Parker Therapy
May 8, 2012On Easter Sunday, my husband’s mom suffered a stroke. After a week at the hospital she moved to a rehabilitation center, where she is receiving physical, speech and occupational therapy. Since we are frequent visitors, I asked if we could bring Parker. Now, he spends his weekends getting attention from staff and resident dog- and cat-people. But, he’s always willing to give Bob’s mom his brand of Cavalier nap therapy. In just a few weeks, she has already made progress. Is it due, in part, to Parker’s therapy? I bet he’d like to think so.

Home Alone
July 13, 2011Since Parker was a puppy, he has had separation anxiety issues. I read that most Cavaliers have it in one form or another. The other day, I left for 20 minutes to pick up lunch and came home to a distressed, crated dog with soaking wet ears, paws and chest. Our solution: Let him roam the house while we are gone for short durations (meaning five hours or less). And, it’s working. I envision him sliding across our hardwood floors, like Tom Cruise in “Risky Business,” the minute we lock the door. But, like today, my husband and I always find him in the exact same place we left him.

Grill Mate
July 28, 2010When my husband cooks out, Parker watches attentively from the moment he fires up the grill until he walks inside with the outdoor culinary dish. He knows he’s about to get a bite of marinated shish kabobs, barbeque chicken, smoked salmon or baby back ribs. The waiting is the hardest part.

Ready. Set. Fly.
May 25, 2010
Parker in route to St. Louis with his toys in tow. As the vet suggested, we fed him a quarter of the normal amount of food, limited his water intake and gave him a half tablet of Benadryl prior to the 9 a.m. flight. I wish I could share a frenzied story about him barking at the pilot as we entered the plane or refusing to get back into the bag after going through security. But, we didn’t hear so much as a sigh from our co-traveler the entire trip, as he rested in his travel bag under the seat at 30,000 feet.
