. So far so good though
Good to have a clean bill of health from the vet River's appetite will probably improve as she settles to her new home. So many changes for a little one. Well done River on sleeping through the first night, now you just need to follow the example Lucy
