Springer Spaniel. I named him Cocktail for reasons I will not say. The main reason we got him was to hunt grouse. We had him for a while and we found out that he had a type of diabetes. So we had to give him eye drops.
The eye drops weren’t working so we asked the vet if we could do anything else for him. She said that we could start giving him shots in his back. So now everyday at 6 am and 6 pm we have to give him a shot in his back.
A few weekends ago we took him out hunting to see how he would do. He just ran ahead of us and got a lot of wood ticks. Hopefully he’ll do better next time. He is a major pest, but I still like him because he sometimes keeps my feet warm at night.
