My Anniversary Gift From My Hubby!

[kimlovescats]

It is pretty sad that I have to begin my post this way ... but for anyone who wishes to pass judgment on my recent addition, I will not address your comments and if they cloud my joy, I will delete this thread!!!!!

Now with that said ... for those of you who can be happy for me ... my hubby got me a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy for our 15th Anniversary!!!

Please meet 10 wk old. Dottie!

She is an EXCELLENT puppy .... she never cries or screams or anything! We have had her a week and she went right into her Xpen in our kitchen with no problems. Never a peep out of her during the night or any other time for that matter. Last night was the first night that I decided to try crating her during the night. She was beside my bed and NEVER made a peep from the time I put her in it until this morning at 8am when I just heard her pawing at the gate! :eek: She is a precious little bundle of joy for me ... something I truly needed right now with all the sorrow I have had to deal with lately.

[M&M's Mommy]

She is so adorable. I love her colors, especially the brown markings around her eyes!

[Jadapit]

Oh Kim, she is so precious! She has such a sweet face. I'm so happy for you. :D

[Karen]

What a beauty! Hope she is a healthy happy pup all her days! :)

[borzoimom]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HONEY!!! MY mother had Cavaliers for over 50 years! They are the MOST CHARMING OF DOGS TO SAY THE LEAST!!! I AM SOOO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!! I want more pics- more more more!!!!!

[Edwina's Secretary]

My parents have had two King Charles and loved them dearly. Wonderful dogs....

wishing you much happiness with adorable Dottie!

[Freedom]

Hello, Dottie, and WELCOME to PT! You are ADORABLE and SO lucky to be with Momma Kim. She will love you to pieces, just you wait and see. What a sweet face!

[kimlovescats]

THANK YOU dear friends for the sweet comments! Dottie has really been a spark of happiness for me! She is just so precious and I've enjoyed her so much already!!! I have pictures to post of her with Kenny and also Gretta. Kenny is funny, he acts a bit scared of her! :eek: Gretta LOVES having a playmate again, since poor AnnaBelle can no longer romp with her like she used to. I'm trying extra hard to show AnnaBelle that she is still my little baby too! I really feel good about this new baby! :)

[Ginger's Mom]

EEEEEEEEE :D ! I love Cavys. They are sooo cute. They never lose that precious puppy face. Aw, welcome to Pet Talk, Dottie, I sure do hope I see lots and lots of pictures of you.

[critter crazy]

OMG!! She is adorable!! Looks just like My MIL's Cavalier, Charlie!!

In my experience boarding and grooming them, CKCS are very nice, even-tempered, sweet dogs. I've never met one that wasn't a sweetie.

Congrats!

[4 Dog Mother]

Oh, Kim, what a sweetie you have for a husband --- and a puppy! Dottie is such a cute name and goes quite well with that little special gift you received. (Happy Anniversary, by the way). I'm a thinkin' we are going to have to get you a new name ---Kimlovescatsanddogs!

I would drop over dead if my husband would get me a puppy for a gift - how lucky you are to have a special man that knows how pets can help you through tough tmes. Can't wait to see more pictures of Dottie!

[TFTpwnsYou]

Ohhhhh wow. Tri colors are so pretty. I love them! She is a precious looking little girl. Congrats on your new addition!

Maybe the airdale pup should have waited until your birthday or anniversery! ;) :p

[jazzcat]

What a doll!!!

Congratulations Kim, I'm glad you have some happiness right now. Happy Anniversary too. :)

[Bengalz]

What a beautiful baby girl :D Congratulations Kim and Happy Anniversary :)

[Pembroke_Corgi]

Dottie is adorable! Congratulations! :D

[ramanth]

Much better than jewelry or flowers I say! She's beautiful. I hope you have many years of happiness. :)

[catmandu]

How Could Anyone Be Negative About The Sweet Little Girl.
Has Dottie Met The Cats As Yet.
I Bet They Get Along Famously, And Are Fast Friends Before You Know It.

[xcolbi]

Dottie is ADORABLE! She looks really sweet. :p

[4 Dog Mother]

Maybe the airdale pup should have waited until your birthday or anniversery!

