She was 100% my wife's dog, never left her side. She always greeted me home from work especially as often the case I'd been away for a few days. She would grin, curling her lips back.
She witnessed my wife dying, a heart attack. I allowed her to sit with her for a while later that evening...
Sadly she is now completely deaf. She's 12 years old and has lost her spring. She loves swimming but would get in trouble quickly, head says yes body says no. At one point I had to reel her in. She still loves our swimming pool.
The only thing with her loving water my caravan stunk of wet dog...
