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!