Staci, I'm not picky - I would take ANY puppy - it doesn't have to be an airedale. And by the way, all my kids and adopted kids out there - my birthday is just a couple of weeks away and our anniversary is early March. Maybe you could just send a few discreet pms or e-mails to 5 Dog Dad.

[Cinder & Smoke]

I guess "flowers" aren't the desired gift, huh?

Prolly work better if Dad was the one that *bumped into* and *discovered*
the Future Pup ... you need a reason to send him to the Shelter.

Good Luck, Mom!
;)

[kimlovescats]

Thanks again to everyone for the nice posts! I do have a wonderful hubby and we've been married 15 years and I'm KEEPIN' HIM! :D

[*LabLoverKEB*]

[finn's mom]

Dottie is precious. Welcome to the family, little girl!

[K9karen]

Stupid 'puter was down for while...I can't believe I just saw this beautiful thread!!!!!

Happy (belated) Anniversary!

[Lady's Human]

[Lobodeb]

Add me to the list of people who are happy for you. Dottie is beautiful and sounds like she's a delight to have. I'm so happy for you. You deserved this after the grief you've been though.

[kimlovescats]

Thank you, Debby! ;)

[cassiesmom]

How do you do, little Dottie and hello, Kim, I was just thinking about you this morning.

I have to tell you I did laugh aloud when I saw the pictures in the first entry! What a darling doggie girl! I hope she will have a very long, healthy and happy life with you. I don't know the first thing about Cavalier King Charles spaniels (except how to spell Cavalier!), so I'll learn from Dottie!

Congratulations! *pet*

[Muddy4paws]

Cute! :D

In my experience boarding and grooming them, CKCS are very nice, even-tempered, sweet dogs. I've never met one that wasn't a sweetie.

Congrats!


Snap! Ive never met a cav that wasnt a sweetheart! Shes got such a cute face!

Everything I have read and heard has all been good about CKCS too! So far Dottie has proven all to be true! She is a little bundle of joy, I tell ya! :D

[PJ's Mom]

That's gonna be one precious, spoiled little girl. :D Congrats!! :)

What a PRECIOUS little girl!! She's going to be so spoiled! Dottie is just the perfect name for such a charming thing. :)

You deserve that, Kim! You are a fantastic "pet-mom"!! :)

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Cute!!! :D

[beeniesmom]

Awww, you are so lucky.
I've always wanted one too.
Those eyes can melt any heart!

[dappledoxie]

Dottie is gorgeous! I'm so happy for you :D

[Kfamr]

Well, good luck with this one. I didn't realize she was only number 4, I had thought you had a Husky, too.

She's cute.

[JenBKR]

I thought I responded before but I don't see it anywhere :eek: What a sweet puppy! You are so lucky to have such a darling addition - Congratulations!!

[kimlovescats]

Well, good luck with this one. I didn't realize she was only number 4, I had thought you had a Husky, too.

She's cute.

Thank you, Kay! Yes, I had Hampton for a while ... here is the thread you are wanting!

I don't think I'll need any "luck with this one". I've been very blessed in managing the 4 I have now, including caring for AnnaBelle who is paralyzed from the waist down, completely incontinant and in diapers! ;)

I had thought you had already posted in this thread, must have deleted it?

Be sure to tell your Dad "Happy Birthday" again for me!

Oh well! Thanks again everyone! :D

[jackmilliesmom]

Oh Kim what a little darling I am so happy for you and when Jenna comes to visit what fun you will have. You are very lucky to have gotten this beautiful pup and its playful antics will have you in hysterics I promise that.

[Reachoutrescue]

Kim, congrats on the pup...she is too cute!

You're welcome, Kim!

Thanks for the thread, as I had never heard anything about Hampton leaving. Seems like he was a typical Husky. :) Hopefully he is doing well in his new home, do you know?

Four can be hard to deal with, so my "good luck with this one" still stands! :) No, This will be my second post in this thread, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. And I'm sure he'll read this thread, as he reads many of Pet Talk so consider it done... :confused:

[ChrisH]

Oh, Kim, I'm just seeing this, congratulations, she is absolutely gorgeous! :D :D

[ciciverde]

This is late but Congratulations! Your new addition is so adorable.
