Just 3 short day after her 98th birthday (14 dog years), we had to say good-bye to part of our family, our Cocker Spaniel, Holly Noel Princess of East Brandywine Township......and yes that was the name on the pedigree papers when we got her.

Holly was more than a pet, she was part of the family and a loyal friend.....our home is a bit emptier today.

The upcoming holidays will certainly be different......

The Princess in her Court.......

The Princess w/Her Loyal sidekick, Buffy after a busy day cleaning!!
