Happy Birthday Holly


Holly celebrated a milestone birthday Nov. 2. Our Wonder Poodle turned 16.
She celebrated by going for a long hike in the back field, checking out the wolf sign and sniffing all the bushes. Her friend Tyko, the English Bull Mastiff came along. So did Achmed, the cat, who likes to hike almost as much as Holly does herself.

16 is a grand age for a standard poodle, and speaks well for her breeder, Michelle, from Torbec Kennels. Holly has been a great companion and friend right from the start. Thanks to her team of vets, Robert and Earl, and the miracle of modern medicine, she can still jump onto the couch, or the golf-cart seat. And while she is a 'tetch' wobbly behind, she still enjoys long slow walks, and car rides.




















So what do you do to celebrate if you're an elderly poodle? Well, you admire the fabulous portrait painted of you by artist Lorraine Thayer. You lounge on the couch, savouring the last crumbs of your blueberry muffin "cake".

And you dream about all the good folks who come to Bondi, and all the hugs, like this one from Grace last summer.
