‘Oh my goodness! Adorable! Is it a Working Cocker by any chance? I am getting seriously ‘broody’ for one, so your video hasn’t helped,’ one fan said.

‘Ha1 What a goooood pup,’ said another. 

‘OMG he’s cute!! And he does have a growing slipper collection too! Love it!! Don’t dogs have a way of grounding us and making us realize what’s important in life? Like a set (2) of slippers,’ one joked. 

‘A rather fan collection. As a puppy owner myself… you have my sympathies for all the odd scattered everywhere,’ one said.
