Always wanted a springer spaniel. Had 2 border collies and they’re absolutely special. Animals? Over most people anytime. Loyal, loving and true. My friend and I were walking toward a woman with a baby and a dog. She went for the baby. I went for the dog. But that’s the joy of best friends - like here - we can love different things and still love each other.

Had a champion English Springer (tri-color) that wandered when hunting. He’d stand up on pheasants but get easily distracted without ^constant^ work/birds. Great dog and the kids really loved him.
Went into the road and got hit. I still think of him as a true champion spaniel. But...
C’est la vie.
Well, maybe that’s the great thing about babies. They’re more like animals. They haven’t been corrupted yet.
