You think your pet is unique. Has a character all of his own and looks like himself so it comes as a bit of a shock when out walking to meet another dog that looked identical (well almost) and had a character so like our dogs that if they had been the same age (one was 9 years old and ours 81/2 years old) we would have suspected they were identical twins or at least out of the same litter. If we could work out how to put on the black harness even that would have been identical.

Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

We see a lot of cockers but each is different except this one confirms that everyone has a double. XD

Now I hesitate to suggest this but isn’t the suggestion that dogs look the same a bit, you know, dogist?

Very cute. People are often mistaken for someone else. “You look just like so-and-so,” they exclaim. Well if it’s good enough for people, maybe it’s good enough for dogs too!

Definitely. They say we all have a double and these dogs just proved that dogs do also.

They are. My husband is smitten with ours. It can get away with blue murder – almost.

They look just like the cocker I had when I was a teenager – but she was plumper!

I am surprised at our stocky they are. I had no idea. You had both the best dogs (german shepherd and cocker)
