Charlotte was our first family pet and Ian's and my first attempt at raising dependants. Charlotte's ability to adapt to many new family members over the years is quite remarkable. Our old girl has persevered through the addition of a second schnauzer, numerous farm animals, and our three boys. Through it all, she has been consistently gentle and kind; this is much more than I can say for most of our other dependants. You may remember when we introduced Cobalt the lamb to Charlie the donkey, Charlie tried to stomp Cobalt to death. Or when we introduced Kate the duck to Cornelius the rooster, Cornelius attacked Kate with his spurs blinding her in one eye. In my opinion, everyone could learn a thing or two from Charlotte's lovely disposition.

Emily, in contrast, waited for Alistair to leave so she could
stretch out at her leisure and not be bothered by him. |
