persephone Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 This is an homage to the bestest boy ... (if I can get this stuff out of my eyes to see properly) he was a BCxCocker .. was my constant shadow..was my work dog ( pets as Therapy PR /assessment dog) and on holidays he would also enjoy working (not playing with) sheep, hunting goats & rabbits. He loved the cats , was such a happy boy when wandering along the yarra, sniffing the flowers, and at the end of his days , was a willing mentor/toy to his successor, Kieran ... Not a day goes by that I don't think of him ..he was a special boy indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lollipup Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 He looks lovely. I met a cocker x BC that used to live nearby and she looked very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks... he was certainly different . For those who haven't heard the story .. When I did P A T dogs.. we took donated dogs, held them in kennels , assessed them , and either returned them to owners/rehomed as pets or trained and placed with those needing a special dog. So .. I read in the paper about the dog .. 2 yrs old .. blah blah ..lady moving.. Got an appointment to see him ..drove right across melbourne on a hot sunday .. to arrive at the front gate as another lady was leaving the house ..after buying Mitchell. !!! I was not a happy camper ..but asked could I just have apeep anyway ... ZING .. I was in love ... forward a couple of months ...phone rings .. lady explains she is having to get rid of her dog , and someone had said to phone me as he might be useful ....she was telling me all about him, and where she'd got him ..so I had to ask his name , didn't I ? yes , it was Mitchell! So ..I collected him, tested him ..and although he was a bit worried about a couple of things ..took him. In kennels he was fine .. but as time went on , he was showing a bit of anxiety and some fearfulness when out & about ... so I was faced with a decision ... that I didn't want to make ! One day, I went to go home .. found my car under a tree in the hot carpark ... I'd left windows down a bit .. and , sitting in the driver's seat, was Mitch!! He had ,somehow squeezed out of a gap a chi would struggle through ..undone a lock on another gate ..found the carpark..and my car ..and managed to get inside !!! What did I do ? I cried, and drove us home!! next morning ..I asked my boss if I could be more accurate in client assessments if I had a suitable dog with which to test their responses/handling skills ... "Hmmm", yes , and for photographs " he says ..we'll have to find you a dog . Of course, I saved him the trouble !!! :p The landlord was not too hard to convince ..and so began our partnership. :) yes, he was special.
