Greetings, listmaties; I'd love to offer a mini brag about Tilly's whole, big, illustrious *1* point WB, BW, & BOB win on Saturday, or even her sorta, kinda nice 2nd and RWB today (to a lovely Ruby girl).... But my family was hit with horribly sad news tonight - not surprising news, but still devastating: Michael's 90 year old grandfather passed away this evening. After the family sat together hugging and crying (Michael was very close to Grandad), he & I sat in the living room talking. While he gathered himself (showing his true matriarchal strength!) the Cavaliers either crawled into his lap or affixed themselves to his body as close as they could get. The Labradors plopped themselves at our feet, but probably wouldn't have minded a lap, too.
I was impressed at how loving and comforting the Cavaliers really were; but I don't think Michael was even aware of stroking those silky ears, or sweet-talking the girls - he was just kind of lost in thought. Not that I'm surprised at how attentive they were, but ~he~ finally commented, after quite awhile, at how comforting they really were. Worth their weight in platinum, these little comfort spaniels!!
