In 2000, David married Jean-Louise and Daisy inherited two sisters, Rosie
and Petunia. It was quite a change for both of us. Read the
whole story on our Excellent-Adventure
website.

The three girls got along well, although not famously. Here Daisy sings
while Petunia and Rosie look on.

The years weren't particularly kind to Daisy and although she was still
the grande dame of the house she began slowing down soon after her 13th
birthday. She lost her hearing so she barked louder to compensate.
As happens with most older dogs she developed cataracts, although not
too severe. You had to be careful when handing her a biscuit to
avoid losing your fingers.
Kidney failure finally caught up with her and we said goodbye
to Daisy at 11:37AM on April Fools day, 2003.
