Drummer Boy from Grand Junction, Colorado~
Good Morning, Sue!
It should begin to get pretty quiet around your house this week! If my adding
is correct, Chloe's litter should be leaving for their forever homes. And poor
little Smoochie! I keep praying for a home for him. Has there been no interest
in that little guy?
And I see that you have 3 new litters on the way! At least these are a litte
more spaced out so that you'll be able to get a night or two of sleep in
between deliveries! LOL!
Drummer has been such a joy to our family! He's a smart little guy and catches
on very quickly. He's doing quite well in Puppy Class and the trainer loves to
see how well Drummer will do "sit", "down" and "stay". He may know verbal
commands and hand cues, but he also knows the sound of the treat canister, the
jar of peanut butter, and the bag of Cheetos! We accidentally dropped a Cheeto
on the floor - which he promptly gobbled up - and he has been addicted to them
ever since! He covers every square inch of the floor with his nose trying to
find any that may have abandoned their home in the bowl! Of course, we would
NEVER encourage such behavior! Those little cheesy treats just seem to jump
right out of the bowl when we're not looking! LOL!
Drummer had his second grooming appointment last week. The groomer comes right
to my door in what I call "The Groom Mobile" and did a full groom on him in 45
minutes! I'm sure that he wiggled a lot, but he was a happy camper when she
was done and was not afraid of her at all, so that was a good thing! She said
that he has a beautiful coat, that I can do anything I want with it and it
will look good.
I've attached a picture for you. Everyone who meets him, loves him! He gets
LOTS of attention at Petsmart when we go for Puppy Class. I have to keep
people away when we're working with the class - customers want to stop and pet
him! I'll pass people in the aisles and I'll hear them gasp and say "Look at
the Cocker Spaniel!" It's a credit to you and to High Calling Cockers! OK -
and I have to pick up my buttons up off the floor, too! LOL! But thank you for
such a wonderful dog! We love him SOOOOOO much!
I'd better get going! Busy day ahead and I need to get started!
Big Hugs from Colorado!
