I always said to my husband, when we get a house that I would love to have a dog. So we got our house and then we started to look for a rescued dog. We met Alice at our local animal shelter. She was thin and feeling sorry for herself. My husband said she is the one, so we spent two weeks getting to know her and her know us. The day came to pick her up and bring her home, where she was loved and cared for. She had the run of the house, a cup of tea every morning, and a roast dinner every Sunday, as well as her own dog food and treats. She was my shadow. She was old but still had a spring in her step. Three weeks ago I had to say goodbye to her after having her for eight years. She took her wings and went up to doggy heaven. I so miss her, but she brought me and my family love, friendship, and much more: my princess Alice.
