I have been reading posts and articles on this forum almost constantly for the last 6 weeks since our cavalier, Oscar had to be put to sleep at the grand old age of 14. I suppose it has helped fill the huge hole that was left after the passing of our beautiful dog, having watched him decline badly over the last 6 months.
This is Oscar when we brought him home as a puppy:

And this is Oscar as he entered his final months, still a real beauty with same sad eyes:

When Oscar passed, we were adamant there would be no more dogs. But then, I saw a posting on this forum about a tri cavalier who was in foster care, having been been saved from the pound. Happily, it looks like he is on his way to us when he is neutered and vaxed; we went to see him at the weekend, and he is another beauty, with a lovely, sweet nature. He will not replace Oscar, but we are just delighted to be able to offer a home to such a fantastic dog. As soon as we have him, and he is setttled in, I will post some pics of the new arrival.
For now, I am really enjoying this incredible resource -I have learned so much about cavaliers and dogs in general. Kudos to Karlin for the amazing rescue work she has done; she has saved so many of these lovely dogs from lives of misery & neglect.
