Our dogs were a key part of our lives together - some would say that we lived with them rather than the other way round!
To own a Springer Spaniel is a privilege but perhaps owning three is a form of happy madness. The order of the dogs was Plum, Plum & Raffles, Raffles, Dylan and Charlie who is still with me. They were all "rescues" but more than repaid any debt they might have had through the joy they spread across our lives.
