Uh ho ...Where does the time go???....Its been a month and not a peep from us...we're so very sorry but it has just been sooooo hot that all we have wanted to do when we come back from our walks is sleep, sleep and sleep some more!
Charlie is still having to see the vet for his leg as one minute he is walking just fine and the next he is limping really badly again. He is having weekly cartrophen injections and pain killers. The vet thinks that it should be fine in time, and that Charlie is not likely to need surgery...lets hope so!
Louis has had a bad ear as well, but that's all ok now. He hasn't been able to have his booster while he's been on his medication but he can have it next week all being well.
Mum took Lilly to a companion dog show the other day. It was their first time at a dog show of any kind (except Mum has been to watch Crufts a couple of times but that doesn't count!!) Lilly was entered in 3 classes all with a large number of entries (13,13 & 17) but she came 5th in the class for the Prettiest Bitch and won a nice rosette and a couple of chewy treats. The main reason Mum went along was because she wants to organise a dog show in the future to raise funds for a charity or two, and now she knows what goes on, she has set the wheels in motion and begun the process of organising a show. There's still much to sort out, but its all going well so far. The main problem will be finding a suitable venue (if anyone has any great ideas then they would be most appreciated!. We're also wanting a vote on which charity/charities to choose, so far we have come up with....
The Blue Cross, Bromsgrove Adoption Centre
Hounds for Heroes
Pets as Therapy
CAARS Animal Sanctuary, Essington
Sunnyside Kennels (Birmimgham Dogs Home)
PDSA
Dogs Trust
If anyone has any ideas or would like to cast a vote then let us know at
info@beauclarke-cavaliers.co.uk
THANK YOU!
If anyone has Your Dog magazine then look out for Mum and all us pups on Page 15 of the August edition (out now)!! We will be organising autographs to be sold on E-bay in the near future!! LOL!!!
Well that's us all updated!

Charlie
Just to let you all know that Charlie is still limping and his leg is still turned outwards but is improving. At the moment he's playing tug with Pixie which is a sign he's on the mend! He hasn't been sick at all since he started his new medication and he's only been a very short walk of a few yards along the grassy gully way at the side of our house. The rest is doing him good.
Lilly had a bath yesterday in an aloe vera based shampoo and seems more comfortable now. Mum will sort out getting her shaved into that summer cut now she has her new clippers and blades. Now its a little cooler it will be a more pleasant task as the groom room gets quite warm in the sun! We'll get some pictures for you when its done.
Love The Beauclarke Bunch

Update
We are very sad to have to tell you that Scoobie bunny was put to sleep on Wednesday. Its a relief to know that he is no longer in any pain or discomfort and that he's now happily playing with his cage mates who have gone to Rainbow Bridge before him. Us pups all said our goodbyes to him when he mum was holding him while dad sorted out trying to make his cage more comfortable for him. Scoobie was a gentleman of a bunny rabbit and we will miss him. Of our rodent family there remains just Bubble the Gerbil now. While mum and dad would love another family of piggies and bunnies, they have enough to be getting on with looking after us 6 pups and the 15 resident kitties and 2 regular strays that they feed.
Mum has had to go back to the vets for some different medicine for Charlie because his pain killer was making him sick. Instead of a tiny bit of liquid, he now has to have 2 BIG tablets instead twice a day!
With Lilly having 2 lots of tablets twice a day as well, we're running low on our stock of soft cheese triangles..what a shame! We all hope mum forgets to buy any more when she's shopping tomorrow because she'll have to hide the tablets in doggy chocolate instead!! mmmmmmm.

Update on Charlie
Last night, about 430am, Charlie woke mum up yelping. It appears that his shoulder had popped back into place on its own. He still went in to see the vet and had his x-rays done, and the good news is that the joint is as it should be and not out of place. He has some looseness in the right shoulder joint compare to his left, which is understandable as the ligaments and tendons will have been stretched / torn by the dislocation.
He has some anti-inflammatory pain killing medicine to have over the next few days and hopefully his lameness will improve. (It was already MUCH improved on yesterday when mum got him downstairs to check him over after he'd woken her).
Penny and Louis are happy to have him home
And here's the handsome patient himself
Lilly had to go and see Uncle Steve too today because her allergies don;t seem to have settled, she has some pills to take for 10 days and then we'll see how she is after that. Mum will have to shave her into a summer cut this weekend after she's had a nice bath in Aloe Vera shampoo. If she's still as itchy then she will need a second lot of vaccine with different allergens in as well as the one she currently has. We'll keep you posted.
Byee for now

Poor Charlie
Charlie has taken quite a tumble out on his walk today. He was dashing off after Pixie and suddenly decided to come running back when he just went tumbling over himself. We're not sure if his leg gave way or if he just tripped, or what happened.
Mum noticed his leg and paw was rotated at a funny angle and took him right to the vet and it transpires that he has dislocated his shoulder. He has to go back tomorrow for x-rays so that treatment can be decided on. In the mean time he's had an anti-inflammatory pain killing injection. Mum gave him a bit of Reiki healing earlier and he perked up enough to eat some nice juicy spare rib bones for his tea. He's having a lie down in the garden where its cool at the moment. He's still been trying to play with Pixie, but it hurts him so Louis has taken over for today, or until Charlie's well enough to take up his chief playmate role again.
Please keep him in your thoughts and send him a get well wish.
Lots of love

Once again its been waaaaaay too long since we got to use the computer. Sorry Beauclarke fans! Mum's fault again!
We're all a little sad at the moment because Scoobie Bunny isn't very well. He had head-tilt just before Christmas and recovered very quickly and completely, but he has it again now and he's not so good this time. Uncle Steve, our vet, is keeping an eye on him and mum and dad are giving him his medicine twice a day, so we hope he Will be better soon and back to his cheeky self. He's an old bunny. He's 7.
The weather has been very nice and we have lots of photos and video clips to share with you including one that mum had to get done because a journalist from Your Dog magazine has spoken to her about her experiences of having a new puppy and she asked for a photo of mum with all 6 of us! Poor photographer dad had his work cut out for him, but we think he did ok
Here we go....

Hello peoples.
Well, what a disaster! Pixie had her final injection yesterday and we were planning a nice romp over the park with her today. The daises and buttercups are all out and the grass looks lovely and soft for her dainty little paws. BUT the weather has spoiled things, its all dull and wet and we wanted her first experience of the park to be a nice one in lovely warm sunshine. Never mind, we suppose that the park isn't going anywhere and so we can take her and show her the best places to sniff and play another time.
She has her final puppy party on Tuesday and then it will be time to say goodbye to her best friend Otis the Great Dane Akita cross. Otis has his sister to play with and Pixie has all of us so its not all bad.
Here are a few pictures to be going on with...
Cuddles with Louis
and with a soggy doggy Charlie
Discussing the new Parliament with Buddy?
Who cares about politics..did you say lunch was ready??
