Thanks to everyone who came to the Summer Picnic in the Park last month. We had 43 people and 36 Cavaliers and lots of great food, a presentation by Aloha Pet Care on assessing the health of your Cavalier and a great Fun Match. Congratulations go to Jordy, our Best of Breed, and to Hokulani, our Best Veteran. We all need to be reminded that our Cavaliers can age gracefully and still be beautiful and healthy after eight years of age. Many of us now have Cavaliers that age and will be dealing with "senior" issues in the coming years. Several of us attended a First Aid class from Kym several weeks later and I really do feel more confident in dealing with an emergency situation with my Cavs.

The Fall series of dog shows starts next weekend with the Leeward shows at Barber's Point, followed by HKC at the Blaisdell on Labor Day weekend and then Windward at King Intermediate. Our Club entries are slowly growing and we do have a lot of fun together, so please consider coming to join us and cheer them on. We will have ring times on the Club website as we learn them.  The times for Cavaliers to be in the ring at Leeward are 10:30 on Saturday and 9:30 on Sunday so if you live over on that side of the island, come on down.

The Waimanalo Puppy Mill case continues to grind on without resolution. There have been numerous delays while these dogs wait and their foster families continue to care for them hoping they will be surrendered legally to the Humane Society so they may be permanently adopted. As many of you know, three of the Cavaliers from there are being fostered with Club members. You can keep up with the proceedings by contacting the Humane Society, or on their website, and they are hoping for people to come out and demonstrate when the trials do start. I can report that the Cavaliers in members' care are doing well and are very happy in their foster homes. The Humane Society constantly looks for new foster homes to care for these dogs, some of which are puppies which were born after the seizures (some 70 puppies) and the litters must be split up and cared for. Just recently they sent out an email looking for foster families for six month old Beagle puppies as well as larger dogs. There were no Cavalier puppies born after the seizure or we would already have been involved in their care.

Halloween Bash at the Beach and Annual Meeting - October 29, 2011

It's time to put our terrific Halloween Party on your planning calendar so you have plenty of time to think about a costume for your Cavaliers. We will be holding the party at Beth Worrall-Daily's beach house in Laie again this year thanks to her family's generosity. The usual rules apply: good food, Cavaliers on parade in costume, lots of fun games and prizes for the Best Costume and for the winners of the games. We will also have a presentation by Cindy Fox on procedures for taking your Cavalier back and forth to the mainland. Lokelani has made quite a few trips to California with the Fox family and they are quite experienced in this. She has a book with papers for travel and will share her knowledge with us. I will send the map and driving instructions closer to the date but just wanted to get the party date on your calendars.

Precious Puppy available

This sweet little boy is looking for a new family to love him. He was born on June 7, 2011 in a litter of seven puppies to one of our Club Champions, Bella, owned by Esther Ohta. If you are interested, or know of anyone who might be looking for a precious puppy, give Esther a call at 259-7864. Several of his siblings are already in the homes of Club members and one has sadly gone to Maui, we will miss him. Esther and I took him to the airport to meet his new mommy, who flew over to fetch him. Lots of kisses and hugs of hello and goodbye.
