This Cavalier Pulled His Ears Back After the Couch Gave Way
Soft white stuffing covers the living room floor like fresh snow, and in the middle of it sits a tiny tricolor Cavalier named Biscuit. His long ears are pulled back, his dark eyes look up and his whole little body seems to say he is very sorry. Behind him, the couch has a gaping hole in one cushion, with a few last tufts hanging out. A basket of slippers waits patiently in the corner.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are gentle, affectionate dogs that love to stay close to their people. That is also why they sometimes struggle when left alone. A Cavalier who feels lonely or bored may turn to chewing, and soft cushions are very satisfying to rip. Offering a long walk before you leave, a stuffed treat toy and a calm goodbye can help a dog settle.
Couch stuffing is not good for dogs to swallow, and it can cause stomach trouble if a lot is eaten. Pick up the pieces quickly and call your vet if your dog seems unwell. Cavaliers are also a breed that may have health concerns, so regular checkups are a good idea.
Biscuit does not need a lecture. The sheepish ears say everything. He sits in the soft white drift looking like a little prince whose snowball fight got out of hand, and honestly, it is hard to stay mad at that face.
