Trevor the King Charles Cavalier Goes to Jarvis House Camp for the Weekend

This is Trevor, the King Charles Cavalier that belongs to my youngest brother, Peter, and my sister-in-law Tricia.

When my brother needs a dog sitter, I usually move right in and stay at his house.  This time I decided that Trevor could try and spend four days at the Jarvis House, which is in the background as he walks across the street in the Village Green Park.

That meant that I had to load his "stuff" into my truck and bring everything that might make him feel at home away from home. 

Thankfully, he came with instructions, and the phone number of his vet, and treats..

We brought over his bed and blankie,

his water dish and food bowl with matching place mat, 

his sweet snuggly dog bed which he likes to rest in while we work on the computer,  his toys, and a baby gate.

He wears a stretchy leash, which I kept  him on since he didn't know the area.  Here he is getting to know the yard and driveway.

He started out slowly, checking out the Jarvis garden.

He charms a lovely neighbor, 

visits the YMCA playground, 

where they were putting up carnival rides.

He checked out Town Hall,

strolled by the Senior Center,

wanted to know what was playing at the Cinema Arts Centre,

went to the Arsenal,

visited the Gas Station murals,

saw an antique car at the Gardiner Farm in Greenlawn,

and came back for a needed a rest in the kitchen.

Trevor loved laying outside on the cool stone patio.

 We warmed up his dinner,

What a wonderful dog!  He slept and and ate and you-know-what out in the rough area out back, and never complained, barked out of turn, or whined.

When you  know how much your brother loves his pet,

you do everything to make them both happy.  A great dog, and a loving brother.
We both passed the test, so I guess that he will come back again for an overnight visit.   By the way, whoever said that dogs "just sleep a lot of the day" didn't know Trevor.
