Love all the pics!!! I just have to add one of our black cocker spaniel. He loves people and greets everyone when they come to the house. When I have meals ready he will run and get "Dad". He says grace before his meals, will not eat until one of us says "Amen". He will not bark or scratch on the doors to go outside, but will come and put his nose on our knee to let us know his wish. He does all the usual commands as sit, stand, lay down, sleep, stay. He sings "happy Birthday" with us when we sang to family and friends. A constant companion so loved!
