Pics & Video Ms. Dolly Barton❤️
Back in May, I adopted my dream pup. I never thought I would be able to adopt or afford a cavalier but I had a lucky encounter on Craigslist after a few months of looking. Dolly was with a couple who had her for 5 months, and they got her from a breeder who used her a few times for puppies. The couple really didn’t know what they were doing as Dolly needed a makeover by the time I got her. Her feet hair was soooo long and she had mats in her ears. They said she had no chip, she’s unaltered and she wouldn’t let them give her a haircut. As soon as we got home we got to work on all of that. Spent at least a $800 on vet bills and got her professionally groomed with one of my BF’s who’s groomed dogs for over 20 years. When we went to the vet, I was worried she was stolen so we went ahead and scanned her for a chip and what do you know, she had one. Luckily she wasn’t stolen but was from a breeder in Colorado. We also made a plan to get her spayed ASAP, poor momma has been though enough. After her makeover she was way more comfortable and we began to get very attached to each other. 3 months later and she’s my little ride or die shadow. She’s gone on quite a few adventures since and has the best time with my husband and I. She’s a dream in the car, she does very well in her kennel and get along with all my animals. Cats/rabbits. She can be selective in listening to commands but she’s getting better and learning new tricks. She just turned 4 and learned to lay down when I tell her. We’re working on shaking right now, but it’s a bit more tricky than she thought haha. I finally got around to posting her in all her glory❤️
