Gideon
May 5, 1995 - June 11, 2010
A Very Special Cocker Spaniel
We lost our beloved Gideon on June 11, 2010. There is a tremendous hole in my heart and an emptiness that can never be filled. Gideon gave us 15 wonderful years. He loved everyone he met. How impatient he was every night to go his after dinner treat at Tom's. And how he loved his food - even being very stealthy when he would steal whatever was in reach. Gideon was the BEST. My dearest boy, I miss you so very much.

He's full of himself - a real sweetheart. He was 15 years old in May, 2010. ~~ Kids and his stuffed toys are his very favorites, and of course, I should add, food. He sure does love his breakfast and supper. Now he yodels when he wants his supper or if he wants to go out. We call him "He who would be king." He knows we are very lucky to have him. This little fellow has been a delight from the minute we got him from CSRNE. If you live in New England please visit their website and take a look at all those homeless cockers.

Hey Tom, it's me, Gideon. Where's my treat? |
At the docks, Dec. 2009 |

Just had cataract surgery (June '08) so now I can see again in my right eye - it's great to be able to see all my food.
But I have to wear this collar until my eye is completely healed. (August 1 - no more collar!!)

I sort of hurt my leg. It was pretty sad, 'cause I tore the ACL and meniscus and had to have an operation in Oct. 07.
I'm lots better now though, and thank you for your cards.

It's good to be the king!!!

In my younger days
Please remember to support the breed rescue leagues. They do do a tremendous job of placing dogs in need of homes. And please, if you're considering a new dog, look there first. Too many dogs need good homes.
A very special
rescue page for Cocker Spaniels. Every week more new dogs are put up for adoption. If you
are considering a new dog, and live in New England, please look here first. So many dogs need loving homes. Dogs
for adoption at Cocker
Spaniel Rescue of New England (CSRNE)
Be sure to visit Maggie's page; I fostered her for eight wonderful months for CSRNE.
