Izzy loves to lie in the shade of the garden, the oldest garden on the farm, more than 120 years
old. Anne Dambrowski, the gardener, has constructed this shade garden so that the dogs can lie in it, and the flowers survive around them. The dogs never seem to crush the flowers or dig up the bulbs. Izzy’s gentle spirit seems to settle there, and he is almost always in the same place, out of the sun, waiting for me.
