He was a ball of energy from the first day I met him. My wife Cathy fell in love with him the moment she saw him. I originally was opposed to bringing home another cocker while Gabby was still alive. I was afraid Gabby would feel he was no longer loved. Gabby and Hoshi get along fine. We maintain Gabby&#8217;s privacy so the puppy doesn&#8217;t disturb his rest. They socialize together while outside. Hoshiko is Japanese for child star. We call him Hoshi too&#8211;that drops the child part of his name. Hoshi is very cute. Sometimes he reminds me of a llama. Other times, he reminds of a baby goat with that long scrawny neck, bony back, knobby legs and bobbed tail. He&#8217;s very playful. His kibble with fish oils give him &#8220;tuna breath.&#8221; Hoshiko will be loved just as much as our Gabby.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 196px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mycockerspaniel.com\/hoshi\/hoshi_pedigree.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mycockerspaniel.com\/images\/hoshi\/hoshi_pedigree_sm.png\" width=\"196\" height=\"150\" alt=\"Hoshi's Pedigree\" class=\"\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hoshi&#8217;s Pedigree<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mycockerspaniel.com\/hoshi\/hoshi_diploma.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mycockerspaniel.com\/images\/hoshi\/diploma.png\" width=\"150\" height=\"116\" alt=\"Graduated from obedience school on August 26, 2009\" class=\"\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Graduated from obedience school on 8\/26\/09<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 196px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mycockerspaniel.com\/hoshi\/hoshi_cgc_test.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mycockerspaniel.com\/images\/hoshi\/hoshi_cgc_test_sm.png\" width=\"196\" height=\"150\" alt=\"Canine Good Citizen test October 21, 2009\" class=\"\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Canine Good Citizen test 10\/21\/09<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breed: American Cocker Spaniel Sex: Male DOB: January 3, 2009 Location: SE Michigan AKC Name: Mister John Mallek Esq.
