SWEET SHERRIE ANYONE?

Lorraine Hughes has good reason to smile as CH LORANKAS SHERRIE BABY has just won her 42nd CC equalling the Cavalier Breed Record. She now shares this honour with Ch Keyingham Branwell who is 10 years old but as recent as August this year was still competing and winning highly. 

A MUST READ

Starting off as a pup in a stray’s litter, the young dog has his first interaction with humans in a dog hoarder’s yard. There he learns to love people, but after Animal Control arrives, he suffers the sad fate of dogs deemed “unadoptable.” After being euthanized, he awakes in a new litter with a new life ahead of him, becoming Bailey, the beloved pet of eight-year-old Ethan. Embarking on the most pivotal period of his existence, he learns the satisfaction of being a “good dog” and experiences the most pure, joyful relationship he will have with a human. Bailey not only adores Ethan, he risks his life to protect him, and after years of devotion to his boy, he is sure he has fulfilled his purpose. But when he awakes again in a new—female—canine body, she finds that her journey is not yet finished, and she has more to learn than she realized.

Cameron’s exploration of the world through the eyes of a dog is clever in its humorous touches—"Bailey’s" conclusions that cats cannot be trusted and horses are completely unreliable are hilarious—and poignant in its depiction of a dog’s innate desire to please humans. 

A Dog’s Purpose is a beautiful celebration of our four-footed friends’ big hearts."

 HOSPITAL DINNERS FOR MARK


Poor Mark Smith (Aranel) gives a whole new meaning to "heel work".   He has landed himself in hospital after falling down stairs and badly breaking his heel. He has now moved from Ipswich hospital to West Suffolk in Bury St Edmunds and will have surgery this week. I am sure a card from his Cavalier friends would help.   Hope to see you up and running soon, Mark 

BEST AT THE BAY AREA

An exhibition featuring a painting of a dog with aristocratic connections is taking place at WR Harvey Antiques in Witney in Oxfordshire.The Beauty and the Beasts exhibition includes English antique furniture from 1670 to 1830 and a collection of antique paintings.A highlight is a painting by George Laporte,animal painter for the King of Hanover, of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel bred at Blenheim Palace in Woodstock. The shop’s owner, David Harvey, said: “You can tell this was very much a loved dog, because it was wearing a red velvet collar with a gold padlock. It is also a sign of the esteem that these animals were held in that you would get one of the top animal painters to paint your favourite spaniel." The collection of animal paintings in the exhibition belongs to collectors John and Pat Stanley.
