Lucy is a snow white 8 year old schnoodle (cross breed of schnauzer and poodle) who cares for my son David’s family (David, Julie, Jackson and Maggie).   They are so well cared for that it was David’s inspiration to share the care, and some 6 years ago at his urging we were adopted by Lucy's sister schnoodle, who Joanne dubbed Charcoal due to her dark puppy coat.

In the early days there was turf war between the dogs as Charcoal sought to carve out her space in the family. However, flash forward to the present and they (mostly) get along when together.  See above photo.

Last weekend Lucy visited and it was the best yet!  So good that Joanne is talking about being adopted by another schnoodle puppy.

Thank you Lucy for bringing us Charcoal, our wonderful, affectionate, smart, sleep through the night, treat seeking ball of furry companionship!
