I need to sort his tear stains out. Anyone any suggestions?

He’s still a balloon! Wish I could bottle his excitement and energy

After much thought and not without some tears, I / we thought we would create a post

In June of this year our Cocker Spaniel girl, Vera, passed away suddenly just shy of her 14th birthday
To say my wife & I were completely devastated is an understatement. It was such a sad and terrible time for not only both of us but the rest of our family, especially our 4 Grandkids who all have grown up with her

The week before she passed we had a great holiday with her at the beach in Lincolnshire
These pic's were taken exactly a week before she passed away

She had such a wonderful holiday surrounded by all her family

Before we became Vera's keeper, she like Darcy was a show girl
Pic was taken on or around Crufts 2006 before we got her

After much sole searching we decided we just had to have another Cocker in our lives
We had been in touch with the guy who we got Vera from and he had a girl that needed a new home

So Darcy came into all our lives not as a replacement but an addition to our family

We still shed a fare amount of tears about our beloved Vera but Darcy is helping in her own way

Our own little celebration Of Vera
RIP our sweet little girl

Apologies for the tears folks

Col, what a poignant and heartfelt post. She was a lowly looking spaniel, what a shame to lose her so suddenly, but I am sure you are never going to forget her and may her memories live on. Happy New Year and welcome Darcy to a loving home

Know exactly how you feel, mate. We lost one of our cockers a little while ago, and it absolutely tears your heart out...... we both cried for days, but that is how these wonderful creatures get into to your lives and hearts.
They are so loyal and loving.
Like you we took a lot of time and soul searching, and we decided to adopt our new Springer...Dudley.
He in no way replaces Fletcher, but is a welcome addition to our family.

Jessie - 7 years old now, we had her 12/1/12. My best friend and the reason I drive an SQ5 and not something sporty!

We used to have three dogs but when my wife died that wasn't compatible with life - so my brother took over Lola, the Springer spaniel with extra spring (also pictured with my daughter), and my Mum had Tia, the lapdog Jack Russell, but no one was having Jessie.

As well as being my best friend, she is also the first thing my 2 year old grandson looks for when he comes in from nursery.

But its not hers, its mine so I can sit in my bedroom and pretend I am in the car...

Might have chosen cognac had it been available too!

Forgot about this thread somehow, great pics of all your lovely spanners!!

Going to dump a load from our past few months in the lakes, been up every weekend and basically every day over my 2 weeks off over Xmas....only 32 wainwrights left to tick off...the older one, 8y.o isn't doing bad at all considering she has a part metal back leg.

Now about 8.5 months and no sign of calming down! We were told he was from show lines but I’m convinced there’s worker in there

Bit of a balloon! He’s chewed both the scatter cushions and the sofa cushion to the left of him as well as destroying several beds, a dining chair, one iPhone 8, 2 TiVo remotes and 2 table cloths!
