Yet again I find myself in this part of the forum with a heavy heart. This time it is my beloved tri-colour Cavalier, Victoria, who has left us as serenely as she arrived in 2008. I was thrilled to be given the chance to have her, at the age of 8 and at the end of a long and successful show and breeding career. I had looked after her mother, Joss, before her and she did look very like her mum, though their characters were quite different. In no time at all she had ingratiated herself with her new Dad with her Cavvie "sisters" Megan and Poppy and, of course, with me and her Shiddy Sister Lucy At Christmas time she welcomed her new sister Hattie into the Worcestershire Waggers Gang and even shared a bed with her (in spite of intense snoring!) Although we knew from the start, that Victoria was suffering from the dreaded heart failure that besets so many Cavvies, thanks to my wonderful vet's medications, together with all the advice gleaned from friends on the Cavalier Talk Forum, we have been able to give her a full and cuddlesome life for a further 4 years. Sadly, last weekend, she suddenly developed an ear infection, which quickly overwhelmed her entire system. We are, of course, bereft. She was my constant shadow and my cuddlebug extraordinaire. Nobody else can quite replace her. Sleep tight my beautiful girl. We shall carry you in our hearts for ever more.
