Hi Christine, Thank you so much for approving our application to adopt Dakota recently. He is just beautiful and a delight to own. When we collected him from his foster home we were told he would lie in the back of the car and go to sleep. Within five minutes of leaving Denise' Ken and I were smothered in big sloppy licks and then he firmly established himself on my knee in the front seat. We had no difficulties with getting him over the Border, thanks to all the paperwork you sent us, and on arrival home he eagerly explored the house and garden before taking over the couch - now his domain. Within an hour he was lying flat on his back, feet in the air, fast asleep and utterly content. When he's awake however he's full of life, bounding everywhere just like a big energizer bunny. He enjoys a 'rough-house' and thinks Ken is his big playmate.. Not knowing his history we were prepared for it to be a case of easing him into his new life, but he seemed to know this was his permanent home and has settled down extremely well. He spent the first few days sleeping on my bed although he has a nice bed of his own. I spent a week coaxing him to use his bed, telling him it was Dakota's. So now, at night after his routine of cuddles and big licks he is spending most of the night on his own bed. Our daughter and her husband saw him for the first time last week-end, it was love at first sight, and we said we'd have to search their car before they left, so that he wouldn't disappear to Newmarket! Considering we have only had him a month he is completely settled in his 'forever home' and we feel blessed that we decided to adopt an older 'rescue dog' We're enclosing some photos of Dakota , which you are free to use in your Newsletter along with any part of our letter. We are so pleased to have chosen Dakota, he has such a lovely temperament, we think he's wonderful. Whilst stroking his back it somehow didn't feel right, so we took him to an Animal Chiropractor. She said his back end is twisted, and as a result his leg and hip muscles haven't developed properly. She doesn't think he has been abused, but neglected, possibly confined or tied on a short rope which only allowed him to move a little in all directions. She is working to adjust his spine for him to avoid future problems. We thought we ought to tell you this, but we accepted him "as is" he's ours, we love him dearly, he loves us, and he's not going anywhere. He's in his 'forever home' Best wishes, Thanks for all you do for these animals. Rose and Ken Smith.

I thought you might like an update. Molly isn't the same dog that you gave me in Nov. She has adjusted so well. She is a snuggle puppy! And FULL of energy! I call her Fruit Loop! Christmas was a little stressful for her, what with her Daddy's huge family. But I was extremely proud of her. Everyone thought she was quit the lady. Molly travels wonderfully! & made a friend, Muffin. The 2 of them played & played. She goes to Doggy Day Care once a week. This has been wonderful. She has made friends & is learning that Mommy WILL be back. She loves going. Molly loves the snow & has acquired a little wardrobe. She even lets Mommy put bows in her hair. The cats are adjusting. Gryphon doesn't care anymore & has even made an attempt to play. Camilla? Well, shes tougher. She has finally come out of hiding & hisses only once in a while. lol The house breaking is so so & she will not go outside without someone??? We are working on that. The dog trainer at Day Care is impressed with her progress & the girl who comes to help keep my house clean is in love with her! Her grandmother & mother both have cockers. She says "people suck!" lol If I have forgotten anything, please feel free to contact me. Molly is a treasure & has brought joy back into my life. Thank you. Debbie Fortney

Chase (previously named Willie) is doing great. He is boss over our cats and loves it. He will randomly and spontaneously chase them. He was not able to tame Pepe (the big cat you met when you were visiting) so he gave up and cuddles with him instead (see photo). He loves our property in Streetsboro because he gets to pretend that he is an old sea dog (see 2 photos of him sailing with my son). Much to our surprise, we quickly learned though that he will try to jump in the water to go after the Canadian Geese that land on the water. When Chase first started living with us, he had a lot of accidents. We took him to a dog training class at CoPaw Cabana. It helped a little bit. However, at Christmas I hung reindeer sleigh bells on our door; a tradition I have been doing for years, and he started ringing the bells when he wanted to go out. Amazing isn't it!! Chase went for a hike at Richie's Ledges and he was green from all the burs he got into. There is also a photo of him after he played with the kids in the snow. This was our first lesson that mini snow balls will form on a Cockers coat if you don't keep it trimmed short. And finally, there is a cute photo of Chase peeking out our kids club house window. Our new house also has a lake so he will get to continue to sail and chase Canadian geese. I hope all is going well with your rescue efforts. Keep up the good work. You are awesome!! Leslie

