OK then. Here is Lizzie Dog. My companion for the last 14.5 years which is 1.5 years longer than I have known my wife Diana!
Her eyes are a touch cloudy and her hearing has almost completely gone. A kind of stroke has left her balance a bit wobbly too. But she can still run around better than some dogs a fraction her age. Even if she then has to go to bed for a long sleep after.
She has been to the top of some of the highest mountains in the British Isles and swam in the biggest and deepest lakes. She has struck fear into many a postman or door to door pest. She has defended me when under both verbal and physical attack and kept theives away from my home.
Heh, numerous cats (Tibsy, Flick, Blackie, Smudge, Barty, Sonic [minus one leg] and Fang) and one rabbit (Rufus) ... Kate's Tarantula passed away recently
Anyway, here's Tibsy (now well over 20 now!), and Fang (brain damaged grandma that keeps falling over) ...
