Daisy, our gentle Bernese Mountain Dog, and Lexi, our lively Labrador, bring boundless joy to our lives every day. Despite their age, Daisy at 9 and Lexi at 10, their spirits remain as vibrant as ever.
Daisy, with her majestic coat and calm demeanour, is the epitome of serenity. Her warm eyes and affectionate nature instantly uplift everyone around her. Whether it’s a comforting presence during stressful moments or a playful romp in the garden, Daisy’s unwavering loyalty is a constant source of comfort.

Together, Daisy and Lexi embody the values of companionship, loyalty, and joy.