Christine; Just a little update on Inky First, I decided to give him the good Irish name of Clancy. It fits him perfectly and he already responds to it. Well, I am absolutely in love with this little dog! I think he has the most beautiful face I've ever seen and what a shiny jet black coat. He is such a sweet, bright, funny fellow whose tail is always going a mile a minute, yet he has a calm, quiet disposition. Clancy is also a real gentleman -- he takes treats gently with his lips and doesn't jump on anyone. He was a great traveler on the way home, curled up in the front seat beside me. We take two long walks every day and he is responding well to leash training. Very smart boy! He also lets me clean his face and ears every day and sits perfectly still while I brush him and use the clippers. So easy to groom. He has settled in so quickly and easily. He sleeps on a big comfy dog bed in my bedroom, which he just laid right down on the first night like he knew it was his. His main goal in life is to be about one foot from wherever I am. In the evenings, he curls up beside me on the sofa while I read or watch TV, and he seems so content. One last thing -- Clancy loves piano music! Every time I play, he comes running and lies down right beside the piano and never moves until I stop playing. All my other Cockers loved piano music too. I can't imagine a more wonderful match. I've owned and loved black Cockers all my life, but this little guy is extra special. What a love bug and good, good boy. Many thanks to you, Rachael and Laura for a great adoption! Mary Kay

The story of Hanna and Erin I was looking at another cocker spaniel, actually, but that adoption ended up not being the right fit for me. Christine emailed me about Hanna and I instantly fell in love with her story and her pictures on the website. I started talking to Hanna's foster mom about Hanna and all of her stories about what a wonderfully sweet dog she was made me so excited to adopt her. Hanna's was a stray - two people found her on the side of the road. I can't even imagine getting rid of this dog or not doing anything possible to find her if she was lost. When I went to pick Hanna up, she immediately came over to me and nuzzled up to me so I could pet her. I was instantly in love with her. She is the best dog ever and honestly, I cannot imagine my life without her. I am so thankful for Christine and Jane. If it wasn't for the both of them (and the two people that found Hanna, Jack and Dianne) I would have never found this beautiful addition to my family

We adopted our dog, Brodie just a few days ago Brodie is wonderful !!!! He has adjusted so well. Its hard to believe that he has only been here a few days. He fits in so well with our home I can't imagine him not being here. I hate leaving for work in the morning but I can't wait to get home to see him. Even the cat likes him now. We feel so lucky and blessed to have him as part of our family. Thank you and Cherished Cockers so much for making this possible. Leslie

Wanted to send you a new picture of Blue. He is so funny and really a joy to have. I am so glad that we have him. He loves it here and he has a full 5 acres to run to his hearts delight. He thinks he is a lap dog even though he is too big. He also loves the grand kids Thank you again Rita and Ken Stahl

We adopted our dog, Carson, 4 weeks ago. He was about 10 weeks old then. I had always wanted a Cocker Spaniel, and happened to see an event on the news held by Cherished Cockers. I followed up online and saw him the next day! He came to us a few days later. We had to have him- he was so precious. At first he was timid, but within 3 days he came out of his shell and was following me around the house and playing with the kids. We repetitively took him outside to potty and he was consistently sleeping through the night and going to the bathroom outside after one week. Now we are focusing on socializing him and trying to tame the nipping and naughtiness of our puppy. He is doing great with training and is an affectionate, sweet little man. He is a wonderful addition to our family and is bonded to me now. We all love Carson. the Cassidy's

I have adopted the most perfect pet from Cherished Cockers and the experience was and is wonderful. Not only did I get my boy Derby but I met some wonderful people. Jami Mitchell Derby's foster mom is a precious, caring dog lover who goes way beyond the call of duty. We have stayed on touch since we met. I keep her up to date on Derby's latest pictures and adventures. My sweet boy is 9 months old and has had a very hard start in life but despite that he has a heart of gold. He loves everybody. The extent that Cherished Cockers people went to to save his life and restore his health warms my heart! Derby is a Boykin Spaniel that ended up in a cocker rescue and I believe his little guardian angel put him with those loving folks until he could find me and his forever home. Cindy L

