Einy passed in his sleep today after a short illness...
Our dear little old fella Einie left us this afternoon. He came to us 7.5 years ago as a rescue from the RSPCA with his good mate Hedy. Both were the first (and only) American cockers we've had. When we got him, his papers said he was 14 years old, making him over 21 now. He's been happily retired, living the life of Riley here with his English cocker mates. He was a dear little thing who was not any trouble to anyone!

Subsequent to conversations with Rainy Day Rescue we have taken on two American Cockers...
Why Einstein? Some time ago we made a small donation to Camp Cocker in the US in support of an English Cocker they had rescued (Maddy I believe). Being on their mailing list we discovered that someone had taken in a black American Cocker from Camp Cocker and named him Einstein as well as making a sizeable donation to them. Quod erat faciendum.
Needs a trim though... And 14? Not so sure about that! He certainly proves Albert's mass energy relationship E = mc2 as, although partially blind and wobbly on the back legs, he is still full of energy.
