Bentley in Tulsa, OK
My name is Bentley. I’m a splendidly coated tricolor Cavalier of seven years. I came from a senior couple that due to their age and mobility limitations, felt the necessity for me to be in a more suitable home.

I chose the name Bentley because of the royal like name, fine and sleek like the prized British auto with meticulous attention to shape, size, and body lines. My coat is short and silky, curly haired ears like a soft shag rug, symmetrical markings for my face, legs and even my cosmopolitan ice cream like tail: white tip, black flag, and tan bottom. Cool whip anyone?

Like the Bentley car, I love to run and go fast! I had a big yard where I used to live so when the door was opened, I let the horsepower in me take off. Foster daddy is working with me on the leash to throttle back a bit of that energy to enjoy some of the scenery as we walk on the sidewalk. Daddy says I’m like Velcro, where he goes, I like to follow him. Laundry, garage, mailbox, dinner plate. When he reads, I snuggle next to his left side and become his arm rest.

I’m doing well on potty training since the vet took out my two main ball bearings, and no accidents, leaks, dripping, marking, or poopers in the house. I’ll go to the back door and whine a bit if I need to let you know, but usually every two or so hours is my time zone. I’m not used to a doggie door, so most of the time I’ll just need you to open the door, let me out, let me do my business, then I come back to the door, and bark at it till you let me back in. I’ll beat you every time to the cookie jar! He fills my tummy tank with premium kibble twice a day, breakfast and 4:30pm dinner. He rewards me for outside potty with two small kibbles each time.

I do have a tendency with car sickness. Short local errand type trips are ok but any longer I need to get out and stretch my legs and tummy or you’ll be seeing what I ate earlier. I was diagnosed with a grade 2 heart murmur that is not severe, but the doctor felt the medication would be helpful to start. I also have dry eyes and need help making tears for my eyes. I will need both of these medications for the rest of my life and the cost of the medication is $120 a month. It is possible that I don’t see perfectly out of one eye as I can’t find you if you are on my left side. I listen for your voice to find you. I am microchipped and on heartworm and flea prevention.

I went to the dentist and had cleaning and polishing done. I don’t chew on any toys, squeaker animals, or socks. I love to rough house with my foster Dad and then get good massages and rubs. Just being next to you makes me so happy and relaxed. Since I am a shadow to my person, I am not happy unless I’m sleeping in his room. Before bedtime I potty one last time then crawl into bed and doze off quickly. I sleep very well, but during the night I’ll let him know if I need to go out and potty and then return quickly to get back to sleep.

I have plenty more years and miles in me. Any place you go I’m happy to be there with you. I look forward to meeting you and taking a few laps around the hood, doggie track park, back yard, or race to the cookie jar with you soon.
