You know your Springer's grown up.. General Chat

When;

• Your house isn't trashed, and is relatively neat
• Your sofa still has all throws and cushions on, and they haven't been kicked off
• You can actually leave food on the countertops in the kitchen
• You do not have to remove anything destroyable when you leave the room
• You can bring the shopping in on a Friday without attempting to baracade the door from a romping dog, aswell as bring the bags in
• Your cats can saunter around the house without being piled on and licked to death
• You wake up to a thumping stump and adoring eyes rather than a liver and white furling nightmare trying to climb on your head and licking your face.

Ralph was 2 last week [gone too fast] and suddenly I've noticed how different the house is.
Ah well; just means we need to start the manic cycle off all over again;-)

oh bless!!

are you saying you enjoy chaos ?

Of course you enjoy the chaos when you own English Springers! They never change, their chaos just becomes a little more co-ordinated; or maybe it's just you notice the patterns of when a burst of mental is about to burst out.

yes i remember my Sam(my old springer) being the same

I have to say that Jazzie has all of a sudden become sensible too - something i never thought would happen

I'm still living in chaos
My carpets have been changed to laminate because of the mess, and you can't see the top of the fireplace because when someone leaves the room we have to put anything not nailed down up there!
Somedays I wish I'd got another cocker spaniel as they can't reach so high!
As Charlie is only 11mths I've got a while to go until he calms down and I get my house back

Two years old already? Where does the time go, Luke?
Are you a little bit pleased he's calmer now?

I'd say Ralph has matured quite quickly Luke !

lol mine is 8 1/2 months old and i thought he was just mad, im glad it is normal, im glad he sleeps in his cage in the night and i wake up sane knowing my kitchen is still intact

I don't think my six will ever grow up

Their ages range from just under 2yo to 10yo

Just as well I love chaos! and mud....

lol you go for it you know you wont to who wonts a house in order anyway

lmao!!
