This seller had more larger spaniel paintings, all perfect for the English interior look. This painting with the dragonfly lamp is exquisite and the dog is so sweetly portrayed I searched ebay for ckcs painting I think it was around $3500. but they had best offer :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-7572443943082785112012-12-26T11:12:21.811-05:002012-12-26T11:12:21.811-05:00Yes, a great book Living With Dogs - there is a de...Yes, a great book <b><i>Living With Dogs</i></b> - there is a delightful photos of two Cavailers dressed up as "royalty" in it!<br /><br /><b>Loretta</b>Loretta Fontaine (EcoHappy Blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07267859119744984172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-67939092366265422532012-12-26T11:07:49.376-05:002012-12-26T11:07:49.376-05:00Ah, my family is waiting for our cavalier - three ...Ah, my family is waiting for our cavalier - three litters are going to come up in Spring and Fall 2013.

He is called Rupert, he's a black toy poodle, he comes to work with me every day and sleeps in a tub of fabric scraps( I'm a dressmaker) I have hundreds of photos of him. He doesn't photograph very well, being so black, he looks like a black fluff ball with no definable head/eyes/backside. <br />I bought him after 7 years of deliberating. I'd read Jaqueline Susann's book "Every night, Josephine!" all about her pet standard poodle Josephine, it was a hoot and I was hooked. I'm happy every day when he runs towards me with his bum wiggling and his happy dance. <br />BTW you blog makes me very happy too, it's a lovely escape from the fashion world for me.<br />Thank youMs Edgeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962603208255339463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-91857169636531087892012-04-11T12:03:05.591-04:002012-04-11T12:03:05.591-04:00Yep it's a slippery slope-I starts with fridge...Yep it's a slippery slope-I starts with fridge magnets and there's nowhere to go but down from that point on.Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-62414528355007878112012-04-10T07:15:48.081-04:002012-04-10T07:15:48.081-04:00there is another book you will love called 'Li...there is another book you will love called 'Living with Dogs' - its the American version of 'An English Dog at Home' with Brooke Astor, Caroline Roehm and everyone else we all love in it.
