Kamawarie by the lake

Home to our Kamawarie Cavaliers is an idyllic little spot beside one of the beautiful lakes in the green countryside of Gippsland Victoria.

Here they run free over acres of securely fenced garden chasing birds, butterflies and each other.

Our "kennel" is their "kennel'. They enjoy cool shady verandahs in summer and a chair by the fire in winter with always a spot on the bed at night.

The lake is a special delight with exciting strolls around the shores and the joys of paddling in the shallows with flocks of ducks beating a hasty retreat adding to the excitement.

Life is good at Kamawarie.

"He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him. (I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.)

When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself.

He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant.

His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait for me... whenever... wherever -- in case I need him. And I expect I will -- as I always have. He is just my dog."

"No one can fully understand the meaning of love unless he's owned a dog. A dog can show you more honest affection with a flick of his tail than a man can gather through a lifetime of handshakes"