I saw this picture on the internet under the Cherished Cocker site and fell in love with this little boy. His name is Midnight and he is about 8 months old now. He came from a man who bred his cockers and then could not place them. When he went to his foster parents he was petrified of people and wouldn't come out of the crate. His foster family also had other dogs so he learned to love people from his foster parents and how to act from his foster brothers and sisters. His foster family brought out all the loving that Midnight holds inside. They had him for about six weeks and he made wonderful progress. When I first met him he had spent hours traveling with folks he didn’t know to get to the house where I met him. He came into a house that had about five resident dogs and he came in with a person he didn’t really know. He was a little shy at first but within a couple minutes he was sitting on my lap and watching what was going on. He took a couple minutes before he bestowed my first kiss and it was a mutual love affair from that point on. I can’t emphasize enough what a joy getting Midnight has brought into our household. In January I had to have my 13 year old English cocker put to sleep. Since I live in Rochester, New York I planned to wait a couple months until good weather before getting another dog. However, it was immediately evident how lonely life can be without a friend meeting you when you get home. I had heard about dogs needing rescue from my vet and the local SPCA. The people at the vet’s recommended looking online for rescued cockers. After reviewing pictures of dogs from all over the US, looking at pictures of cockers of every age from infants to elderly I decided I needed a dog old enough to have already been house trained but young enough to be lively. It turned out that most of the pictures of the dogs I liked were from Cherished Cockers. So I chose a six month old all black boy puppy named Midnight and contacted Cherished Cockers to apply for being an adoptive parent. I did check with the SPCA and my vet to research what I should be looking for in a reputable group, one with the interests of both the owner and the animal at heart; a group that took the responsibility of finding these animals a good home very seriously. I am convinced I found that in the folks who work with Cherished Cockers. Everyone I talked to was informative, accurately defined the dog’s temperament and made sure it would match what I was anticipating. They thoroughly checked out Midnight’s future home and verified with my vet that I would make a good parent. They accurately described Midnight’s good and not so good points. Midnight is an absolute delight. He has been here now for a month and is always happy. He is never mean to anyone. He is cautious when new people come in but has only barked twice at a couple people. However he never has gotten nasty or even growled. Last week was his first visit to my vet. He was shaking all over when we first got there but allowed the people to come over and pet him. By the time the visit was over he was smiling at the vet and the people who worked there. One of the ladies who held him while his micro chip was being implanted made it a point to come out and tell me what a loving little dog he is. That same week he went to the groomers for the first time. It almost broke my heart to leave him there (he had that “Oh, no, you’re not leaving me are you?” expression on his face) but I did. The groomer said he was wonderful, a little scared but never nasty. She said he would get used to it in the next couple visits. You could almost see the smile on his face when we came home. He is always smiling; you can see it in his eyes. When he runs in the yard he is full of this overwhelming joy and exuberance. He bounds around in large circles, running so fast his ears fly out almost parallel to the ground. When we come back in he has to give me bunches of kisses just to say he’s glad to be there. He kisses everyone when they come home but stays with me the most. He sits beside me when I watch TV and sleeps on the bed at night. He also has this propensity for neatness. He has at least two chewy things on the bed at night. Before he is ready to sleep he uses his nose to push each one around on the bed until he finds the exact spot where he wants it for the night, he lines the others up in parallel with the first and only then he lays down and goes to sleep. He tends to keep his things together downstairs as well, taking one toy at a time to play with and usually ending up with things ‘put away’ before going upstairs to bed. He is young and full of life and love. Just what our home needed. Thank you Cherished Cockers. Sincerely, Linda and Midnight Mosher

Hello Cathy and Vikki, Just wanted to say hello and wish both of you a Happy Easter from Jorge. I love him soooo much and believe it or not he still loves me after I dress him up!! :) (did I mention that I paid him with alot of yummie treats for these pics) ha-ha Have a great day, Angie

Dear Cherished Cockers, It has been 4 months since Cooper joined our family and he is doing wonderfully. He is no longer crated and has the run of the house with our other two cockers, Doogie (4 yrs.) and Cody (9 yrs.). Cooper has brought out the puppy in Doogie again and the two of them romp and play daily. Cooper has settled in very nicely and has learned to expect a daily walk and ball game and fully enjoys both. He couldn't be more well behaved, gentle, loving and an all around great dog and companion with a lot of personality. He and Halle (our cat) are still working things out but she is no longer hiding from him. He seems confused by all the hissing she does at him but he walks up and gives her a big kiss just the same. He has definitely livened things up around our home and we feel truly blessed to be his forever home and companions. All the best and our thanks for providing us with this little character ! Cathi and John Majewski

