Financially Independent, Retired Early(ish) at 57.

Meet Hazel.

I picked her up from her breeder yesterday. She’s an absolute baby… 8 weeks old. I’ve had Cavalier King Charles Spaniels for over 40 years and I’ve missed having one around.

I’ve also waited over 40 years to own a black and tan. This makes me the queen of delayed gratification. Next year, after I finish travelling so much, I’ll buy a ruby. Then I’ll have owned all 4 colours.

She and Scout are getting on beautifully – she’s the same height as Scout already!!

It’s early days, but she hasn’t put a foot wrong. She hangs on to go to the toilet outside, last night she slept right the way through and she’s excellent at being adorable. She loves to be in constant contact with me, which is the Cavalier trait I’ve missed the most since Poppy and Jeff died last year.

Happy.

    Congratulations Frogdancer! Look at that mischievous puppy happiness (and glad that Scout is happy too). Looking forward to hearing of your adventures with the new family member while I slowly catch up with your trip to the top of the world, as I’m way behind on blog reading.

      She certainly requires supervision, that’s for sure!
