**Update 12/29** So the woman who runs the Cocker rescue just called and has changed her mind about adopting Buster/Ollie to us. She is worried about him and Rocky getting along and isn't comfortable with Rocky being a senior dog. We are devastated. It's like a pet loss again. I'm pissed and hurt. Buster,soon to be named Ollivander (Ollie),came for his home visit today. Rocky could have cared less that there was another dog in the house again. They sniffed butts for about 3 minutes then Rocky went to the den and took a nap. We were approved to adopt him, she said our Vet gave us a glowing reference. She will be back with him on Friday to stay.  She made it clear that they will always take their dogs back if it ends up not being a good match. If him and Rocky do end up having issues we will do what is best. So we are considering the first few weeks a trial sleepover. But I do hope it all works out. After losing Rocky's brother Snickers in August he has seemed a bit lost and very clingy to us. Did not think we would consider another Cocker while Rocky was still around, but something about it just seems very right.  |

Thanks ladies. He was a total snuggler and lap dog. Snickers was my cuddler, and I have missed that very much. Rocky likes to be close, but not in your lap close.
He also was very well behaved and knows basic commands. He did poop in the living room but he had just had an hour car ride to us and we were talking too much instead of taking him outside for a potty break. That was our fault.

I know dogs don't always adjust to new pets, but it sounds promising. I love when people don't wait too long to get another pet. They do fill voids that people and pets have. Plus the rescue is no longer in limbo.

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

Thank you so much for 'saving' a cocker through rescue! my first dog as an adult was a cocker spaniel. Same coloring as Ollie.... I loved that dog.... he stuck with us for 17 years. He loved to cuddle.... He is the reason we still help out a couple of the cocker rescues. I hope all goes well  |

He is soooooo adorable! I used to dog-sit a cocker spaniel and loved him to pieces. I hope Rocky enjoys his new buddy.

Thanks everyone. We are very excited. Just got back from a Petsmart run to get him a collar, harness, leash, and I.D. Tag. Also got a bigger water feeder, Rocky drinks A LOT on his own! And new dog bowls for both of them. 2 more days! |

It did fit him. I really wanted to name him Bullwinkle since we had Rocky's name picked out. My Mom was like you can't name a sweet little Cocker Bullwinkle! Haha |
