I don’t know any Papillons. You’d need to be selective with spaniels. Cavalier King Charles would probably be a better fit than a Springer! (As long as it didn’t have health problems.)

@kdfrawg it’s just not very practical to use it unplugged unless I can stop the random shutting down.

It’s easier in person with my father because we’re usually around for a few days, so he doesn't feel he needs to talk. He just likes it that I’m around. A short visit or phone call is hard though, because you feel you need to make conversation. Maybe you could watch a film or something, but just be close by?
