Right now going to feed this curly girl

She's an English Cocker Spaniel named Basya. She was incredibly happy when she met me after work on a fishing ship (almost flooded the floor).
Pets have surrounded me all my life. A lot of old photos are lost or exist only in the home album, but I found a few.
Most of all, I remember moments about Newfoundland dogs. Big, hairy, very smart and kind (and a bit like bears). In these photos Nika - she has been a member of our family for many years and gave birth to 9 beautiful puppies twice(!). And she got along very well with children and other animals - like this tiny Cocker Spaniel puppy.

We even had guinea pigs! Еhey lived an unusual life and traveled with us through the whole west of Russia.

Love your pets, they arouse feelings of love and care in us and often become full-fledged members of the family.
