Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

by: Stephanie Bayliss

History

The title of ?King Charles Spaniel? was bestowed upon these dogs during the reign of King Charles II, who adored his spaniels and would not be parted from them. A law that was passed by King Charles II, still stands today that these little dogs can enter any public place, including the houses of parliament!

These little dogs were used to warm the laps of nobility on carriage rides and in cold castles and buildings, so they really are the original ?lap dog?.

Appearance

Cavalier?s are pretty little dogs, with long flowing coats with long flowing feathers on their legs and beautiful long ears (I?d recommend tying the ears back out of the way at dinner time!!)

They have very long, flowing coats and come in a number of colours; Black and Tan, Ruby (Rich red whole colour), Blenheim (chestnut and white), Tricolour (Black and white evenly spaced with tan markings)

Both dogs and bitches should stand between 30 ? 33cm.

Temperament

These are very happy, friendly dogs; they walk around with their head and tail held high. They are not nervous dogs and will welcome friends and strangers alike.

They like to be close to their people and will take every opportunity to sit on your lap or lie next to you in bed and fall asleep!

They are patient and get along well with children and other dogs and animals; they make wonderful family pets, and also make an excellent companion for the elderly.

Grooming

Cavaliers require a moderate amount of grooming because of their long coats. A quick brush after walkies may be needed, because their flowing coats tend to pick up debris along the way!

Long flowing ears mean that care should be taken at feeding time or they get covered in dinner!

Exercise

Cavaliers certainly enjoy their walks, and require a moderate amount of exercise. They relish the opportunity to get out and meet other people and dogs.

They will trot happily along beside you, head held high, taking in the sights and sounds!

Health Problems

Cavaliers are prone to heart murmurs, although generally lead a healthy, active life with this condition.

They can also suffer from slipping knee joints ( subluxating patellas); the dogs weight should be kept under control to reduce the potential problems caused by this condition. If it does lead to the knee popping out of its joint, surgery will be required.

Cavaliers also have the highest incidence of any breed of Mitral Valve Disease. A defect in the mitral valve (one of the 4 heart valves) causes backflow of blood into the left atrium, or mitral regurgitation. Less commonly, a narrowing of the valve can be identified. Because of the leaky valve, the heart is less efficient at pumping blood to the body.

Artsy Motorcycle Painting

by: Maricon Williams

However, it is not always that way. You can manage to paint your bike. In fact, if you are planning to do it in the near future, here are the things that you need to consider. First, the color of the motorcycle ? what color do you want? There is such a wide variety of colors available in the motorcycle society.

Colors can influence the bikes durability. Pearl?s, candy?s and lacquer reds have short life spans. Nevertheless, if you like your bike to be ultra-violet, gasoline and acid rain resistant, you can use paints with modern acrylic urethane content. These coatings are costly but you can rely on their efficiency. The brilliant hue, sparkle and feel of newly painted bike cannot be overemphasized. If you want variations, you can try two-tones and the likes. Just bear in mind that the use right and modern materials pays off.

After choosing the color for your bike, you have the choice whether...

Designing a Fun Family Coat of Arms

Designing a Fun Family Coat of Arms

by: Chris Simeral

Armorial bearings, or coats of arms, take us back to the glamour of the middle ages. In days of old, knights displayed heraldic devices on their horses' caparisons, their servants' liveries, and on their banners and shields. As war medals are awarded today, so coats' of arms and other heraldic devices could be awarded to knights for their service in battle. But the primary role of coats' of arms was identification in battle ? the bright, vibrant colors and symbols identified the knight to his men, and his flying banner was a rallying point for them.

Heraldry refers to the study of coats of arms, and takes its name from the Heralds, who were the special ambassadors and messengers of feudal times. They were employed by all great lords, and by the king. Because Heralds traveled freely around the country, they were also the armorial officials. They granted armorial bearings. At tournaments, it...
