Description: Q is a pure bred Cocker Spaniel. He is very laid back and easy going. According to his foster, "Q is a six year old cocker spaniel. He was raised in the same family since he was a puppy with two other cocker spaniels, Kamie and Austin who are also up for adoption. His owners had to heartbreakingly give them up, so if you are looking for more than one cocker spaniel these might be great choices for you. Q likes to go for walks, play outside, and chase lizards. He also likes to run through the Plumbago flowers we have, so he frequently comes in with blue flowers on his back. " Foster update 7-17-08 This is a great little guy. He is so laid back and easy going. I can do just anything with him, clean his ears, wipe his feet off, anything. He loves to go outside and wander around and explore. He runs around and checks things out and he really loves it when the lizards come out. He is a lot of fun to watch. I took him in yesterday to have his ears trimmed and the groomer said "What a laid back guy. He just sat there like he was used to having this done." He really is a good looking guy and I hope someone will give him the forever home he deserves.
