My intention was to get a cute looking puppy Kizzy,but we had seen Prince slowly going downhill and it would be so wrong for me not to have considered that he was in need of a home more than pup,that can wait:hehe: Thanks Kiz.

Some of you will remember I lost my beloved dog back in February,i still miss him terribly,I just wanted to tell you about the old boy we have rescued today,Prince is a 10 year old liver and white springer Spaniel,we have known him for a while,a month or so ago the guy who owned him was made homeless due to the homeowner dying,the guy who owns Prince does love him very much but was in need of special help lets say,he was taken in by an alcoholic that is well known in town,as the weeks went on Prince went down hill fast,his fur had been cut off,he is practically bald,his back legs aren't so good,the alcoholic was seen kicking him,so I decided to try and rescue Prince,I found out he was homeless again and his owner was offered a special hostel place but could not take the dog,so we have taken Prince and he is such a gentle ,lovely dog,We are taking him to the vets Monday to get him checked out,so it looks like this dog has found us,lol,my other dog has also taken well to him,so even if he only has a few years with us I hope we can give him a happy time.Just wanted to share our good fortune and hopefully get Prince back to full health,this is what he will look like.

Great to read this thread, hope you have many happy years with him Kazanne, he is fortunate to get an owner as caring as to animals as you are.
A great day for you all then.

Thanks Joey,he is 10 now,not sure of the life span of these spaniels,hopefully whatever time he has is good for him.

He's beautiful Kaz....i love springers!

He's a very handsome boy and i'm sure you will bring him happiness as he will bring you happiness.

Give him a scratch behind his ear and a kiss from me:love:

Thanks Joey,he is 10 now,not sure of the life span of these spaniels,hopefully whatever time he has is good for him.

10 is the start of his average lifespan,10 to 14 is I understand the average but some get past that to 15 and 16 and beyond as well.

If he is healthy and happy and he will certainly be that with you,he won't want to be going anywhere soon.

The great thing is,his later years will most likely be his happiest now.

Even though he's been in the wars he looks younger than 10, I'm really looking forward to the transformation, happy teddy has a new friend too :)

:laugh:Teddy's been a pain in the ass tbh,he just wants to 'ride' him:laugh:Zane came running in yesterday saying,"come look at Teddy twerking" :joker: we laughed our heads off,that's one way of putting it I suppose. I hope his fur grows back quickly Kizzy,he's such a mess,luckily most people know us ,so taking him for a walk is not so embarrassing,I'de hate to think people thought he was neglected by us.

Took him to the vets today,he is ok but has got arthritis in his back legs as the vet said he has been 'over walked' he will need pain relief for that at some point,but other than that the vet said, some good food,plenty of rest and TLC,will see him come good,so fingers crossed for the old boy,and thanks again everyone.

That is wonderful Kaz, what a great dog! I'm sure he will be a great addition to your home. :wavey:
I don't have dogs myself Kaz BUT for the past 3 yrs since my sister got two patterdale terriers i have taken them out each morning for 2 to 3 hours a time five days a week. I love those dogs and always look forward to Monday mornings going to get them to take them down the park.

Awwwh :lovedup: he's adorable Kazanne. So much sadness in his eyes :( I'm just so glad he has a loving home now, can't wait to see the after pictures.
When I eventually get another dog, i'll most definitely be rescuing one rather than buying a puppy.
