Have had a number of 4 legged pets in my lifetime; cats and dogs. The last two have been the best. The first, a Cocker Spaniel, was with us for 15 years. Once, when the Cocker Spaniel was about 10 years old he had Hip Dysplasia. He would sleep at the top of the stairs. One night about 2:00a we were awakened by a rolling sound ending in a loud thud. The dos had rolled down the stairs. We ran down to him and he was getting up shacking himself off. No more Hip Dysplasia from that time on! The second, a Cairn Terrier, has been with us for 10 years and still acts like a puppy at times.

Great with the children who were all under ten years old. Got along with everyone and was especially good with my wife who was sick at the time. Maintenance was not an issue with him, but he did need to be groomed. Funny story about him when he was about ten. I received a phone call from the local prison in the middle of the night. He had gotten lose and we did not notice he was not in for the night. The call was to tell me he was at "Super Max" and I needed to come get him. Told my wife that one of our sons was in jail and I had to go get him out! Health was a problem as he had Hip Dysplasia and Epilepsy. Had to put him down at fifteen after he developed tumors. He was a good dog and it took us a few years before we were able get another one.){kind=link}
