I would like to introduce Tessa my 1 year old ACS. I adopted her in Sept. 2002. She spent her first almost year of life with her breeder in Michigan.
I have arthritis and live by myself and needed some kind of motivation to get out and move every day. I started searching for a cocker. I believe it was fate or divine intervention that led me to a wonderful lady that had been raising cockers for many years. Due to her own health problems she was rehoming some of her dogs. After several months of talking arranging I brought Tessa home to live with me.
She has made such a difference in my life. My own children are grown now and Tessa has brought to so much company and love into my home. I never realized when I did this how much she would work her way into my heart and my life.