Merry Christmas! I love my new home! I am very spoiled and loved! I have many new toys and the run of the house. I am learning new things and behavior. Mom says I am doing well. She is taking me to school next year. I don't know what that is but it will be a new experience for me. I have a great big yard and it's fun here. I have 2 beds of my own and a blanket. I have so many toys I have a basket of my very own to put them in. (well mom puts them in it) She says I need to learn to put them in the basket too. I tolerate Bridgette but I am jealous of her. She runs around more now that I am here. Something about missing some dog named Prince before I came here. I have a big crate and dad is going to build me a new wood one that will look like furniture. (whatever that means) Thanks for letting me move here. I hope you are all well and you found your puppy. Merry Christmas! Carson Thanks for all your work! From the Forever home of Carson Susan & Greg Hufford Union City, Indiana

A Letter from a father to the son that got them their dog Well Leo made his first beauty trip and did real well. He now has his own set of dog tags, dog license, and yes his very own scarf. He did well getting his bath and at the vet. He is adjusting well and is the talk of the neighborhood as neighbors come out to meet him. He is swamped with toys and likes the stuffed raccoon the best. He is well mannered and already will go to the door when I pick up his leash. He likes to play bounce ball and we have to laugh since he seems never tire out. He is sleeping well in his new crate and he hides under the pillows on our bed hoping to stay there. The Vet sees only minor ear problems and he is adjusting to us very well. He is not answering to LEO yet but he sure is a little lion hearted doggie. He startles with loud noises and voices but settling down more each day. He is a keeper and I hope he wants to keep us........yes he has a great personality and it shows plus he charms your mom and races her to her chair every time he can but then he settles in to sit and watch TV on her lap. Thanks again for all the effort you did and to the Rescue Service. We certainly would like to thank the lady that took the time and funds to save Leo from his former owner. Leo is learning people care and knows we are concerned about animals. Leo has big shoes to fill as our other animals were all great and still have their place within our hearts......Leo will get it done as he seems to be all heart. Leo-says thanks as he takes time out from playing catch in the backyard..........Dad Dale Griffis Tiffin, Ohio

We adopted a beautiful chocolate cocker named Parker. He has become a part off our life and my constant shadow. The only time he doesn't try to beat me out the door is when I go to work. He seems to know he can't go. The redness from the cherry eye surgery has disappeared and he has 2 big brown eyes. When we first got him and I came home from work he would wag his tail now he wags his whole back end! He has been camping in Canada and Pa with us. The first time I took Parker to the vet all the girls loved him and wanted to adopt him themselves. He is good with the 12 grandchildren that visit and will even walk right up and make friends with our sons 2 cats (they are getting used to him). Thanks to the loving people at Cherished Cockers for making these wonderful pets available for adoption. Thank you, Dorothy Dworek

Hi from Cocoa and the Perkins / Fallow Family We are the lucky ones who adopted Cocoa from Cherished Cockers. Recently, my Mom adopted a 6 month old cocker puppy, Daisy, and I fell in love. We didn’t even know we wanted a cocker spaniel! Once we found Cherished Cockers we knew we found the right rescue. We adopted Cocoa and she is a wonderful dog who fit into our family seamlessly. She even gets along with our very cranky rescue cats! Cocoa is a wiggler and does full body wiggles for anyone who comes to our house. Cocoa is much loved, petted, and played with. Why anyone would have given up such a wonderful dog is beyond me. Cocoa is the center of our home life and loves to ride in the car. We take Cocoa everywhere. Cocoa is a true Velcro cocker and we wouldn’t have it any other way. I can’t thank Cherished Cockers enough. Your organization is wonderful and Cocoa’s foster parents were an inspiration. Julie Perkins

