Pink Glove Dance

Posted on Jake's blogspot because "Jacobs Keeper," Carol (that would be me,) is a 2X BR CA survivor. You gotta love this Pink Glove Dance!

Jake had some minor surgery almost two weeks ago. He stayed at the Animal Hospital overnight and then went to convalesce at my friend Sandra's home. Sandra is Jake's breeder and generously suggested she keep Jake after his surgery until he could be more active. Now Jake enjoys short walks, long naps! I bet this phase will not last much longer and enjoy the extra time with him sleeping in my lap while I do various paperwork or indulge in a video.

Sandra and Phoebe

Sandra came for dinner, bringing Phoebe the Cavalier. Phoebe, although not one of Jake's relatives, lives w/ Sandra where Jake is recouperating from surgery. The report on Jake is that he is doing well. Just a dental, a hernia repair and neuter so waiting for the hernia repair to heal. He is to be kept quiet for about 10 days. Jake doesn't do "quiet" without a good bit of restraint!

Birdie took a Major on Saturday

Birdie, Jake's niece, is pictured here going straight from Show Dog in Vancouver this weekend to Lap Dog Extraordinaire an hour later. Birdie, onwned and bred by Sandra Reiley-Lince, and handled by Sandra who reported "she was 'up', stacking and placing herself properly, and wagging the whole time, so that part was good. But the great part was that she won the BBE class of SEVEN bitches (wowzers!), and then was Winners Bitch, Best BBE, and BOS for FOUR POINTS!!! This same judge (Murrel Purkhiser) gave a major to JoJo (eons ago)." JoJo, for the unitiated, is Jake's litter brother and a very handsome CH Ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
