Happy 10th Birthday Rupert

**Nicki** · 11th June 2006, 05:41 PM

My precious Rupert is 10 today...

{those that know us will realise quite what a milestone this is for us, we thought we were going to lose him just over 2 years ago to Syringomyelia -

so every day has been a huge bonus. Forgive me for over indulging on the photos today!!}

From cute pup

to handsome young man

to dignified oldie {taken last Sunday} with Jack and TedBear

Still playing the clown at TedBear's Gotcha day party April 2006

Even he has bad hair days

On holiday on the West Coast of Scotland February 2006

Cuddled up with his Momma on a visit when he was 2 {Bryony got in with him, a very precious memory}

Official birthday portrait and party photos to follow!!

Hope you've had a lovely day, being spoiled rotten by Mummy and Daddy

Nicki, I was only looking at Rupert in his pine cone pic this morning and thinking what a gorgeous boy he is and I didn't even realise it was his special day

Hope he has many, many more lovely days too

Happy 10th Birthday Rupert. You look very hansome

Thank you so much everyone.

I have been trying to get a nice birthday portrait...unfortunately my "assistant/ senior photographer" otherwise known as hubby LOL isn't feeling too good so wasn't able to help.

This was the best I could do on my own...

Will try to get a better one soon...

Gillian, I'm afraid Rupert isn't terribly interested in toys now...it's all a bit beneath him LOL. So instead we bought a fleecy bone toy and donated it to NESSR a rescue who take all Spaniels, and usually have about 4 Cavaliers in a month

We thought they would enjoy it!