December 2008 was a tough time for me. I was missing my cocker spaniel, Missy Mershon, who lived to 14 years and left me in 2006. I had already adopted Tori in 2004, who was left by her owners in a vet's office for three months, matted and in a kennel. Tori and Missy were my life! So, missing my Missy girl, I started looking on Petfinder.com. At this time in my life, I wanted a young cocker. Tori was 6 years old when she adopted me and was a lonely 9 year old cocker That is when I saw a very small cocker spaniel, the runt of the litter, named Holly, on petfinders.com. I automatically fell in love with her! I contacted cherishedcockers.com to find out how I could adopt her! There were cocker spaniels in the newspaper want ads, but I fell in love with Holly. After paperwork with Cherished cockers and numerous telephone calls, I was the proud owner of a precious little girl. Now, Holly, (renamed Julia Mershon after my grandmother) is almost a year old. This little girl is the light of my life and her daddy's little girl I commend the men and women of cherishedcockers.com for their commitment, dedication and love of cocker spaniels. After adopting Julia, I have even become interested and helped transport two cocker spaniels from Texas to Georgia. Julia is my baby girl and I thank Cherished Cockers every day for her! I would especially like to thank Sara Popp for putting up with all my phone calls, and to Erin Baker for fostering and loving my baby girl (and nicknaming her ladybug!) Erin and Sara are both very special to me!!! Thanks Joy Gipson Bagby

Dear Cherished Cockers Bob & I can't thank you enough for letting us adopt Mollie. You can rest assured she is being well cared for. Mollie is more than just a puppy to us, she is so much a part of our family. We don't know what it would be like without her. When we lost our first Mollie, we never thought we would get over her not being here. It still hurts because she was taken from us too soon, but our new Mollie is more than we could have hoped for. She is so loving and always giving us kisses. We have some bells near the door that leads to the fenced in area for the dogs. Mollie will go over and hit the bells with her paw when she wants to go out, she is so smart. The best part of all of this is that she really loves us. Thank you for giving us happier days MaryAnn & Bob Titterington

Dear Christine and Dennis, It's been a week since we met Hayley and picked her up from her Toledo transport mom, Deann Matthews. We wish to thank her and the rest of the "transport team" for saving us lots of miles since we live in northwestern Michigan near Traverse City. It was a long day but SO well worth it. We have added a new family member that truley is one of the sweetest and loving dogs we've ever known. Hayley joins our 12 yr. old cocker Darla and Harold the cat who basically lets us all live here. Katie and I had recently lost our other cocker, Molly, and frankly I was having more difficultly with her passing than I thought possible. After three weeks had gone by, I relented to Katie's suggestion that I look at your website. I did so while she was gone so she wouldn't know in case I still felt that no dog could replace Molly after browsing at all the cockers available for adoption. As I was looking at the photos, one immediately stood out. It was Hayley and her resemblence to Molly was unbelivable. At first I felt guilty trying to find another Molly rather than just looking for a new pet. But after reading her bio and seeing all the amazing similiarities I began to wonder if this was meant to be. When Katie got home later that evening, I told her that I had been on your website and had come across a dog that I couldn't get out of my mind. When I told Katie her name, she asked me to go to the computer desk and open the drawer and read the two names she had written down a few days earlier. One of them was Hayley. I knew right then and there that we were going to pursue her adoption. The next week seemed to take a month....we were so anxious to meet Hayley and bring her to her new furever home. We met Deann in Ann Arbor (that's the town that used to have a football team) and brought Darla with us so they could get to know each other a bit. After a couple of growling encounters, the ride home went well. When we arrived home, I was curious to see Harold the cat's reaction to his new sister. He was at the door when we walked in and was as nonchalant as I've ever seen him. I honestly believe he thought, and still thinks that it's a slimmed down Molly. In the week since we've had Hayley, we've seen many of the same traits that Molly had. We must now pick up the cat food as we had to when Molly was here. She loves to eat...gotta be careful we don't overdo it. She thrives on attention and appears to be happy 24/7. Her little nub is constantly wagging back and forth. We made a vet visit on Tue. to have a couple of things tended to: a rash on her belly that she constantly scratched, a minor infection in her left ear and an irritated pee pee area. After a steriod shot, some anti biotics, and some otomax for her ears, she is doing great. Her sleeping quarters soon became our bed and our ten acres is too good to be true, according to her. Our morning walk seems to be her favorite part of the day, other than feeding time and she loves the northern Mi. smells. Rest assured that Hayley has found her furever home. Thank you so much for bringing her into our family! Thanks Dave and Katie Taberski

Hi Cindy, Benny is just wonderful! He has quickly won our hearts. I've lost 10 lbs. running with him, he's a wonderful running partner. I'm thinking of getting him Rescue Dog certified, he is so smart and learning quickly to sit, stay, play dead, stay down, sit pretty (on his hunches), go to his bed, stay out of certain areas, and in general just how to behave. You're right that he loves to ride in the car, and is so quick to settle down. He hardly ever goes in his "condo" because I can safely leave him home alone and he behaves well. Thank you again for everything. He is such a joy to have in our lives. Vicky

