I have ownered several American Cockers Spaniels in my life as well as other breeds. They were always a joy to me, pups can make your day, they each have their own personalities and would always have me laughing with their antics. We would go to the park to walk and play fetch with a ball or frisbees. To cut grooming costs I would groomy dogs myself between professional grooming appointments. I have taken care of friends dogs when my friends were traveling or not feeling well. When I go to friends house to visit I spend a good bit of time visiting with their dogs and cats. Yes cats also like me too, I have had many cats in my life and many of animals.
