  1. Yes that may be a possibility as to why. Thanks. She does get sore and is on meds for arthritis. The bowls we have are fairly narrow and have kept Spaniel ears out for years.  She wears a snood for dinner but she wouldn’t keep it on all day. I’ll see if I can find something to sit the bowls on and see if that helps :)

  2. Hi, just wondering if anyone has any ideas. Our old Cavalier, Lacey, always drinks with one ear dipped in water. She used to do it occasionally but she’s always dripping water through the house now and the others don’t like drinking out of the bowl after it’s been dunked in. We haven’t changed bowls. I’ve no idea why? Any thoughts please? I guess I could clip her ears off but she’s so pretty. It’s not a major hassle. Just need to clean bowls frequently and mop the floors. I’m just curious as to why.

    Thanks

    Hey Gretel, 

    I just started this process. I hope to get 2 years. I think about the inevitable days that you had to go through.. Heres to many good days. Hope you are doing ok since your loss. 

     

    What is the one thing you suggest to prolong my buddy's time.

    Thanks CR. I’m lucky that I still have her daughter with me :) 

    Not sure I can suggest anything to prolong life except that I was very strict with her diet until very very close to the end when she got some treats she’d been missing out on. And be sure to always have lots of water available day and night cause they really do need to drink a lot. I also gave Ingrid cranberry as it’s supposed to be good for kidneys.

    I hope your friend is with you a good long while yet!

    It sounds like borders may not be the go for us. A shame as I love their scruffy cuteness, but I really want the more laid back nature. Would still love to meet one. Seems there are no breeders in WA! I had one lovely breeder get back to me (amazing how many don't), and give me a good run down of the pros and cons of the breed. So onwards I go with my search for a CKCS. Wish me luck. 

    Cavaliers are a breed that loves to be with you. Are you after a dog who will be inside as well as out? Wherever I am that’s where my girls are. They love outside as long as I’m out there lol
