Skyler at Poodle Club of America in 2006 after winning his class with his proud new owner Erica Thomas-Howe holding her PCA Medalion before he went to Australia.

♥ Erica Thomas-Howe ♥

It is with much sadness and pain that I write this to say that

Violet Standard Poodles has lost one of our

greatest poodle family members and friend


Erica Thomas-Howe!

She was taken from us all far too soon. Let peace be with her family & friends, and may the Poodle Gods always keep her with poodles, family and friends in her new place.


May her Legacy live on through Skyler, Tang and Opal.
God bless you always Erica

I truly miss you!
