Ohhhh Butter

Buttercup has been one of the best dogs. She may not look like a regular cocker spaniel, but to me she's the cutest thing in the world. Most cockers’ spaniels are not good with children, but she is wonderful with the girls. I have always wanted a dog that will sleep with me and of course, she sleeps right in between Ben and I. She loves going everywhere and anywhere with me. Now that the girls are around, she doesn't get all the attention, but we do have our alone time everyday. Every since Butter was a puppy, she has run with me. Most people think I'm crazy when I show up to run with a cocker spaniel. She has gone as far as 20 miles, and could probably make it even further. She just loves it!!! On the mornings that I don't take her with me, if we are doing speed work or it's too hot, we have to have a talk about it and even then she pouts. She does make for a great running partner though, she doesn't talk back, she just runs and listens, and then of course looks at me like I'm crazy. I don't know what I would do without her though, we have been through a lot together and she's only 4, well almost 5. Here are some pictures, kindof old, but some of my favorite.
