SHACKLETON'S CAPTAIN
Kathy Jones lives in the North Island of New Zealand and one of her Cavaliers, Ch Shadola Limelight, appears in this documentary/film which follows Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914 disastrous expedition to the South Pole. It was partly filmed at the lovely old gothic timber house - called Highwic in Newmarket, Auckland. 'Lily', who was mentioned in the credits, is now in her 9th year and retired from the show ring - but still travels with Kathy when she shows her other two Katric Cavaliers.

"Downton Abbey Cavalier Pawty”
The “pawty” was a fundraiser to cover the medical costs for five of the rescue dogs associated with the Greater Chicago Cavalier Rescue. Many of the dogs come with urgent health needs.
Volunteer and foster “mother” Karla McKanna of Joliet hosted the party at her “estate,” opened her swimming “pond” to all two- and four-legged guests and encouraged everyone to bask in the atmosphere of 1900s aristocracy. "Cavaliers are associated with English royalty so it tied in with the theme. It’s very fulfilling to watch the cavaliers we have helped blossom into pampered, loving pups. Many of them came from mills"
"Lady McKanna,” as she was known that day —
encouraged both humans and cavaliers to be dressed as lords, ladies or
servants. For a suggested donation of $10, guests could mill about the
lawn and enjoy assorted tea sandwiches, scones and lemon curd, fruit and
cheese, tea and Sangria.With 62 people and 63 cavaliers present, the “Downton Abbey” benefit raised $700. Good job, GCCR
AROUND THE CAVALIER WORLD
SWEDEN
Ian Willey (Penemma) and I travelled to Tvaaker near Gothenurg in the South of Sweden to judge at the Hallands kennelklubb show in July. Ian judged 75 Cavaliers on day one, whilst Jos Dekker from Holland judged the breed on day 2. My allotted breed was Chihuahuas. This is a popular well run show and sees many exhibitors from Norway and Denmark making the trip with their dogs.
Ian's Best of Breed was Ch Aranel Sirius (r) and Best Opposite from Denmark was Cava Choice Hot Constellation (l).
Jos chose Ch Aranel Sirius for BOS whilst her Best of Breed went to Ch Campanards Dream Rose.
Jos also judged Group 9 on day 1, and I was delighted to see my L/C Chihuahua take 2nd in strong competition.
...after the show.... .
it was time to catch up with Cavalier friends, Peter Gustafsson and Per Wallentin and Birgitta Kleveby and take in a spot of sightseeing around Gothenburg by boat

Linda Halbert has asked if I could mention her friends Anne & Ian Gibb Stuart (Tangledwood Cavaliers). At the end of June their son Campbell had a life changing accident which has caused terrible brain injury and as you can understand has devastated his family and friends plus a couple of weeks ago Anne was rushed into hospital for emergency abdominal surgery. She is recovering at home now but faces more tests and maybe another operation. Linda writes "My family and I would like them to know they are in our thoughts and prayers and if anyone else would like to send them a card, their address is Mr & Mrs Gibb Stuart. Strathglass. Sorn Road. Catrine. Mauchline KA5 6NA. Scotland"
