A Smiling Cavalier Sits Next to a Baseball Cap That Lost the Fight

A faded blue baseball cap lies on the wooden porch with holes chewed through the brim and fraying threads curling at the edges. Beside it sits a Blenheim Cavalier with soft chestnut ears, brown eyes, and a little open-mouthed smile, looking up with the hopeful expression of a dog hoping for a pat. The boards are weathered, a terracotta pot sits in the background, and a few dried leaves are scattered across the porch.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are small, sweet, affectionate dogs that love being with their people. They were bred as companions, and they often seem happiest when they are in someone's lap. A dog like this may carry off a hat, a sock, or a glove because it smells like his favorite person. Chewing on those objects can be a way to feel close, and puppies also chew during teething. To protect your things, give him chew toys of his own, and keep hats and shoes off the floor. Cloth and thread can cause problems if swallowed, so check what is left of the hat. Because Cavaliers can be prone to certain health problems, regular check-ups with your vet are a good idea. A walk and a game of fetch can use up energy too.

He seems as pleased as can be, and the hat seems to have made peace with its fate. It had a good run, and now it is a legend.
