I had to give my two boys up when I got divorced 4.5 years ago to my ex-wife. The Cocker was hers and I couldn't bear to separate them. I make sure to see them whenever I can.

7 year old American Cocker named "Buster"
6 year old Husky/GSD mix - "Murray"

I've since got 2 more and the four of them couldn't be a closer knit bunch at all...even though all of them are males.

3 year old Pembroke Welsch Corgi name "Jake"
7 mos old Wiemeraner named "Oliver or Ollie"
