Darn uncooperative weather!!
I'm glad about your dog. That sounds about right, age wise to start getting those. The teeth - ugh. My three little ones really need their teeth brushed daily or else cleaned professionally twice a year. I can't afford that anymore. So I got one of those rotary brushes. I'm hoping the extra power will offset the fact that they really need a professional cleaning. I've got a tooth scraper too, but they're so old now it's hard to use it without very gory results.
They've also got those doggie treats now that supposedly help with the teeth. I'm trying to remember - Science Diet maybe? With my crew, treats aren't the best idea because sibling rivalry always results. But with only one dog it might help.
I've always loved cockers. My first dog was a cocker/terrier mix. All cocker in temperament and looks, but she could dig with the best of terriers!
