This
is Darjun's Two-to-Tango, better known as Tango. We bought him from
the breeder when he was five months old and he has had us wrapped around
his little tail ever since. The picture above was taken when he was ten
years old. Many people think he is a Springer Spaniel because of his
markings, but he is actually a Parti-Color Cocker Spaniel.
Tango's always been a rather quiet dog, more likely to be curled up on
the couch next to you than begging to be played with, which suits us
perfectly. He's always exhibited a preference to be on the furniture
rather than the floor - you often find him asleep on the kitchen table,
and even the dining room table isn't safe if you don't push all the
chairs in. In the winter, he likes to sleep in bed with us - when it is
very cold, we'll wake up with him wrapped around one of our heads! In
the summer, he likes to sleep in the window sill if the windows are open
(we found a sturdy cat perch to make that easier) or flopped down on an
air conditioner vent.
Tango likes to travel, too; mostly in cars, but he's also flown to
Florida three times. His favorite trips are riding on Mommy's lap in the
Miata with the top down, especially when we stop for water ice (he likes
mango).
Tango is now fifteen years old and is enjoying a leisurely life as a canine
senior citizen. He can't hear anymore, and his arthritis keeps him off
the furniture, but he's coping with old age quite well. He has always
been a smart dog, and now he has learned how to ask for things he used
to do for himself.
We've had nearly fifteen wonderful years of being part of Tango's pack,
and look forward to a few more years of him brightening up our days!
