My Kids - Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, that is

Being single and living away from my family, my dogs are my family. We talk although sometimes it's more like I yell and they don't listen. :)


But they are very much my girls. I would be lost without them. My sweet friend in Dallas breeds Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and has blessed me with now 3. Be sure to visit her site at Cavalier Country. If you are looking for an awesome family dog, Cavaliers are it!





First up is Gracie. She actually isn't my first Cavalier. My sweet Gretchen passed away 3 years ago on the same day Gracie was born. Gracie is very independent and likes to be in the area of where I am but not necessarily in my lap the entire time unless Zoe decides to land in my lap and then a bit of jealousy kicks in....








And last fall along came Zoe. She's the opposite of Gracie even though they are full sisters (just 2 years apart). Follows me everywhere, has to be in my lap whenever I'm sitting (as she is laid out across my lap while I'm typing this). Zoe just turned 1 this past month. And, yes, she is every bit as sweet as the picture looks.











Gracie (a.k.a - Lulu) getting a bit tired of Zoe running her around the house. Poor baby....

A few weeks after I took this shot, the braided rope was no more. Actually it became shreds of yarn after Zoe won the chewing war.

They both got much-needed baths yesterday after they decided to run through the muddiest part of the yard and were literally covered in it. It was so much fun. :)
