What a handsome boy you are Schatz! We are glad you are still a very happy and playful energetic boy! It is only the few white hairs on your face that belie your age, and even that is just a number! We are glad you love children, even if that means you don;t like other dogs as much! Children who meet you learn that dogs are not scary, and that is good for everyone! We are not surprised you are a "velcro" boy - Cocker Spaniels are well known for their loyalty, and also for those big brown pleading eyes! Congratulation, Schatz! You are Dog of the Day for the whole world to celebrate!
