Kira and I have just been to see a golden working cocker puppy, which we will be picking up in late March. Name still TBD

[sabergirl]

Omg so cute 🥰

[CosmoSix5]

Rough life, until the giant warm lap returns. I know my place lol

[Matt]

@Alex congratulations!

[Matt]

What’s working?

[Alex]

@Matt as opposed to show. They were bred to be used for shooting originally, so the features are different

@Matt said in Pets:

What’s working?

Per the Oxford Dictionary - "[intransitive] to do something that involves physical or mental effort, especially as part of a job"

[endo]

no, that's actually Eddie Vedder vs. Chris Cornell

@Alex congratulations -- that's a gorgeous puppy. Is the breeder the slightly rummy woman outside Cambridge who insists you walk the father down by the river, to make sure you know what you're doing? This looks like one of hers.

[Matt]

@Alex

I know dogs can be a lot of work but breeding them just to shoot them seems cold.

@Tago-Mago

This explains why I was confused. New concepts can be exciting but this sounds awful.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt always happy to help. If you need any advice regarding tough life decisions let me know

[Oaktavia]

@Alex omg so adorable. Amanda and I have a golden and she's the best! And the working variety vs. show looks cuter in the photos, just sayin'!

[Alex]

@IronFart haha, no, this breeder was just outside Lincoln, though, so not miles away from the one you mention

[Alex]

@Oaktavia kira wanted a golden, like yours, but we need something smaller for our locatiom, so this was the compromise

[Oaktavia]

@Alex ah, makes sense, that is a smart compromise. Raising a puppy is a treat, they become part of the family. I love dogs so much. Just got back from a neighborhood walk with our Rosie.

My pets/family. Goob the old 12 year old hound dog, and Parker the little kitten. The shepherd mix was Sarge who was 9 and passed a few months ago

[DeeDee85]

@wjw very cute dogs and beautiful kitten! Sorry for the loss of the old guy

[mclaincausey]

This dude is a huge nerd but impossible not to spoil. This time with a braided rawhide.

[Matt]

Ava knows we don’t feed her from the table but that doesn’t stop her from trying…

[Oaktavia]

@Matt haha Rose does the same dang thing.
