Pet Parade @ The Polohouse

Miss Mabel

Today is Favorites on the 1st

@ The Polohouse

Featuring Pets Around Blogville

Meet Mabel, one of our favorite weekend house guests. At times Mabel stays with us for a few days while her "humans" getaway for a long weekend together. Mabel is a Black and Tan Cocker Spaniel. Her sweet disposition makes her a favorite with all our family. Spaniels are hunting dogs by nature, and Mabel likes to sit at the window and watch the squirrels. If she sees one when we are out walking she is likely to dart off in the squirrel's direction, so Mabel walks on a lease when she is in our care.

The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

    I really don't know that much about Cocker Spaniels but thought they were so cute when Oprah would parade her dogs on camera every once in awhile. Miss Mabel is definitely a cutie and seems so poised in that picture. Love those eyebrows. Makes her look very wise.

    How sweet is Miss Mabel - I bet you enjoy taking her 'walkies' Sarah. We have never been a dog family, only had two kitties over the years - now because we travel so much there are no pets around here! Some day I would enjoy a new kitty when we stay home more .........it's getting Bob to agree!!!!

    Hope your weekend is fun.
    Hugs - Mary
