Charlie Write up
Charlie is a Ruby coloured Cavalier and he came into this world on Jan 19, 2016 at the vets
via C-Section. Charlie's mother passed away from complications to her C-Section a few days
after he was born. Charlie has been hand-fed for his entire life and he is a very healthy
and strong pup and he has been a great eater from the start.
Hand raising/feed a litter is a lot of work and during the first few weeks puppies are fed every 2
hours and they need our assistance in helping them eliminate because they are unable to do so
on their own. Consequently there was not a whole lot of sleeping happening around the house.
We have to say that although it was tiring to hand-feed / raise a litter of puppies, it was also an
extremely rewarding experience. The way you bond with a litter that you have to hand-feed
is completely different in an amazing way from how you would bond when mom is with the
pups and she is doing all the work. We now fully understand exactly how much work
a mother dog does and our hats goes off to them for doing it.
We did have little help however when the pups were a little bit older. Our other two female
cavaliers mothered them in every way aside from nursing them. After we hand-fed the pups we
would put them down beside us for a short while and our girls would clean them up and nurture
them. Actually there was a bit of a competition to see who could get to the pup
first and lick the food off their faces.
The puppies have received tons of extra attention from us and from our other female dogs.
Once Charlie and his brother were a little older we put them in a doggie bed right beside us
and our female dogs would take turns lying down snuggling and sleeping with them. The puppies
have had all the nurturing that a mother would provide from their surrogate mothers and they
are very comfortable being held, touched and kissed by their human parent.
Charlie is a lovely boy. He is curious about things around him but at the same time he
is cautious. He is almost the total opposite of his brother in a lot of ways. Charlie is quite
laid back compared to his brother Mr Boots and he will roam around and explore but he
prefers to do it when someone is in the room with him.
Charlie is very use to being in the kitchen and is comfortable with the noises associated with
cooking and cleanup after. Charlie does like to chase and chew the broom if he gets the
chance. We feed the dogs in the kitchen and Charlie will wander off on his own
to eat and drink on his own whenever he wants to.
When we ask the dogs "Who wants out" Charlie comes to the door with them. Charlie
likes to be outside and play around but he is usually asking to come inside well before his
brother does. Charlie likes playing with his brother but he is not the one that will initiate the
play session normally. His brother normally dive bombs him and playtime starts. Charlie
likes the other adult dogs but he usually just plays with his brother Mr Boots.
Charlie is playful and is being taught not to bite (all puppies bite). We have a gentle method we
use (and will teach you) to discourage biting that really works and that puppies learn quickly.
Charlie is use to eliminating on the pee pads but he doesn't hit the mark every time. Although
Charlie is use to being outside but he hasn't quite figured out that is where the outside
potty is and sometimes waits to go until he comes back inside to a pee pad. Charlie
is on his way to becoming house-trained but he is still young and will need your
diligence to help him perfect his potty skills.
Charlie likes to follow us around and he likes to be picked up so that he can give you
kisses and snuggle in for cuddles. He isn't fussy about what toys he plays with and
he will play with anything you give him your hand included.
Charlie is a real charmer, you can't help but look at him and be overcome with the urge to pick
him up and cuddle him which is why he gave you "That Look" anyway. Don't believe me?
Look in his eyes above and just try to deny them. ........... I dare you.

Mr Boots is an adventurous and curious boy and he has no problem wandering around
and exploring different things on his own. He isn't shy of any of the noises from a kitchen
and he hangs out there with all the other dogs when we are in there.
When we ask the "Who wants out" Mr Boots runs to the door with the other dogs and he likes
being outside and is often one of the last one's that want to come in. He runs around outside
bouncing and playing with his brother mostly, although he does play with adult dogs
when he is out there but he prefers his brother Charlie who is his size.
Mr Boots has no problem initiating a doggie play session and he gets in there and plays like
a trooper. He doesn't care which dog he plays with, anyone is fair game. With that said he
does mostly play with his brother but he is not afraid to tackle the bigs guys either.

Mr Boots is an awesome little boy and is very friendly and loving. He seeks out interaction
with his humans and the other dogs alike. He enjoys giving us kisses and snuggling
and has no problem staying on his back for belly rubs. Mr Boots is very loveable and
let's not forget a very important detail, he is very cute to boot.
