We got a dog. So far I'm slowly getting used to it.

You can use a baby gate too if the dog is small. For larger dogs that are not jumpers, 4 feet is usually a perfect height.

My previous cocker spaniel would wonder around at parties waiting for some one to put a wine glass on the floor and then, very quietly and delicately, lap up all the wine ...  <:-)
My current cocker doesn't like alcohol of any kind...

We used to have Cocker Spaniels...nervous little beasts that piddle a lot. Good dogs, though, and excellent howlers.

My current cocker, Lucy, is 15. Doesn't piddle, has never really barked or howled. Currently deaf as a post, losing her vision and might have a cancerous growth on her snout.

There's a Saturday morning show on CBS, Lucky Dog.
It's about training rescues and has a lot of good training tips.

Crap. I hope her remaining time, however long or short, stays comfortable.

Thanks. She doesn't appear to be in any pain, in fact doesn't bother with the growth at all....
Very happy dog, loves going for walks and being off leash in the park area behind our house. To look at her gambling about, you'd never know she was 15.  :)

Fifteen is a damned good age for any dog to make it to. Very few of mine ever did. And if she's still active and comfortable then she really IS a grand old dog.  :notworthy:

My dog turned 3 yesterday. Perfect pup, no complaints, and like our previous dog, the best looking member of the family.

One time with one of our previous Cockers, we had a bunch of people over. He was a very good boy and sociable so he never had any problem with being around strangers. Then suddenly a massive SBD snuck up on me and let loose, and hoo boy it was a bad one.

I had a moment of utter panic - oh sh*t, what am I going to do? That was naaaaasty - but everyone turned and looked at the Cocker, whom was near me, and went "Holy crap that dog let loose a stinker!" "Damn what do you feed him?" "Let him outside!"

I was all, "Uhh...yeah, geez, wow, dog, that was gross, let's get you outside right quick... >:D  :-[ "
