Wiley's Story

WILEY <br/>"Apparently, I need too much attention."<br/><br/>Well, THIS is awkward.<br/><br/>Meet Wiley, a 7-year-old purebred Cocker Spaniel whose previous family surrendered him for the most astonishing reason we have heard in a while:<br/><br/>"He needs too much attention."<br/><br/>Excuse me?<br/><br/>Sir, you are a COCKER SPANIEL.<br/>That is literally one of the job descriptions. <br/><br/>Wiley would like to formally state that he considers attention to be a reasonable and necessary component of the human-dog relationship. Belly rubs? Yes. Being told he's handsome? Obviously. Having someone talk to him? Preferably. Being included in whatever you're doing? Absolutely.<br/><br/>And just look at that face.<br/><br/>That is the face of a dog who has absolutely no intention of apologizing for wanting to be loved. <br/><br/>Wiley is a purebred Cocker Spaniel, and Cocker people already know about the ears. Those magnificent, glorious, adorable ears can also be prone to infections, so Wiley has just had a fresh haircut to help keep things clean and comfortable while we get his ears sorted out. Right now he's rocking the "summer vacation meets witness protection" look, and frankly, we're into it.<br/><br/>Underneath that new haircut is one very happy, very sweet boy.<br/><br/>Wiley is:<br/><br/> 7 years old<br/> Purebred Cocker Spaniel<br/> Neutered<br/> Up to date on vaccinations<br/> Microchipped<br/> Heartworm negative<br/> Happy and healthy<br/> Ready to go home<br/><br/>And yes, he likes people. A lot.<br/><br/>Which brings us back to that whole "too much attention" thing.<br/><br/>We have decided that Wiley's problem isn't that he needs too much attention.<br/><br/>He simply hasn't yet found someone who thinks there is no such thing as too much Wiley.<br/><br/>Maybe you're the person who wants a dog following you around the house. Maybe you enjoy having someone supervise your laundry, watch television with you, accompany you around the yard and stare lovingly into your eyes for absolutely no reason.<br/><br/>Maybe you actually LIKE being wanted.<br/><br/>If so...<br/><br/>Wiley has been looking for you. <br/><br/>And if anyone asks why you adopted a dog who "needs too much attention," just tell them:<br/><br/>"Because I had some to spare."
