A Cavalier Scholar Has Lost His Place in the Sentence
Chestnut ears like silk curtains frame a thoughtful white blaze, and a long feather quill is poised in one white paw. The Blenheim Cavalier is dressed in a black velvet scholar's robe that fills the lower half of the canvas, and his soft brown eyes look straight out at us with a hint of worry, as if he has lost his place in the sentence. Behind him, pale grey linen drapes fall in gentle folds, giving the whole picture a quiet, library-like calm.
It is the sort of portrait that makes you lower your voice. The muted colors, the fine cracks in the old paint and the tender expression all suggest a small, studious gentleman who has been writing letters since dawn.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are affectionate, gentle dogs that have been lap companions for centuries. They tend to get along with children, other dogs and visitors, and they love following their people around the house. They enjoy moderate walks and games of fetch, but they are just as happy on the couch. Their long ears and silky coat need regular brushing and ear checks. The breed can be prone to heart problems, so choose a responsible breeder or rescue, and ask your vet about regular checkups.
The great work will be finished eventually. First, the scholar would like a gentle scratch behind the ears.
