At the mo he manages well thanks to medication, but I have been here before and know what will probably happen -and totally dread it. He was brought into my local RSPCA at a year old to be PTS (something that should have been done to the then owner!!). The reasons were pathetic and after lots of encouragement he was signed over. Being on the Committee (sorry if this offends but someone has to do it) I nabbed him. I believe he's from a puppy farm so I did expect to get probs. Even so I took the chance and don't regret it. He's the daftest dog in the world and I love him to bits. He also snores for England which drives my OH insane!!. In this day and age I would never have a Cavalier without insurance!.
Hi Liz

I dont think I would have any dog in this day and age without insurance. I currently have a St Bernard but my last dog was a boxer with all the usual cancer problems. He was our baby but thank god for insurance<g> My brother currently has two boxers, both of which have had tumours removed. My neighbour is heavily involved in boxer rescue but has just lost their own 6th boxer to cancer. Dog insurance is essential these days I believe.

Bet your cavalier doesnt snore as bad as my Saint <vbg>
