Here is Treacle with his new friend Elizabeth. Treacle is going for a fur cut today. A few facts about Treacle. Treacle is what is known as Old Stock Springer Spaniel. There are field spaniels and bench spaniels (bench spaniels are the cute ones who don't work and lounge about on sofas all day). Field spaniels are the workers and Treacle is one of the original breed before fields were crossed with benches to give them a more 'aesthetic' look. You humans love messing around with things you shouldn't meddle. Treacle is the perfect shape and size for his breed. Big chested and powerful forequarters give him stamina - all the power is from the front. They have the largest
heart of any dog breed. They are fearless of water, they can endure more pain than other dogs - therefore will charge through brambles and thick undergrowth to get pheasants and rabbits. Treacle is trained to gun and is now retired.Next is me of course. I am sitting patiently waiting for my new sister to arrive on Monday.
Then there is a photo of a man who I have never met who is married to Babs with the blond hair and the then her daughter and grand-daughter. They are in Tenner-Reef where it appears the sun shines quite a lot. Babs works very hard looking after
people. I don't know if she is owned by any animals yet. Do you Babs????
