Winston's Happy Ending
Winston (formerly Nox) made a very smooth transition to our home. He and his brother Sully, an adopted four-year-old, rescue cocker spaniel, have already bonded. At his last vet appt., Dr. John came out and exclaimed, “Winston is perfect! My days are usually made up of dogs biting me, nipping at me, or wanting to get away from me. Winston was a perfect gentleman, and all that he wanted to do was kiss me! He was an absolute JOY to have, pure JOY!”
As a typical cocker, Winston loves, loves, loves to give kisses and to snuggle! He is not a fan of masks, since he likes to kiss your face, but beware if you leave one in your purse – he is excellent at pulling it out for you!
He was fitted for a new harness and has quickly realized that walks are fun, and he’s made lots of new friends! When running at the ball field, Winston can be seen chasing butterflies and fireflies and jumping for them, reminding us of the simple joys in life. And boy can he run!!!
As a puppy, Winston remains curious! If there were an award for picking up anything not nailed to the floor or rooted in the ground, Winston would win the gold medal! He is exceptional at pulling every toy out of the toy baskets, as well! He follows Sully’s leads and is really a fast learner. In fact, he knows most of his basic commands. We’re still working on not grabbing the towel when getting paws wiped, though! He is getting used to the vacuum – sort of – fingers crossed! He seems to like to learn and is intrigued by his interactive toys. He is a HUGE fan of car rides, too!
Winston often goes to work with me and has made himself right at home. Work days are always better with cocker spaniels by your side! At night, he won’t fall asleep until his head is somewhere on me, (which I just love).
You can’t be around Winston without realizing just how sweet and fun he is, and he is such a beautiful cocker! He seems to get happier and more handsome every day – if that is possible. In a very short amount of time, Winston has truly become a special part of our family and has a special place in my heart.
