Suzie, we lost our last Cocker in Jan. 1989, he was a month shy of 14 1/2 yrs. old. I think about him often especially when it gets to winter. Haven't gotten a dog since. I used to raise them and seems like with every one I lost, a part of me goes with them. I'm on empty now.
mightymax, so very sorry you are going through this ordeal, like so many others. You'd think after all this time someone would have come up with a cure, or sure fire vaccination for Mareks.
