El Spaniel de Agua del Corazon

While mommy is working on an activity book featuring my departed uncle Oliver ( he's a legend in our family) for little Oliver, our hooman cousin, Mommy and I are jolling.

She is letting me win still, but my confidence is growing and one day soon, I can beat her on my own.

En toe is daar een...

My Nala-mamma se mensis kom 2x per jaar op redelike ongeleë tye. Omdat ons ons hondjies eers laat gaan op 8 weke val die herhuisvesting gewoonlik met paastyd en Kerstyd, wanneer families op vakansie is. Dan bly hul nog 'n rukkie langer by ons aan huis en klim net nog dieper in ons harte in.

En dan is daar altyd die heel laaste een om te gaan. Die keer is dit klein
'Harry' se b***t. Hy was bespreek, reeds gedoop en agv kanselasie van 'n ander hondjie word hy toe gecancel in ruil vir die kleiner, ligter enetjie.

Hy is 'n regte klein Buksie, windgat verby wat met baie selfvertroue gaan verken, homself eerste gaan voorstel aan ons ander honde, die verste uittogte waag en wintielyfie aangehardloop kom as hy my hoor of sien.

Maar vandag is hy sku en bek-af en vreeslik hartseer. 'n Mengsel van hom en sy sussie wat toegelaat was deur Mamma Nala om AL haar kos skynbaar op te eet en magies wat ietwat onstel is met volwasse hondekos ( en dubbel soveel daarvan) en 'n dag wat niks lekker is nie.

Vroegoggend kom hy en Zara aangehardloop toe ek roep en ek kies Zara, nie hom, om 1e op te tel nie. Sy word gebad en kry spesiale tyd saam Ouma Zelna en Mamma Nala omdat sy vandag na haar forever home toe gaan.

Sy kom uit met 'n lekkerkou strik in die hare en nes hy d**k hulle gaan nou buite jol, onderskep Ouma Z hom. 'HOEKOM MOET EK OOK GEBAD WORD? EK BLY MOS HIER!?!

Harry wil niks weet van drooggemaak word nie en gaan soek sy sussie en vreet Mamma se kos terwyl sy nie daar is nie!

Trommelduk, tjorts hy en sussie Zara anders. Ietsie akkodeer nie. Zara wil ook nie vandag met Harry speel nie. Sy d**k sy is groot! En special!

Elke keer kom haal iemand 'n boetie, die keer Harry se favourite, enigste sussie!

En daar is baie van haar nuwe familie hier op een slag! Nie net Mamma, Pappa en miskien Ivana en Sara nie...Baie! En hul praat baie en hard en hy sien hulle het hom ook nie gekies nie.

Hy klim in sy hokkie waar dit veilig is en dit stiller is. Hy hoor die hek oopgaan en Chiara en Nala blaf. Hy weet Zaratjie is nou ook weg en hy is alleen....

Toe word hy wakker en Chiara, Mamma Nala, Pappa Guilliam en Ouma Z...almal is hier en almal wil met hom cuddle en speel. Bonus! Almal net vir homself!

Hy soek orals vir Zara, en gaan lê met hartseerogies vir my en kyk en ek weet nie hoe ek dit oor my hart gaan kry om hom ook te laat gaan nie...

The hardest part of being a breeder is saying goodbye!

Do you agree?

I know that we select only the finest families for our pups, and that they will take the best possible care of them.

But when it gets to rehoming day, it feels like I am betraying their sweet souls.

As long as they remember that they are brave beautiful/ handsome, kind, generous, lovable, clever and good boys and girls!

I hope you are happy and comfy at your new homes Snoopy/ Harry and Cooper McFlurry!

Thank you Leon and Cargo for your wonderful service through the years. You guys rock!

The first time I met Xavier, his adorable face and relatively large body for a 6 week old was much like a cuddle teddy bear. He immediately melted my heart and even seduced his big dog only dad. Before long he was asleep on daddy's lap.

We called him 'Plonser, as he would walk a bit and just go and lie down. I was a bit worried then. Lizl Van Vreden gifted him to me. He was one of the best gifts I have ever received. Thank you Lizl!

Now, Xavier has fathered 4 litters with 2 different bi***es. The current litter has a young one who is also a Plonser. Except, he plonses and stalks his littermates and also has those sad looking eyes of Xavier that warms and melts your heart.

I have so much love for this dog.

I am always hesitant on taking deposits from people on my waiting lists but there is a tendency lately for new families to get impatient with waiting who then take any available spaniel pup without considering temperament and genetics.

Inevitably then cancelations at the last minute means that there are sometimes pups becoming available. I had 14 bookings for a female since Dec 24, all but one potential family declined as they have found dogs ( I'm sceptical as bi***es are in shortage with most reputable breeders I know).

Sometimes I get shivers down my spine when I hear who or where they got them from and I know when they need advice they'll call me up.

Please Cocker Peops, if you are not buying from a current registred member, please look on Spaniel groups for recommended breeders and read the comments about the dog's issues and health, look at the hygiene of the area where the pups are kept, thoroughly inspect the condition of your pup , especially look for ticks and fleas etc. Before taking the pup home with you.

And let the other breeders whose waiting lists you are on, know that you are no longer taking a pup from them. It may influence their decision to breed or skip.

We are a sweet bunch. Our only sister is a bit rough on us and one of our aunts desperately wants to play with us, but she is still a wee child so she accidently rolls us now and again, but we play a little more than we eat nowadays. Hooman mommy says we are a poopfactory but we are way to young too work in a factory... please will you tell us we are cute?
