Spaniel Bowls

Cindy Koehring makes these lovely Spaniel Bowls. Practical as well as pretty, they keep Jake's ears dry when he drinks his water! The clay and glazes are made in the USA and the bowls are microwave and dishwasher safe.

Vivi Anne Koehring

Isn't this the most adorable puppy and equally precious photo of Vivi Anne with one of Cindy Koehring's Spaniel Bowls! A beautiful Blenheim owned and bred by Cindy, "Vivi Anne" is 14 weeks old in this shot. Cindy also made the Spaniel Bowl. Jake has a set of the bowls and seems very attached to them. He gets so upset when his water bowl goes into the dishwasher we have had to order a second bowl just to keep peace in the household. Jake even started barking at the counter top when his clean food dish was up there instead of on the floor. I decided no harm in having this dish on the floor next to his water bowl and so Jake got his way. Again! (photo above of Vivi Anne by Cindy Koehring and used with permission)
Here is Jake with his Spaniel Bowls

Hot Friday!

By the time Carol (that's me, Jake's Private Secretary) got dressed and ready to venture outside it was already 99 in the shade, so Jake and John went for a very abbreviated walk. Perhaps all three of us will venture out tonight! Dinner is leftover salmon, cooked on the grill w/ slices of lemon and also fresh dill on Wednesday. We'll steam a few veggies and call it good. Jake will get a bit of all of it, minced up and served over his kibble.

Jake loves his handmade Spaniel Bowls. I must get photos of him eating out of the food one, drinking from the water bowl that is nicely designed so his ears don't get wet. Cindy Koehring made the "Alfred Blue" ones for Jake!

We three got out for that Friday night walk. The sky was beautiful, but of course by the time I got my camera the best of it was gone, so I just took some night shots of Jake. This is interesting when it is pitch dark and you're shooting a black dog.

Spaniel bowls.

If a water bowl is large enough to last Jake even half a day, his ears get dipped in the water, and then he invariably lands in my lap before shaking off the water. The little bowl I picked up at a local shop is small, shaped nicely so his ears fall outside the bowl. That means we are forever refilling it thru the day. So I resolved to find real Spaniel bowls, and one that would be large enough but not so heavy as to be cumbersome to pick up. So today I talked to Cindy Koehring about her lovely bowls she makes herself, fires twice, and has them in different colors and patterns. Take a look at the Spaniel Bowls here! You can even order water bowl w/ food bowl to match. Just one problem...we talked dogs for so long we never got around to putting an order together before dinner time. That means we get to talk again tomorrow, at which time I can actually order Jake's bowl. "Dog people" are funny. Even if they've never met, never heard of one another, you get two of them on the phone and it goes on indefinitely.
