What kind of spaniel is he?
Springer
Railroad tracks ran on the north side of my parents farm. We used to take hikes along them when I was older, and the farm no longer belong to my family. My mother was always concerned that some nefarious people might have stowed away on the train and would come and do us harm.
She is a Brittany.
Brittany. Not a Springer. Winter and Summer are Springer Corgi mixes. Friday is a pure Brittany. No papers but that is because her mom was still too young for her health/hip check when she went in to heat and got with the breeder's male Britt.
I love spaniels. They have lots of energy but are very lovable dogs. Maybe you saw my post about a year ago about seeing one in the street who had been hit. I was sure he was dead, but when I spoke, he lifted his head and started talking to me.
Was he okay?
I didn't think so at the time. He was lying in a pool of blood that was larger than he was. I believe it was the woman who hit him who had stopped and had called maybe 911. (He had jumped the backyard fence and escaped.) She was talking to someone on her phone and I heard her say, "Yes, I'll hold." Then I asked her if he had a tag? If he did, I was going to call and let the owners know. Just then a woman comes out of the house right by us and says, "How did you get out?" She swooped him up and took him in. I thought because he just lifted his head to talk to me because perhaps his back was broken. I didn't know anything else for months. Then one day I was driving on a street a few blocks away and saw what I thought was him. I stopped and asked if he had been hit by a car? Yes. I parked and sat down on a small ledge and he came right over and leaned up on me. She told me that all the blood was from him almost biting his tongue off. He had to have stitches in his tongue. He also had a broken leg.
I remember you posted a picture of him later while walking with his owner. Have you ever seen him since??
I have not seen him since. He lives just a few blocks from a dog park that I frequent, but they never take him there.
What a cutie!!
And a love!
That is the breed. They are total lovers. If they have training they are cuddlers but know their boundaries. If they are not trained they will be uber pushy and demanding for attention.
Are your rugs crocheted?
Yes they are..
What is the material that you use to make them? I wonder if you might do a post about making them, what is needed? They are great!
