The Lady is a Tramp!

"The Night Before"

J-Bo: Cocker spaniels are extremely high-maintenance. They're moody and they have serious health problems all their lives. You're constantly taking them to the vet.

Me: Good Lord. How did they survive evolution?

J-Bo: They didn't. They were bred. They shouldn't exist.

Who knew learning about cocker spaniels could be so much fun?! Do you know anybody who was foolish enough to buy a cocker spaniel? If you do, feel free to point at them and laugh! Neurotic, ill-tempered, sickly, and destructive, it makes you wonder if the Tramp knew what he was getting into. I wouldn't give a cocker spaniel to--well--to a dog!

Check it!

Oh, the horror!

N-Or was viciously attacked by a cocker spaniel when he was a tot. As a result, every time we see one on a commercial or something and I'm all, "Awww, pretty puppy!" he's like, "Vicious bastard!"

I happened to know a someone that bought not one...but...you may want to sit down for this...two!!!! I feel for this fellow...he claims to love Jesus but I ask, how can one love Jesus and yet buy such sickly animals??

No dog can serve two masters.

Pray for your friend, Cliff. It shocks me that a seminarian like him would not only allow, but own a pair of fluffy abominations that were obviously not a part of God's original plan.

From a reader. Yikes!

"You CANNOT avoid the calcification of the eardrums in older [cocker spaniels]. They go completely deaf and you have to have the calcified inner ear removed or it spreads to their brain and kills them in a painful death... Aren't they cute!!"

you, know...that's even more high maintenance than me...and that's saying something! I just fancy myself disease ridden - seldom do I have any serious ailment...unlike those cockers!

Wow. Thanks for the mental image. The thought of the surgical removal of a dog's "calcified inner ear" is a little gem I'll treasure for always.

You are bastard people!

Oh, go bite your pillow. Just because we prefer animals who aren't destructive and sickly doesn't mean you should take your frustrations out on us. Consider this your warning! Those cockers will drive you from hearth and home!
