First Annual Embee BBQ – 2013

We held our first Embee BBQ on the weekend where we invited all of our Embee family(those who have our dogs, are soon going to have one of our dogs, and those who we got our dogs from) to come and have a good time. We BBQ’d, ate cupcakes, played a lot of ball and frisbee, but mainly it was an excuse for us to see our puppies and their wonderful owners again. 

A fantastic time was had by all and we’re looking forward to doing it again next year.

Thank you to those who were able to join us, and we’re sorry we missed those who are too far away. We know that you would have loved to have been here if possible. (Calvin, Charlie, Boomer)

This post is very photo heavy so I apologize. 

A very special thank you to my sister for playing photographer for the day while my attentions were on everything else.  

Hansel came dressed to party with his adorable blue bow tie.

Zoey’s mom Jem had her party shoes on and showed all the young ones how ball is really played.  Jem is 10 but you’d never know it.

Allie was all partied out by the time she got to our BBQ.  She started partying the night before with her family.

Loki knows how to have a good time at a BBQ!  Chillin’ in the shade.  I’m not sure who’s chair he has stolen.

While I was preoccupied Mylee found herself a new lap to take over.

Ebby saw Mylee do it, so she found herself a lap too.  Molly is wondering who’s lap she can get into!

Erik was kept very busy.  I count 10 in this photo waiting not so patiently for him to throw the frisbee!

Bucky and his beloved ball.  Who cares about frisbee when there is a ball around?

Thank you to those who were able to come to our BBQ, we hope to see you next year! 


Our superstars – The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel by Graydon Sheppard

A few months ago my dogs were involved in a video shoot with director Graydon Sheppard and his team.  The video was for Nowness, a creative community for crafting and showcasing exceptional work and a point of reference for leaders in media and style.  A film crew invaded my home and spent a wonderful and fun day with our dogs. 

Mylee especially thought that the film crew showed up entirely for her.  She became the star of the show, they even changed the script just for her! 

We’re very proud to have been a part of this wonderful short film on our breed.  The crew did a fantastic job at showcasing our royal spaniels, and as you can tell by the video they really enjoyed working with our Cavaliers. 

Let us know what you think and feel free to share it!
