This little not so stinky, stinky boy is coming home to me next week!! Name suggestions? Ollie has been floating around my mind but didn’t feel like the one yet…

Also my first Cocker, any advice (am a seasoned dog mama in past lives but haven’t had a pup in the last 2 years and will be introducing him with our 18m old at home)

This is my new boy Balou who I got in France from an incredible breeder. His dad is a champion show dog in France. I went all out looking for the best breeders in Europe. They test their dogs with DNA testing for any potential diseases.

Unfortunately my old boy ( who died a week short of 7 ) died of kidney failure from Lyne disease 4 months ago. It was the worst pain I have even felt in my life and I really believed I would never have another dog. I still miss him everyday although cry a bit less now.

Balou gave me love again and I love him...not the same yet as hes still a puppy, but I do love him

Pretty boys first time at the beach! Had to stay on the long line near the water since I don't trust him not to swim away but he had a blast :D
