Happy 3rd Birthday to our Raven 🖤🐦‍⬛

You should be here today. You should be stretched across the bed, sighing in your sleep, following us from room to room, wagging with your whole little body like happiness itself. You should be getting birthday kisses and hearing how loved you are.

Instead, we hold you in the tender places grief lives. In the quiet mornings. In the ache that never fully leaves. In the love that had nowhere to go, so it stayed with us.

You were only here for a moment, but you loved us so completely that losing you still feels endless. Some souls do not measure their lives in years, but in how deeply they are felt. You were one of them.

We miss the weight of you beside us. We miss your eyes on us. We miss the simple joy of being yours.

Happy 3rd Birthday, our Beaner.

Still loved every day. Still longed for every day. Still ours in every way that matters.

Love always,

Your Nice Lady & Papa

Can't believe a certain little puppy girl is a year old today. It's been quite a ride. She is such a sweet girl and attached to me like velcro. She is technically my mom's dog but she choose me. Ah well here is to a good year with a little stinker of a puppy.

The good news - Boris didn’t piddle or 💩 inside the house during the rainstorm. The bad news - he spent about 5 minutes taking his sweet ever loving time wandering around the yard and then came back to bed soaking wet around midnight last night. 😂

I know a lot of you have gone through this so any advice is appreciated, or even prayers 🙏 My sweet 6 year old Cavalier was diagnosed with a pretty significant heart murmur today and Mitral Valve Disease on ECHO, needing medication and then Mitral Valve Repair Surgery.

It’s only offered at the Jasmine Clinic in Japan or University of Florida. I have Trupanion pet insurance so I’m hoping they cover it, which I read they did for someone in Florida. Jasmine Clinic in Japan does the surgery more often and it’s where it started so I’d prefer to go there but has anyone had luck with insurance covering it there?

Thanks all, I’m so sad. Vet said without surgery and with just meds she could only have 2-3 years left of life.

This is the face of a pup who needed a special, dedicated “friend” to pet him nonstop while he was in the back getting his shot and tests at the vet today. Without said “friend,” he would start screaming. 😂 I could hear him in the waiting room. When I commented to the ladies at the front desk that he finally stopped, I was told about his special friend. ❤️

Sigh….lol

Just took home this little girl on Friday. She’s 14 months old but not really socialized so any advice is appreciated.

She was extremely shy and standoffish at first, but has become so cuddly and affectionate already. Love seeing her personality come out!

We are so lucky to have Lucy in our lives and we love her so much. Happy birthday mama

It is almost a month now since wee Waffles came home. He is so clever and so smoochable! He is very pouty when he gets scolded, and couldn't give a whit about any of the treats offered. But give him some words of praise and he goes WILD.

He's been out in the garden with me and is lovely with my son. I have a feeling I will be having more of these little babies in my life going forward.

He got one of feeders with the ball in the middle that spins. He absolutely loves it. It works best with really thin stuff like broth.

Biscuit likes to be in the center of the action - even if it’s just folding laundry.

Hi friends! This is Pippi Longstocking, she is 17 months old and our second Cav. We love her more than life.

Recently, through a series of events we were put in contact with a woman who has previously bred Cav’s for approx 15 years. She has fallen on very hard times with her house burning down (including all of her dog “things”) and has two litters currently that need rehoming quickly as she’s staying with a friend and they don’t have the necessary space.

We are definitely adopting one of the boys but are strongly considering also adopting one of the girls as we absolutely hate the position they are now in and desperately want to provide them with an amazing life.

The issue is, the internet has terrified us about Littermate Syndrome.

Does anyone have experience with raising two Cav puppies at the same time? Any and all advice/comments are welcomed. We have to decide by tomorrow! (It’s Sunday now).

Thanks again! 🐶

First day and we’re very in love.
