Hello Minver
10:02 am

Don't you just LOVE them robbie?Does your blenheim have a spot on its head. I wish that I had 2 cavaliers.
10:02 am
Minveryork
Can you post pictures of them in your profile robbie?
10:03 am
robbie09
she doesn't have a spot, but she is sweet old girl of 8
10:05 am

Mine is a year and a half,but we've just had him for a year now. Hubby & I missed the first 6 months of his life. I knew nothing about this breed until I got one.
10:06 am

I hope mine lives to be at least 8 years old.Read that they don't have a long life span.Sprite has a cavalier.
10:08 am

good morning
10:08 am
Minveryork
Hi harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
10:08 am
robbie09
they are the sweetest dogs! my first cavalier died at 6 years of heart failure. Chloe is 8, and she also has a heart murmur.
10:10 am
Minveryork
I read that they're prone to heart problems; i.e MVS (Mitral Valve Syndrome). Their life span is 6 - 9 years.
10:13 am
robbie09
Sadly that is true. Since Chloe has no symtoms, she is not on any medication yet at 8,but the heart murmur is there.
10:14 am
Minveryork
They're still worth having, even if they don't live long
10:15 am
robbie09
That is true! They are just too sweet!
10:16 am

to forgive is a choice. it does not mean you have not been wronged or that a reconciliation is required ... it does mean you want to rid yourself of a festering wound

You mentioned having trouble walking -- do the doctors know what is going on or are they still "testing"?
4:43 pm
jaianniah
Sprite, What is wrong? I have an infection in my leg. What r u dealing with (want to add you to my prayer list...)
4:45 pm
sprite
they 'know' for as far they understand how the brain works under stress. I have cptss and a damaged pelvic girdle. When I get too much stress (which happens too easily), the hormones in my brain start running riot and in combination with the other handicap, that sometimes leads to a kind of paralisation. My legs don't get the messages from the brain to make the right movements then. Not sure I explain this correctly.
4:46 pm
sprite
how awful, jaianniah. Painful, I bet, and it must have quite some impact on your everyday life too.
4:46 pm
o-o
goedemorgen, sprite
4:47 pm
cybernan
it sounds very frustrating, sprite -- and just makes the stress even worse, I bet. Hope a solution for you is soon found.

4:55 pm
jaianniah
Ty, Sprite for your info. May all who suffer and play Babble be blessed today! I sometimes am glad for Babble- it is a fairly good pain-killer!!LOL! (But it does this by creating mental anguish and total frustraion with words like an6, 21!)

more sleep sounds like a great way to get thin

I have heard that people who cover their mouths with duct tape.. also lose weight quickly
6:39 pm

6:39 pm
rururocks

jmcnrick
I thought you would eat anything bacony
8:59 pm
crosshair
