I've been meaning to write for a long time.
We are having so much fun with Drummer! He was 1 year old on October 14th and
we celebrated with a trip to the vet's office! Dr. Coons was very impressed
with him and said that he has a beautiful coat and was a very healthy boy. He
weighed in at 28 pounds - which Dr. Coons said is the perfect weight for him.
Drummer wasn't too happy to have his ears checked, but he tolerated it. He's
one strong and healthy boy!
Drummer did get to enjoy a new toy for his birthday. It's this wacky monkey
that you can stuff a tennis ball inside. He works like crazy trying to get the
tennis ball out! He succeeded one time, but I stuck it back in and he started
all over again with it! How he loves his tennis balls!
It has finally cooled off. We had very mild weather up until yesterday. We had
our first freeze last night. It hadn't even been CLOSE to freezing. It
normally freezes at the beginning of October, so this was unusually late (but
not a record - I think that the latest first freeze was November 6th). Drummer
is loving the colder weather. He was getting tired of the hot stuff. So was I!
I knew that it was going to get cold, so I finally pulled all of my annuals on
Sunday. I was getting really tired of watering them! LOL! I've never had to do
it so late in the year, but I didn't have the heart to pull them until I knew
that it was going to freeze. Now I'm glad that it's done.
Well, I need to run for now. I've attached a couple of pictures for you. One
is of Drummer checking out his new monkey-toy and the other is more of a posed
shot (he looks like quite the fluffball!). I'm praying for homes for all of
your little ones on the website. They're all so precious!
Thanks for such a wonderful cocker! I can't imagine life without him!
Smilin' and Wavin'
