Life is good in the crisp cool weather here in Woodinville Seattle. The beagles and cavaliers are enjoying walks and snoozing on the coach. We are puppy sitting our friend’s pug Oscar for a few days – he is just one of the gang 🙂

We co-own Sirius (Arrow’s son from her first litter) with Alisha from Lockestar Cavaliers. Alisha took him to his first official dog show this past weekend to play at the Puyallup Dog show. He made us proud and got some good ring experience.
Way to go Alisha and Sirius. 🙂
Brrrrrr ~ Woodinville Seattle isn’t usually super cold, but weeks of blow freezing temperatures has meant that the lake we live on has frozen. We have been enjoying walking on the ice (yes I promise we drilled holes to make sure it was thick and safe to do so).
Well, the day had to come *sniff sniff* when we had to make decisions on who we grow up. Right now, it looks like we will raise Sirius up and see if he has potential as our next show dog.
That means that “Teddy” and “Albus” are ready for their forever homes. We haven’t advertised them as we wanted to watch them grow first.
Teddy is full of fun – he is bold and goofy. We believe he will be a perfect companion for a family with children or even someone who wanted to dabble in agility as he will be up for anything.
Albus is sweet and gentle – he is a true lap dog and loves nothing more than to be with you all the time. He will make someone a perfect companion.
If you are interested in either of these precious dogs, we would love to talk to you.
Both parents have been extensively health checked and are clear for hearts, eyes, hips, patellas and both parents were MRI scanned revealing no CM or SM.
These puppies will be sold as companions for $2000 (US) on a neuter contract. They have been raised in our home with kids and other dogs. They have been vet checked, de-wormed, first shots and micro-chipped. They are ready to go to their forever home anytime.
These not so little cavaliers have stolen our hearts – they are so friendly and sweet with a healthy dose of puppy mixed in. It is hard to believe that they are almost ready to go to their forever homes soon.
We call them little oreos this week – we have been binding their tummies to try and encourage their belly button hernias to close. While not a problem, cosmetically it would be nice to have them closed up. 🙂

The cavalier puppies are 8 weeks so it is time for evaluations – to get a better idea we took headshots, side profiles and stacked pictures (both wet and dry) to see toplines and angles.
We are very pleased with all 3 boys. we have our eye on which one we might grow up for a few months as a show hopeful. We actually hope more than one will end up in a show home.
Next evaluation will be done in 2 weeks time at 10 weeks. Which one do you like best? 🙂
This weeks, Arrow’s co-owner Alisha, from Lockestar Cavaliers came over to look the boys over. So far she (and I) are very excited about how these boys are turning out. Whether they end up in the show ring or as a family pet, they will be beautiful dogs.
We took them outside for a play – here are some of the highlights.

Our cavalier king charles puppies are growing like weeds – they are now 5 weeks old so very mobile and starting to get into mischief. They are eating solids although not in any kind of rush to wean off momma Arrow.
Teddy has the biggest personalty – he is an explorer and loves nothing more than to tussle and growl. Sirius is a snuggler and a little bit of a mommas boy – he is our gentle giant. Albus is our observer taking it all in before getting in on the action. He got a cold last week which was a little scary but is doing great again – thank Heavens!
This week we will take them outdoors for some time on the grass – it will be fun to see them explore somewhere new and gather some different sensory experiences. we will also set up the play space now that they are interacting with their environment more.

(PS while Albus is smaller, he is not as much as the picture shows – it is a little deceptive with him lying down as the other two are sitting 🙂 )
I apologize for not posting any 2 week pictures. We were away last week and so I was not able to do them.
The babies are growing growing – they are starting to get mobile and explore the puppy pen. Their current weights are:
Teddy – 1 lb 8.6oz
Albus – 1 lb 7.0oz
Sirius – 1 lb 8.4oz
Enjoy their adorableness 🙂

Albus – 10.54 oz
Sirus – 10.58
