Good morning, and Happy Sunday, Sue!
This is the day the Lord has made! Praise you, Jesus!

I hope you and Mike and your family are doing well! I hope you're enjoying Florida! My inlaws lived for many years and had a home in The Villages! Finding a home church is a big deal. I read on your blog that you did just that! Wonderful!

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you again for our beautiful and so very precious Twinkle! She is so smart! She loves to talk, and she pretty much runs the house around here! She loves her brother Teddy, and she is such a good example to him on how to behave! Teddy has his Championship. I wish I had shown Twinkle! When we were going to the shows, we would always bring Twinkle, and she was the most beautiful female around! Compliments came in galore from the cocker people on her!

I was wondering: Do you have a contact so I can purchase another puppy from your line, Sue? I hope your line is still being bred.

Well, I've attached a couple of photos of Twinkle and Ted!

May God continue to bless you and Mike abundantly with all good things that only comes from Him!!! Take good care! 😊

Lovingly,
Rebecca and Tim

Sue,



Just a chance that you still have this e-mail address. Thought you would like to know that the two girls we adopted from you in 2011 (Sunny and Molly) are providing us with extreme pleasure. Hard to believe that they will be 6 in August! Molly’s tail goes all the time! Sunny (with her coat on) is a little more subdued, but loves to roll on her back to have her tummy rubbed!



Hope this finds you in good health, and enjoying the summer.



Regards,

David and Lynn

Dear Mama Sue,
Not a day goes by that we don't thank you for our beautiful girls, Molly and Sunny. At three and a half years old, they are the sweetest, most loving dogs we have ever encountered. They are very definitely "people oriented", and love to be with us and snuggle. Being litter mates, they are VERY attached to each other, and are great companions. Molly had to have some extensive surgery on her knee last month, and the veterinarians at the Cornell Companion Animal Hospital were delighted with her personality. Several of them commented on her sunny disposition and the tail that never stopped wagging!
Our girls have dual citizenship now, as they have spent the last 2 summers at our summer cottage in Canada. They enjoy swimming, chasing seagulls, and being couch potatoes on the front porch. They love boating, and Sunny has been known to refuse to get out of the boat if she thinks we haven't had a long enough ride.
During the winter, we let their coats grow in, and with their full coats, they love to be outdoors in the snow. Both of them run full speed into the snow banks, burying their faces in the snow and coming up with snow everywhere! ( or they did...Molly is not allowed to play for another 6-8 weeks until her surgery is completely healed). They chase snowballs and the birds at our many feeders. Crows are especially worthy of attention.
These two sweethearts are very special to us, and we are so grateful that we can be counted as part of your cocker family. We hope this finds you and your family well, and WARM!

Lynn and David

Note from "Mama Sue"....

I just found these two emails from quite a long time ago. One was received in the middle of our move to Florida and the other one was received when Mike was so sick. I pray that David and Lynn forgive me for not getting them on the blog sooner! If any of our High Calling Cocker family has had this happen, please let me know and resend your emails to me so I can get them on the blog. Thank you and God bless you all!

Miss Maggie from Erie, Pennsylvania~

Hi Sue,

It’s been a long time and I apologize for not writing! Hope this email finds you both doing well! Maggie will be 6 years old in August and it’s so hard to believe that that much time has passed already. She has been and always will be a joy to have and for that we thank you! She makes friends wherever she goes with us as she is a very sweet girl. We love her very much and tell her daily she’s our best little girl! Her favorite toys squeak with balls being her most favorite...she does love her toys as you can see in the pictures!

As for Pat and I, I am still working and playing organ and choir directing at the church, although our choir is dwindling in number. Pat is working fulltime as a tall ship sailor based in Erie on a 125 year-old fishing schooner and is loving it. We’re enjoying our summer and hoping for a less snowy winter this year. Last year we had almost 200” of snow! That was our most ever and once was definitely enough.

Well, take care and thank you again for continuing the blog as it’s always nice to see the pictures and hear about the other High Calling Cockers!
Linda and Pat

Bethany and Tiffany from Tuckasegee, North Carolina~

Hi Sue,

Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. We’ve had so much rain they still haven’t gotten to do the grading to level the yard for the seed. This drives the girls crazy! They don’t  enjoy dirt and gravel so they go up the hill to find a grassy spot.

I can’t believe that Bethany is 8. She is such a wonderful girl and she has such beautiful features. She favors her late sister Bella and her mom, Daisy. I am so thankful I found you because your cockers fit the true mold. There are nurses that still remember Bella when we worked as a Therapy Dog team, which I miss greatly. She was a very special and unique dog, a true angel on four paws.