Hi Christine, This is Adrienne Harris. I adopted Brody "Snoopy" from Cherished Cockers in November 2008. Just wanted to let you know that he is still doing great. I am so blessed to have my Brody boy. He is still acts like a silly boy and I love it. He enjoys chasing after his two sisters, the occasional squirrel that comes in the backyard, snuggling in bed at night and snoring like a lumber jack! I wouldn't trade him for the world Thank you so much for rescuing this little guy for me. Adrienne

Hi everyone, Just wanted to give you an update on our precious boy Louie! He's been with us for about two months. We searched and searched for the right dog for us, and he is definitely the perfect fit. Everywhere we go, we receive so many compliments on how cute and how well behaved he is. He was the star of his obedience school class and he just graduated this week! We love every one of his little freckles and the way he snores and sleeps in crazy positions -- heck, we love everything about him! We are so grateful to all of you for the amazing work you do trying to find forever homes for dogs like Louie. We can't imagine our lives without our little fur baby! We'll keep you posted on all of our adventures! Take care, James & Adrienne McBride

I am e-mailing to say thank you. In April of 2009, I adopted Jay through your organization. Jay was fostered with a great lady named Deanne, and although I would love to thank her personally, due to a computer theft, I have lost her e-mail address. Jay has become an absolutely wonderful addition to my family. I live in London, Ontario, and at the time that I adopted Jay, there did not seem to be many rescue cockers in my area, so I found Jay, and decided that a drive to Ohio would be worthwhile. Deanne was wonderful! Although Jay was not the dog that I had originally inquired about, she realized that he would be a better fit in my family, and she was so right. He rapidly became inseparable from my other cocker, Maggie. My father is in a long term care facility, and every other day when I visit, Jay comes with me. He is probably the most popular visitor that goes there. Everyone just loves to see him coming, and he is so calm and well behaved that he brings joy to everyone he meets. If Deanne is still with your organization, I would appreciate if you could pass my appreciation and the attached photos along. Thank you again, and wishing Cherished Cockers all the best in the New Year. Sandi Holland

Hi Just to let you know that I am well settled in with my new family... As you can see, they let me lay wherever I want too..and when they say its bed time, I lead the way to the bedroom and am the first one in bed (with them). I love the food and have not had an accident in the house..Dad takes me out often and we romp in the snow!.. They have left me in charge, and I am waiting at the door for them when they come home! Thank you, Christine, for finding me a home with these people..they really love me. Chole

I arrived at Christine's home on January 22nd to meet the dogs that she was fostering. As I was becoming acquainted with them, into the room walked Coal, a very handsome black cocker. He had just arrived at Christine's home an hour earlier. He had been rescued that day from the Mahoning County pound, just hours away from destroyed. Of the dog's that Christine had at her home, it was Coal whom most intrigued me. Christine asked me if I would like to be a foster home for Coal. I agreed that I would like to do so. I was not prepared to bring a dog home that evening and told her I would come back tomorrow morning to pickup Coal. As I was putting my coat on and getting ready to leave, I glanced down and Coal was sitting at my feet wagging his little stump of a tail with a look on his face that said "please take me with you". I told Christine, " I can't leave him. He's coming home with me tonight" Over the next few weeks I attended to a number of medical issues that Coal had and also brought him to the vet to have him neutered. It soon became apparent that Coal was a wonderful dog. He possessed all the qualities that I value in a dog. It was as if I ordered him built to my specifications. I knew that I could never give Coal up and that his foster home was going to become his Forever Home. Coal is doing very well in his new home. He is a friendly and affectionate little guy. He loves to play fetch and keep away with his balls and various toys. As much as I have grown to hate winter, I sure enjoyed playing in the snow with Coal. He loves to chase snowballs and romp through the deep snow drifts in my back yard. We go for long walks every day. He gets so excited when I ask him if he want to go for a walk or if he sees me reach for his leash. At night when it is time for bed, I ask him if he want to go "sleepy". He gleefully trots down the hall to my bedroom and jumps into bed where he spends the night with me. In the short time that Coal has been in my life, he has become my little buddy. I can't imagine being without him. I love him dearly!! Dave LaVigna
