DOGS GET THEIR OWN PARK
Henry, a 7 year old Cavalier romps, plays ball and basks in the sun at the newly opened Easton Dog Parkin Connecticut, USA. The park is open daily from sunrise to sunset. Most people in Easton have large yards, but most are not fenced. Even if they have an electric fence for their dog, they can’t have a friend’s dog over to play and run off leash. The dog park is a place where dogs and humans can meet up and have fun together. There are of course "dos and donts" to be adhered to so that dogs and humans can interact safely and with consideration.
SUPER HEROES
Minnesota-based illustrator and comic book fan Josh Lynch had been wanting to do portraits of his family's dogs for a long time. But instead of boring, old photos or sketches, he went for a style that truly reflected him and his canines' personalities by portraying them as Marvel comic book characters. Josh has put together a marvellous series of illustrations depicting Marvel superheroes and villains as man's best friend. He has uses different breeds to portray a handful of characters such as Doctor Strange (his own Cavalier, Miles ) and Spider-Man(Pug)

FIND A BIN TO PUT IT IN
Since moving to Ponteland in Northumberland in England, 54 years ago, 88 year old Geoff Heslop has kept Darras Hall a litter-free zone by declaring his own personal war on rubbish by immediately taking litter off the streets. And his dedication to his work over the years, which currently sees him covering around ten miles on foot each week collecting litter with his Cavalier, has prompted Castle Morpeth Borough Council to declare him a “local litter hero”. Director of customer services for the council, Paul Johnston, said: “Mr Heslop is just the sort of resident we like to encourage. His daily walk up to his local shops is a litter-free zone thanks to his hard work. Estimating he has collected somewhere in the region of three tonnes of litter discarded by the publicin the last 50 year. If every housing estate had someone like Geoff, then the areas in which we live and bring up our children would be spick and span and we are greatly indebted to him" The Darras Road resident goes out every morning with Cavalier "Nery" to buy a paper, armed with two bin bags and a picker supplied by the Darras Hall Estate Committee, of which he is a trustee. And on his evening stroll with "Nery", Geoff also picks up whatever he finds.
THE SAD PASSING
CH MILETREE MONTESUMA OF LONDONCOR
It was with great sadness that the Cavalier world heard of the tragic death of one of its brightest stars. The lovely Champion boy of Cesar Cortes and Marta Londono was cruelly taken by a road accident a few weeks ago. "Uno" was bred by Ruta and Peter Towse and was the pride and joy of Colombian born, but London based Cesar. He had a glittering show career, reached dizzy heights winning many prestigious shows and was a wonderful ambassador for our breed with his fearless and fun loving showmanship. A great favourite of mine and together with so many others I admired him on so many occasions. RIP "UNO"...ALWAYS NUMBER ONE IN MANY HEARTS
...and a Champion in another
field passes
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our Blenheim, Cookie, who served as a Therapy Dog for Deaf Children. She was the companion of our Ruby boy, Winston. During her 11 years and 10 months on this earth she touched the hearts and souls of many people including her work with hearing impaired children. Although they may suffer from anatomic heart problems the true emotional heart of the Cavalier will never be equaled by any other canine breed. Good bye dear Cookie, may your soul rest peacefully in heaven with all those you have helped. Gregg L. Friedman MD
Cavaliers excel in different fields...many don't have titled certificates but are Champions all the same for what they contribute...