I remember when we flew up to get Bethany. That was so wonderful and filled my heart with joy. She is a loving girl who loves to cuddle. I know as she gets older it will be very difficult to loose her because of the love she gives. I pray I can find a breeder that believes as you do.

Tiffany, is 3. Hard to believe that much time has passed. She is a silly, loving girl who loves to play. Her personality is totally different which in many ways is good. She can make everyone laugh and how she loves her toys!

I pray that your family is doing well and you continue to enjoy your new home. I don’t know if I will ever get things set up and finished. I want to have a house blessing but I can’t until I get things in some form of order. Very difficult when it is only one.

Blessings, hugs and all my love,

Cherrie’, Bethany, and Tiffany

Update on our lives~

Hello Everyone!

I hope your Christmas preparations are going well and that you are experiencing the joy and peace that only the Christ child can bring. Mike and I have sold our home in North Carolina and have purchased a home in Florida, near Disney. We are enjoying our retirement and most certainly enjoying the nice weather! We don't get around very well anymore, so our next major purchase will be two scooters. I no longer own a cocker but found wonderful homes for Ladybug and Danger. They are much happier in their new homes, living with active families and sleeping on couches in the living rooms and in bed with their new owners at night. So that makes my heart glad.

I have found a new church nearby that is exactly what I've been looking for, so that too makes me very happy!

God bless you all this Christmas!

Much love,

Sue

Hi Sue,

I hope you are doing better and that Mike is too. I am certain it has really been hard. The girls and I are getting ready to move into out new home, which is about a thousand feet from our old home. We’ll be up on the ridge and have a great view. I pray the girls will be happy in their new home.

I know your family continues to grow and you are so blessed in many ways. You have blessed my life with the wonderful cockers I was able to get from you. Everyone is impressed by the “look” and gentleness that has always surrounded them. I still miss Bella as she was a true angle. I can’t believe Bethany, her half sister, is now seven. I’m so glad they had Daisy as their birth mom as it truly shows. You have done wonders which I can’t ever forget.

I’m so sorry there won’t be any more High Calling Cockers as you really did a fantastic job with breeding and giving them love which they brought into each home. Just pray that when the time comes I will be able to locate a breeder that is caring and gives the best care and love to each puppy born.

Bethany and Tiffany are doing well. Tiffany is so funny and brings joy in everything she does. Bethany enjoys having Tiffany around and if Tiffany get over playful Bethany lets her know she needs to calm down.

All my love and prayers to you and your family. I pray things are going much better for you, Mike and family.

Hi Sue,

We have a really bad snow storm which moved into our area! The first reports said we would have about 4 inches at most and that was for the higher locations. The next report said we could expect up to 12 inches.

Right now we have about 8 inches on the ground and it’s still snowing. Bethany and Tiffany just love the snow and want to play, run and jump all over the place. They have their new coats on, they’re a pretty purple and easy to see in all the white. They come inside then in a few minutes they want back outside for playtime!

They’re still working on my double wide. They told me yesterday that they only had about two items left to do. Not exactly correct but we are getting there. With the snow it is going to put a delay on things.

I’ve been praying that things are going better for you and you are feeling the renewed strength of Christ! I pray you can also find a new Church family which will give you the love and support you need.

I’m so glad you are in a new home that is warm and you love the way it looks! There are lots of items I’m going to give to good will and some of the other places. I just want to take my time going through the boxes. It very hard to pack up a huge lifetime of items. Since the house is almost 100 there are items from Grandparents and even some from great-grandparents. I had to go through the old barn, which was good… I found Mom’s old things she used in making lye soap and other things like that.

Guess I’ll go for now, have a wonderful evening and all my love to everyone there. Much happiness at the Christmas time of year.

Blessings and prayers,
Cherrie’ Bethany, and Tiffany 😊

Beautiful Sasha meets Father Christmas in Collingwood Canada

Beautiful Sasha meets Father Christmas in Collingwood Canada
Hi Susan,
Each year we take Sasha to the Georgian Triangle Humane Society for a Christmas photo. It is a great fund raiser for the society and produces a lovely memory for us. Here is this year’s photo. As you can see, she is just as beautiful as ever - a terrific little gal who has both Ron and I “over the side”. We can’t believe that
Sasha will be 6 years old on Dec 13. Definitely not officially a puppy anymore but still so full of fun and energy. (As I write this, she just stole a rubber band in order to be noticed. ) Where does the time go?

You haven’t posted anything on the blog for a long time. I do hope that is not because of illness or bad circumstances for you or the family. Your High Calling family worries about you too. My hope is that you are just heavily into quilt making!

Hoping that this finds you and yours happy and healthy. And wishing you a Blessed Christmas. With love and best wishes - Pat And Ron And Sasha.
