Victoria
When I first met Victoria in May of this year, her eyes were badly crusted over because of an untreated condition called “dry eye,” she had infected and decaying teeth, a severe case of dermatitis and ear infections. She also developed pneumonia and had to be hospitalized for 10 days. Through all of this, she continued to wag her tail when she saw me coming to visit.
Once her health had improved a bit, I took her home. I am happy to say that she fit right in with my family and other small dog. You could tell that she had nursed many, many puppies by her enlarged nipples. She is now spayed and doesn’t have to worry about taking care of any more puppies. Now it’s time for us to take care of her and we do it gladly with much love and attention. We just hope that her Grade 3 heart murmur and the mitral valve disease allow her to do all that she wants to (that she was never able to before since she came from a puppy mill). So far she is active and enjoying herself.
Now that she knows what a “walk” is, she gets very excited. Her “Cavalier” King Charles spaniel instincts are very strong—she’s ready to chase any small creature that moves. If she hears some birds chirping, she cocks her head to listen and then she must find them. She also enjoys just relaxing on the couch and cuddling with my son.

Even tho I did not sponser Victoria I am thrilled that she is in a good and loving home. I did follow the story of the Mill and wish we could just shut them all down and punish the people that own them. God Bless. I hope she has a fun rest of her life!!!

What a sweet little dog. I love the spaniel breed. I have wanted a Cavailer for a while now. I believe that like God says, “the creaters of the earth are to be taken care of.” Good Luck. I would love to sponsor her in some way.
Have a great day.
