Hello all,
perhaps you remember Frankie. We "rescued" him in February when his owner of 11 years had to go into a nursing home. We since heard that he passed away (only two weeks after moving). We have had Frankie for 6 months now, and he has brought immeasurable happiness to our family !
He settled in very well and very quickly. He is even happier now that he had his coat groomed professionally and the vet removed quite a few of his teeth. He must have been uncomfortable before because the operation seems to have given him even more energy. He really does act like a puppy sometimes not like the senior dog he is!
Does your cavalier talk? Ours does. When he lies on his back to have his tummy stroked, he makes a kind of purring noise. At first we thought he was growling at us but it soon became clear that it is a happy, cuddly kind of noise. We can even make him "purr" by imitating the sound! This happens particularly first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
Here are some pictures of Frankie in beautiful Ireland. He did love the beaches, and even though we live in a very pretty part of Gloucestershire, it just isn't quite good enough...
If you think of rescuing a cavalier, we can recommend it!
Lots of love from very happy first time dog owners, Susanne & family:lotsaluv:
