27 Oct ~ More birthdays to celebrate today with the 11th Birthday of Rosie (Enigmai Lady Opalite Cardea) and her brother Mouse (Enigmai Sir Apatite Zeus) ~ enjoy your day my lovelies (wet though it is).
23 Oct ~ Happy Birthday today to the ladies of Abbie's third litter in 2022 (Our biggest ever litter) ~ Oona (Enigmai Lady Ivory Veritas), Poppy (Enigmai Lady Amethyst Medea), Dusty (Enigmai Lady Penia Hersilia), Pebbles (Enigmai Lady Helenite Rhea), Maggie (Enigmai Lady Ruby Guinevere), Ivy (Enigmai Lady Gelite Salacia) and Leia (Enigmai Lady Alabaster Mena). Hope you enjoy your day ladies.
20 Oct ~ Remembering with much fondness today the little lady who started our journey in breeding 24 years ago. It was a snowy winters day in early December 2000 when we travelled to Bracknell to collect Heidi (Oakash Lady in Red at Enigmai) from Eileen Dimmock. Always cheerful and wanting to play (even when she was due to go into labour!) this little one went on to produce nine puppies who subsewuently gave her seventeen grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren.
5 Oct ~ Well after nearly four hours of accumulated telephone calls with Virgin and lots of help from James from Online PC Support I am finally back to a semblance of normalcy with my e-mail system. The big drawback is that I also lost all of my calendar data and am having to rebuild my contacts because I lost all of them as well. Luckily, I had made a backup of those 18 months ago so it just a case of rebuilding each contact. All this just in time for Virgin to be ditching their email systems (Blue Yonder, Virginmedia.com and Virgin.net) and selling (?) them to Jenara over the next few months - so if your e-mail address is hosted by any of those three, watch this space so to speak!
So, firstly let's catch up on significant dates since I was able to update the website.
22 Sep ~ In Memorium ~ Max (Enigmai Sir Hematite Castor)
23 Sep ~ In Memorium ~ Chloe (Enigmai Lady Euclase Peitho) and Buffy (Enigmai Lady Pyrope Electra)
26 Sep ~ In Memorium ~ Amber (Enigmai Lady Amber Selene) and Cassie (Enigmai Lady Enigmai Lady Jade Atalanta)
26 Sep ~ In Memorium ~ Lucy (Enigmai Lady Iolite Jocasta), Keira (Enigmai Lady Andalusite Nyx), Monty (Enigmai Sir Kornerupine Pan), Ralph (Enigmai Sir Bixbite Hynos), Duchy (Enigmai Sir Iridot Neptune) and Molly (Enigmai Lady Onyx Aphrodite)
26 Sep ~ In Memorium ~ Maximus (Enigmai Sir Azurite Perseus), Poppy (Enigmai Lady Albite Helena), Diesel (Enigmai Sir Howlite Mithras) and Harvey (Enigmai Sir Heliolite Koios)
Secondly, Tony Parsons sent me a copy of his latest book ~ Man and Dog ~ dedicated to his family's journey as proud owners of Stan (Enigmai Sir Strontian Turms) - many thanks to Tony for mentioning Trish and I in the book. I remember with great affection Tony and Yuriko's first visit with their list of questions from Jasmine because she could not come to visit. Thankfully it turned out for the better as not only did they pass Trish's approval but we passed Jasmines! For those of you who do not recognise Stan from his pictures in Your Dog he is also the four-footed companion of DC Max Wolfe in Tony's book series. Thoroughly good read evoking many memories of all our dogs over the years. So if you have a dog, had a dog or just wondering about getting a dog give the book a good read - you can get it on Amazon here.
12 Sep ~ Thought it was time for a round up of things Enigmai.
Firstly, Virgin have screwed the pooch with my e-mail account (and scores of others) with a glitch in their system for the the last seven days meaning I'm one of those who cannot access their e-mail either online or off-line ~ only took one-and-half hours on the mobille phone to finally get told that little snippet of information. Unfortunately it also means I have no access to my calendar for upcoming events or any of my contacts! Thankfully I have not yet got around to closing Trish's e-mail account which amazingly still works! So if you need to contact me pick an e-mail link from the contacts page on our website or, and it is not something I use very often (in spite of current trends), Messenger and I will try and remember to check it until such time as Virgin get their act together.
Secondly, poor Katie has had to have all but two of her teeth out so she is not very happy ~ and neither is my wallet at £805!
Thirdly, I now have a multi-coloured kitchen floor as the suppliers would not listen to the number of tiles required and insisted that they knwe how many squre meters were requied. They got it totally wrong and now I have a floor which is 75% new and 25% old. Bless!!
Fourthly, the memorial page for contributions in Trish's name is now closed with £198 contributed to Mountbatten Hampshire and £494 contributed to the MS Society. For which I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Lastly - and on to other matters. Before she passed away Trish wanted a solar fountain for the new patio so she could go out and listen to it and to also see the caskets for our deceased pets moved back where they belonged after the patio was extended. Sadly she never got to experience any of it, other than the photo's of my cavalier artwork, so I will share somed pictures below in her memory .
18 Aug ~ Thought it was about time I got back into the swing of things so speak and give the website an update of sorts. No birthdays ao remembrance days to announce, however, condolences are in order as e-mails from Christine and Julian letting me know that Ziggy passed away in June and Katie letting me know that Teddy had passed away in July so I will update their pages and add their names to the Rainbow's Bridge page.
Ai addition many thanks to those who have donated to the MS Society and Mountbatten Hampshire (formerly Countess Mountbatten Hospice) with over £300 raised so far. If you feel that you would like to contribute then the page is at Tribute to Patricia Cassidy
20 Jun ~ A bit of a roundup moment whilst I have a moment.
In Memorium for 18 June to Poppy, Ella and Ace.
Happy 8th Birthday to Bo, Buddy, Harley and Ralph for 17 June
Happy 9th Birthday to Ziggy, Jasper, Bertie and Chunk for 20 June
10 Jun ~I know it may seem that I have been remiss in birthday greetings and remembering those who have passed over Rainbow's Bridge over the last few weeks. The reason, I am sad to say was hospital/hospice visiting and the loss of my soulmate Trish on the 30 May when she passed into God's keeping amongst her family and her beloved Cavaliers.
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord
And may perpetual light shine upon her.
20 Apr ~ Having had to let all those on our waiting list for a Cavalier puppy that Oona decided she did not want to be pregnant and absorbed the placentas instead. In addition, after 24 years of breeding and due to increasing health problems, we have had to make the decision to cease breeding. So although Enigmai Cavaliers will continue to exist there will unfortunately be no more Enigmai puppies to add to the 100+ it has been our pleasure to pass on to new loving owners over the years.
Speaking of which, happy 12th birthday to Nero (Enigmai Sir Calcite Aegeus), Honey (Enigmai Lady Praseme Enodia) and Murphy (Enigmai Sir Celsian Aeneas) and In Memorium to Izzie (Enigmai Lady Gypsite Physis) and our own dear Ziva (Enigmai Lady Potspar Edesia) both only just having passed over Rainbow's Bridge. Just below are pictures of Honey and her housemate Patch which Bev and Alan have sent us ~ needless to say they will appear on their webpages at the first opportunity.
