Life with Animals

We have had standard poodles for over 45 years, unfortunately last week we had to put Tegan to sleep. She was an epileptic, 11 years old and it was a fitted that ended her life. She was part of the family.

We do still have Honey who is three years old. Both dogs always knew when I am not well, sit in front of me facing me, and that's to tell my wife that I wasn't well.
They are so loyal, loving and caring animals who always give you their love and dedication. They help you to get over the bad times, like just now, Honey is lying beside me and there is nothing better to lower your BP than stroking your pet.

I myself am allergic to dog hair hence the reason for standard poodles. Thank you for reading about my pets.
