♥ 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.
