Her dogs are older, and seem to be all she has.
She is older herself and she states she has no family.
I don't know her story.

I only have a son, so I can relate to no family.
I had a very small family of origin and they have all passed.

I feel for this woman, she is not young and its difficult as years march on to just bounce back. She is attached to these dogs, which seem to be all she has.
