Family friends have always had a pair of cavaliers for as long as I can remember - a Blenheim and a tri-colour. We ended up looking after the two of them for six months and I loved every minute of it, apart from wiping up the obligatory puddle most mornings. The elder one was such an elegant old lady and would find a spot that she would protect to sit and keep an eye on everyone, while the younger one was mental! It's amazing how attached we all got over those few months. Nowadays though they've only got the one and again it's a head case, but a lovely wee dog. Would love one for our family but just not feasible really.
Looks like I'm taking the little one up to get a shearing this week. I'm buzzing.
