Hey Barabar, welcome! Glad you're also enjoying CQ so much. Yeah it has a habit of taking over for a while!
My first dog was a cocker spaniel. She was the runt of the litter, and probably because of that and as no-one wanted her, I took pity on her and bought her. She was a very loyal and beautiful dog and we called her Sandy after her colour. Mind you she was also the most damn stubborn dog I've ever known! She lived to a ripe old age of 14, but her daughter who was an "accident", was probably the most amazing dog I've ever known. She was a lab (we think) cocker cross, and one of the most loyal, obedient and sweet natured dogs you could come across. She lived with my dad after mum died for many years, and reached the age of 16! Hope yours has a long and happy life too!
We also have a 360 and trying to get my teenage son to do his homework instead of playing on the 360 is a constant struggle! As is kicking him off so I can have a go...
Anyway good luck in your studies. Hope CQ doesn't get too much in the way!
