Greetings from Jasmine! September 21, 2007

 

 

 

Hi everyone!

 My name is Jasmine and I am a very young dog of about a year old.  Shirley adopted me from Cavalier King Charles Spaniel rescue a week ago today.  

I have had to work very, very hard, but I finally have my humans trained just the way I want them. They let me up on the bed. They feed me special dog food. I have to share the house with two cats that it took awhile to convince I wasn’t an enemy but cats are not as smart as dogs as you all know.   

Tuesday Shirley let me take her to obedience class so I can further train her to obey.  Our instructor, Kari, has her hands full with Shirley but says that I am very smart.  (She is a little bit prejudiced as she has a CKCS herself.) 

I want to thank everyone who helped with me finding just the right humans. Their daughter, Cathy, took this picture of me this morning and let me meet my cousins, Macy the Doberman and Spice the Whippet.  We bonded immediately as none of us really like squirrels.  

Sloppy kisses to everyone —

Jasmine

Top Ten Reasons You Need a Cavalier September 20, 2007

by Kim C. Thornton
1. The constant wagging tail is as good as air conditioning on hot days.
2. The body heat generated when they sit on your lap saves on heating
bills in winter.
3. You won’t have to wash your face or your dishes.
4. They’re chick magnets.
5. The feathering on their feet sweeps up all the dust on the floor.
6. You’ll get extra attention from flight attendants if you’re
traveling with one.
7. It’s nice to have company in the bathroom.
8. They’d rather cuddle than watch football.
9. Petting one will lower your blood pressure.
10. And the No. 1 reason to live with a Cavalier: Each day you’re
reminded to face life with a Cavalier attitude.
