I was thinking to give you a feed back some days later but
s ince you're asking about Joe I am pleased to bring up something..

He is staying in my room during the night and terrace in the daytime when we're out for work. Now

- He poo and pee on the wooded floor and stepped on it....
- He chewed up Joanna's (my baby girl) Barbie so my girl has a handicap Barbie, she was so sad....
- He is following me everywhere to check what I am doing or suppose to do even in the midnight I go up to bathroom...
- He chewed my jean...
- He looks for anything eatable in the room..........

Other than above he is a nice dog...... : )

You know we had 3 cockers before, 2 of them past away last year. I missed them so much, had them cremated and kept the ash with me. Both of them were picked up from the street. The last cocker with us was another deserted adopted by my wife 10 years ago. So you see we are basically a cocker family, whereas my mother who lives with us is against it alone (still).

Joe is a typical cocker, he behaves exactly as I expected, even better, he listened when I demanded to sit or stay; he was quite calmed when I left in the morning and locked him behind the fence of my terrace, hardly barked to protest; he gets alone well with my 2 other dogs (a blind malteese and a deaf cocker..)...well in fact they just ignored him...

I had him a hair cut and groomed so he looks smart now, also I took him to the vet to clean his teeth this morning. It was insteresting when we took him home last Sat, my kids were so exciting and told my mother about how they met Joe. My mom, suspiciously asked Joanna how did you know Joe's name if he's from the street? We startled, then my wife cleverly reply "oh, the kid meant they "jiu" (sound like "help" or "save" in mandarin) the cocker so they clled him Joe.......", my mom was silent, I think she awared what was going on after all... what a thrill!

I think he loves us and he already consider we are the family, you see in the pictures he already occupied Joanna's couch for his bed.

We will keep him, as I promised to Sean, and Joe will be with us for the rest of his happy life.

It's my pleasure to meet all of you in AT, and appreciated what you have done to the animals, thank you. Pls let me know the next step I should fulfil to adopt Joe.

Yours sincerely, Paul
