Good bye Isabella ( Maggy)

As promised our for sale ad for the puppies appeared in the paper. There has not been an ad for Cocker spaniels in this paper for months but as soon as I put one in so did three other people. One was for a ten month old who someone decided that they could not keep . One was for all black and another was unspecified. Of course the ten month old was cheap but the other puppies were all equal for the males but we were $50 dollars higher on the females. My heart sank when I read this but all we could do was wait and see. Within minutes of reading this we got the first call. A sweet young couple got directions and were here within a half hour . They fell in love with Ignatius but were looking for his father who wanted a female. Isabella was chosen for her calmness. They were thrilled and so were we. Another call came in a couple hours later but they wanted to bargain the price down for Nelly. We declined and though they told us they would be here in an hour to see her. We never heard from them again. That is OK as I hear that buff females are in short supply and I am sure that she will be sold soon. No doubt that the males will also find a great home. Now if only I can keep the house clean enough to let people in to see them. Now that is the problem.
