Mum calls me a dream come true.. at least when I'm on my best behaviour!
She says dad's her all time favourite dog, though, but I'm trying hard to become as close to perfect as possible, so I can
be just as good - maybe, someday? The reason why I'm a fulfillment of mum's dreams is that I was born with these, at first
barely visible, tan markings. Years before, mum wanted a black and tan cocker. Then she wandered upon a web site with the
cutest little blue roan tan cocker puppy, Milton, on it. She watched Milton grow and figured this was exactly the kind of a
cocker boy she, too, would like to have one day. But first she got my daddy. And fell in love, head over heels. When daddy's
breeder told mum she could, perhaps, mate my dad with a cocker girl called Mona (one of mum's absolute favourites!), mum was
over the moon. During a trip to Åland, mum and Mariann (my breeder) discussed the somewhat distant but oh so very interesting
possibility of tan puppies in the upcoming litter. Mum was wishful, but didn't really dare to think about it again after
the initial conversation.
In October we were born, and mum received information of us via SMS during the night. The following
morning she heard the full story, the number of boys and girls (2+4), and the fact that some of us were looking kinda funny..
After checking and double-checking, one boy and possibly one girl, too, seemed to have the slightest hints of tan on our heads. Mum had wanted a puppy from this litter. Now I was the only
thought on her mind: a little tan boy, sired by her dream boy, a dream puppy.. That's enough to blow your mind, really. Mum got
a picture of me from Anett, my other breeder. There I was, sleeping on the palm of her hand, just one day old. Mum says I looked rather funny, with my mask
somewhat irregular and all, but it was nevertheless one hundred percent love at first sight. And as I've grown up, mum's always been
just as crazy about me, and even more.. I look exactly the way she always dreamt I would (actually better), and as I grow older,
I will undoubtedly begin to show even more of my father's exceptionally wonderful personality, which has made him my mum's
"dog soulmate", with the perfect personality to match hers. |
