Got a chance to talk to Audrey Marsh this morning ........one of my
favorite people in 'the dog world'.
She is such a sweetie... I love her English accent and her wonderful
self-deprecating humor.
Audrey has battled serious cancer at least three times and pretty much
won the 'wars' for now.
She is 88 years old....still has one of her German Shepherd Dogs by
her side....but had to finally have
her pet crow of about twenty some years put down......and recently her
pet chicken. <G> Now it is
her and the cat and one German Shepherd dog.
Needless to say Audrey is very special....she has a marvelous sense of
humor....loves her animals
with all her heart....still gardens.....with a walker ..... as she
deals with serious back injuries from years
ago. She still loves this Breed and loves to talk dogs, and still
keeps up and wants to know who won
at the National this year. Her love for the Breed never wanes.
Through the years she managed to train horses, show dogs, grow a huge
garden and entertain me on the
phone. I love her to death, and I feel guilty if I even dare to
complain about any pain when I think of
Audrey and what she deals with.
She has wonderful friends that help her and check on her....and some
of her closest neighbors are the black
bears and cougars in the surrounding forest.
If I lived up near Port Alberni Canada I would visit her often just
to hear her talk and make me laugh....what
a gift she has been over the years.
