I have so much to catch up on posting to this blog. I am amazed at how many people read my blog and then email me to find out if I am okay as there have been no new posts for a long time. I am crazed with all the preparations to move our dogs from the former Rattlebridge Farm to our new Rattlebridge FARMLETT (If that is a real word). Our farm will hit MLS this week; Cindy Yeager, my sainted Boxer friend who has long taken care of our Cavaliers, and I have been taking turns staying at the farm getting it ready to sell and taking care of our dogs. The hold up has been getting the dog living arrangements ready at our new home and all is now ready after five months of bad weather. We have turned one of our all reason rooms into the dog living area and our other all reason room into our family room for dogs and us. Both are lovely rooms with my must have TV’s with DVR so I do not have to miss American Idol (yes I rooted for David Cook from the first moment he opened his mouth!!!) because I adore the surly, sarcastic, and very handsome Simon Cowell! Reminds me of my Brooklyn relatives sporting a different dialect! Both of the all season rooms are heated and cooled and have lots and lots of windows with pretty views; they open up to the same large deck which feeds into our new very <\/em>large patio which then feeds into a large area with new playground mulch which will adjoin a fenced lawn when we can get to it. Not the acres of lawn our Cavaliers have had in the past, but certainly sufficient for our downscaled operation. We still plan to breed our wonderful Cavaliers. <\/p>\n Cavaliers are so very versatile; show dogs, obedience dogs, therapy dogs, agility dogs, lap dogs, hiking dogs, food stealing dogs, and now diabetes alert dogs. Please read the following from one of my puppy owners, Carmen Nicklaus, about her little “Julie:’<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
