@amberpep I hope you can find another cavalier. We put ours down in 2006 and I still miss him. He lived to 14! We named him Keller which is Gaelic for little companion which he really was.

@amberpep My daughter and I actually used a baby naming book! Keller was purchased for her, sort of a therapy dog because she was going though more than her share of social angst.
Keller had no problems that were ever diagnosed, he did lose his hearing though and his belly got very leathery. That's great they have bred out the heart problems. I was amazed at how long he lived. When I walk by the spot in the kitchen where his bowls were I always feel a bit wistful.

@contentandwell ...... I appreciate your sharing the name of your Cavie. I never thought of looking at my Gaelic/Scottish dictionary to find a name, but it's a great idea. You dog lived to 14. No heart problems? I understand that they are cross breeding the Cavilier with the Cavishon and they maintain the wonderful disposition, but they've bred out the heart problems. It would be wonderful to have a little friend sitting alongside of me right now, looking at the big brown eyes.
