She certainly had- I think she had one left from the line of 'Susan', her 1st dog, that died a while ago. Then she got these 'to comfort her' after Philip's death- for me that implies they may have once been his 'dogs', but I'd have to have a closer look.
As an aside, I thought that she had stopped with the dogs as she was getting older and didn't want them to be a burden on others??
